Both MRIs came back normal, relieved but still concerned.

I am happy to say both of my brain mris can back normal with and without contrast. That still brings the question. What is going on? My vision is slightly double at night looking at lights and signs. And my ears constantly ring. Lots of eye floaters during the day. Just odd. While I was going through my panic of awaiting my mri results, I was literally missing work because I couldn’t cope with it, anyone else do the same?

I can not function when I am deep in the anxiety hole.... I actually admitted myself into a mental health facility a month ago .... I spent 8 days there and was done better when I left but now am juggling to find a medication that does not cause side effects

I don't know the whole picture here, but I suffer similarly - I know it's frustrating, but give yourself permission to relax a little bit. If you've gotten imaging and labs done, sounds like you're in the clear in terms of anything dangerous.

I'm definitely not a medical professional, but do you happen to suffer from migraines or any kind of seizures/epilepsy? Something I've noticed a lot researching these symptoms is that it seems most common in people who have issues where there's some over-activity in the brain. And people who suffer from those issues tend to be extremely aware of their senses (since they have to be careful about triggering their condition).

I think it is a mental issue, it could be aftereffects of anxiety. I do not think you should miss work completely, i think you should consider working less hours. These issues need to be addressed. Google the remedies, and get the nitty gritty on what illness or issue you actually have.

Eye floaters are common especially if you are nearsighted

was it due to health anxiety or something else

Yes completely due to my Heath Anxiety

I have migraines and have over the past year had issues with numbness, tingling, twitches. I’m constantly scared it’s ms or something like that.

I went through this a while back. I thought the "god rays" (blur) from lighting contrast was double vision, so when I saw dark text on a light background or saw lit up signs, or even the moon, there was a slight halo that struck me as double vision. My ears also constantly ring, and that's because I have tinnitus. Floaters during the day because I have health anxiety and I am hyper aware and looking for visual symptoms. MRI results came back fine, and I was diagnosed with dry eyes (the ringing is a separate issue and for me it is permanent). Once my anxiety passed, I stopped paying attention the the symptoms and now I don't care. The letters on my keyboard are backlit, and even as I type this I can see them doing that same effect that drove me to panic years ago. All this happened in 2008 and I've lived with it for 12 years. No biggie.
