Visual distortions due to anxiety/migraines?

[Clerclaurent]

Ever since I had my first panic attacks few months ago, my vision is sort of warped. When I walk in my home town and I look at a line of trees for example, it feels like the line is bending.

It's very difficult to explain, it feels like there is a sense of motion even tho nothing is actually moving. I guess I could compare it to a dolly zoo effect (like tis: youtube.com/watch?v=VNO3BtN...(Not working as expected?).

Doctors told me I have anxiety and also vestibular migraines, but none of them seem to be interested enough to answer my question : is a warped/disorted vision common in case of anxiety disorders?

Anyone has similar symptoms/experiences? Or any info that could help? Thanks!

Hi, I have had distorted vision during a period of severe anxiety. For me, lamp posts looked to be bobbing up and down. It was very disconcerting until I realised that it was just my head playing visual tricks with me. Once the anxiety eased, the distortion went away.

I have this a lot it’s kinda freaky. But do you have any heart problems. I recently went to the cardiologist because my doc found out that my heart skipped beats. When the cardiologist listened to my heart I had what I thought was a pAnic with the “dolly effect vision” but it he explained to me that was my heart skipping a beat the lack of oxygen caused the visual changes maybe even the anxiety. Or is the anxiety causing the heart problems idk but it’s worth getting your heart checked.
