STROKE

[Footballmadness2019]

I am so so worried about having a bleed on the brain or a blockage or tumour. I have seen paramedics they checked my heart and then i went to my doctor and he checked my eyes with a light he said the optic nerve is a mirror to all of the brains activity and health and he said that mine was healthy would he of noticed a tumour and any bleeding or future bleeding as he would notice pressure. I just feel pressure and really lightheaded could all this just be because i'm worried i am honestly so scared

Yes, it absolutely can. Anxiety makes the muscles tense, even the ones in your head. So, when you’re worried about a certain area of your body those muscles tend to tense even more, anxiety is cruel that way. Dizziness is also common with severe anxiety, I know that I’ve had it several times and it really intensifies the panic feeling.

You’re in good shape, the doctor has cleared you, you are not dying! You do not have a brain bleed, you’re not having a stroke, you are ok. I want you to go online and find some guided meditation and calming techniques. You just need to calm yourself down and get past this panic. I know that it feels hopeless but it isn’t. I promise you, if you can learn to calm down when things are like this, learn to not fear the anxiety it will stop. You are ok and you will be ok.

as i said in our DMs, both of the things you're concerned about are medical emergencies. if you had either, you wouldn't be here a day later talking about it on a message board about anxiety. you're good, just a little anxious.

i think chiliphil had some great advice. i'd also add that therapy is good option.

My Anxiety got bad on monday would the doctors and paramedic notice health issues and i'm pretty sure i would be dead now if it was anything bad considering it started on monday

again, as i said in our DMs, if you had either of those issues, you'd either be A.) in the hospital right now or B.) dead.

even if by some miracle, you were suffering from either of those conditions and weren't dead or in the hospital, your condition would continue to degrade and there's no chance you wouldn't have some serious mental and physical deficits at this point.
