EYE PROBLEM


21 years ago 0 26 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
I get this, but it comes and goes. Sometimes my eyes go a bit blurry and that really scares me, but I try not to panic and wait a couple hours, then it seems to go away. I read somewhere when you are having a panic attack, your pupils dilate to make you more aware of your surroundings (flight or fight), so you get a bit blurry. Also all the energy and blood is moved to your vital organs to suppport them, so other things miss out - like you get nauseous because the body is using the energy from digestion to make you run faster (if you had to run). I also find it worse if I don't sleep well at night.

I'm not sure if this is what you're describing, but I have felt a kind of burning feeling in my eyes, like they were really dry or something. I think it may have been a side effect of the zoloft I was taking at the time (I've since switched to prozac), because it pretty much went away when I switched medicines. I know what you mean about when you're looking at people though - weird, I don't know why that would be, but I found it was much worse when making eye contact as well. Hope that helps! Katy

Does anybody experience things like eye heaviness, sore eyes and pain around the ocul globe. especially when you are in conversation with somebody (looking at that person) do you feel tingling sensations on your forehead or something similar...PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP I AM WAITING
