well not sure what this is

[peacefulandcalm]

Pressure so much it feels like a vice on the front of my brain. Dizziness and blurry vision for a second

over and over. I wonder if it is intense stress and cptsd or something more.

Will have to follow up with an MRI when I can.

I am dissociating, I know that, not present in my body or time or space.

It is my mom's bday and my therapist person said I get very ill on every holiday and bday, so hopefully tomorrow it will be better.

It feels so so so bad in my brain.

Hi Peacefulandcalm,

Is it possible that you have a sinus infection?

Hope you get more answers from the tests.

I am sorry you are stressed about the birthday. Hope it goes well...

hi Nathalie, no, I don't think I have sinus infection.

It is very strange and not good, but it started with the getting hit over the head with words and then dissociating and extreme cptsd from weeks and a month ago. If I am sitting or standing, I am getting dizzy.

I keep saying I will need to go to doc or ER but so far have not yet and trying to see if it goes away.

I am very sorry you are so unwell, Peacefulandcalm.Maybe going to the ER is an idea.

Googling for symptoms is not going to help without testing and that's something only a doctor can do...

Please let us know...

Hi Peaceful.

Could you be having a migraine? I get vision problems when I have a migraine. And they can be brought in by stress as well.

I am sorry that you are not feeling well and I hope you feel better soon! 💚

hi BrainIsFull, I don't think it is a migraine since the headache part is medium pain, and not the worst pain.

It concerns me as I cannot read barely and my eyes and brain keep skipping and losing focus. Head is very dizzy. It is concerning and don't know what to do yet but wait and try to rest.

[BrainIsFull in reply to peacefulandcalm]

How long have you had a headache?

[peacefulandcalm Encourager in reply to BrainIsFull]

three weeks mostly

you used the words …

‘Hit over the head with words’.. this would indeed be painful. Maybe understanding this is where the symptoms you are experiencing began is great insight?

For me when I experience the weird, and sometimes wonderful ways my body speaks to me, I head straight for my grounding card and steps so I can avoid the cost of things like an MRI or ER visit.

If the symptoms do not dissipate and I am brutally honest with myself then, and only then, do I seek outside helping services.
