As per your previous post and my reply - sounds like adrenals struggling. but if it gets too much then speak to your doctor - there is hep out tere for anxiety -and not always medication.

Morning Harrywogan,little figures on car?Sounds like Charles Bonnet symptoms which I experienced in the early days of my GCA and now very rarely get.Nope,you are NOT going mad,it is a recognised condition associated with people with sight loss with GCA.Have you lost sight?I used to see dogs,cats and even a Shetland pony,many different variations for different people.Apparently the brain trying to adjust and sending random messages to eye.Good luck to you and if you are still concerned ,google Charles Bonnet and read all about it.I was given literature by the RNIB to ut my mind at rest.x😜

Sorry,forgot to say,the post from Dorset lady is the most important,a very wise lady and knows what she is talking about,all I am saying that Charles Bonnet MAY come into it but only if you have sight loss I think.x

Hi HarryWogan,just read my leaflets on CBS and found that people with macular degeneration can get it too,up to 50 per cent of people.So have you got MD?Best wishes,x😜
