Eye sight

[Watermelon]

Does anyone else notice that as soon as anxiety starts or stress starts your vision becomes heightened/ more sensitive? I have an issue with my left eye as I have permanent Bell’s palsy since I was born. My vision is pretty crap in that eye in honesty and there isn’t much they can do about it. I don’t no if it’s because the anxiety becomes heightened that the issue with the vision starts because of my eye and it becomes more prominent. I can see my nose and my lips and eyebrows!!!! This is obviously my peripheral vision due to the heightened anxiety but I start to worry that there is something wrong. (I will add I’ve had these symptoms on and off for years and have regular eye check ups and have also been seen by a specialist no issue found) I googled retinal detachment (I no we shouldn’t google but it popped up on my Instagram and I was like it must be a sign) but I have no sighs of that either. I guess it’s just anxiety and the stress of my life but it’s getting to me which is probably why it’s staying at the moment too. Any advise would be great

Your eyes are on the lookout for danger. Even though danger is not really there. You are taken everything in around you. Missing nothing at all. Does happen big time with anxiety. Nothing badly wrong with you. Just heightened anxiety mode. Say a person has bad anxiety and wants to be alone. They will see so much more than normal. To show them they are not alone. They will take everything around them in. See things other might not even see. Is all normal with anxiety.

Thank you. Yes I definitely see everything lol can’t focus on just the t.v cause I see everything round it too. I see things constantly others don’t or defo become more aware of what others see also.

My eyes are a huge issue right now and I noticed the other day that I can see my nose and such, too. Never ever noticed before! I swear, if we were like Spiderman, all of our senses being so heightened would be a huge asset but for us HA sufferers, it's just a giant pain in the rear end!

Lol that made me laugh and definitely true. I said to my partner can he see his and he was like well yeah if I think about it but I don’t like you do lol. Drives me mad how things that are so normal set my HA off so easily. People with HA deserve bloody medals for what we put up so many people would of gone crazy but we are all still standing fighting it as best we can

Absolutely yes, sometimes I get this tunnel vision thing where I'm suddenly aware of my eyebrows and nose and glasses and everything else in my peripheral vision. Also I suddenly feel this intense pressure in my sinuses. At first it would spark a panic attack but over time I've just become used to it, and now it goes away after a few minutes. Just another one of my many weird symptoms.
