Answer 1

Blurred vision, night blindness, burning eyes - very sensitive to daylight or bright lights are all symptoms of Vitamin A deficiency.

You need to eat more foods rich in this vitamin - Liver, eggs, yellow fruits and vegies, dark green fruits and vegies, whole milk and milk products, fish liver oil(supplementation), carrotts, cantalope.

Sounds like you're also suffering headaches/migraines. This is a symptom of vitamin B12 deficiency!! Other symptoms of B12 deficiency are depression, irritability, moodiness, inability to concentrate, dizziness, head and hand sweats, palpitations and chest pains, nausea and vomiting, fatigue and exhaustion and even oily skin!! Oh, B12 deficiency can also cause general aches and pains and a generalised feeling of lethargy and weakness, no motivation.

Go get yourself a really good multivitamin supplement containing all the B vitamins as well as Vitamin A and all the other necessary vitamins and minerals.

Increase your intake of foods rich in B group of vitamins, particularly B12 - Organ meats, sish and pork, eggs, cheese, milk and milk products.

Don't buy synthetic vitamins as they are notoriously hard to digest (the cheap and nasty ones). Expect to pay around $30.00AUD for about one months supply.

If you choose to follow my advice you'll be so glad you did cos all you have are simple vitamin deficiencies, which have very scary symptoms if you are not aware of that fact!! Your symptoms will disappear very rapidly - 1 - 2 hours at the most. For now, jus go get a couple of glasses of milk / milk substitute (loaded with B12) and drink them up. Then have a carrott or some cantalope or a salad............. endless possibilities!! You'll be good as new in no time!!....:0)

Answer 2

I have had panic attacks, sometimes I'm weaker on one side, i've had loss of vision, double vision etc...and those are all signs of migraine. You don't have to have pain to have a migraine. I was sure I had a brain tumor but have had numerous cat scans and I'm fine. When my mom was a teen-her twenties she had numerous cat scans and she's fine. I think with women a lot of it is due to hormones (it is with me!). I would go to the doctor but the odds are hugely in your favor that you are fine. This all started happening in my teens too. Is this all of the time or near your period? Have you ever been diagnosed with migraine? Also, did you know that migraine and panic attacks have to do with the same chemical, serotonin? I understand the worry but please don't worry. I am very certain you are fine. You need to go to the doctor, though, for a true diagnosis. I'd mention the paranoia too (especially if you tend to be paranoid of other things as well). Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!

My family, nurses and preachers. I've seen both, a tumor is a growth in or on the brain. Where the aneurysm is a vein within the brain that blows and leaks blood into the surrounding tissue. most people die of the aneurysm, which is fast. Standing there talking and they are gone. Of the two take the aneurysm.

Answer 4

First you must calm yourself down, stress can cause alot of the symptoms your'e describing, but I also recommend checking your pupils and if they are different sizes get to hospital immediately. Also even just make certain your healthy have another Cat scan or MRI, MRI's are better than cat scans as they are more demonional. Good luck and good health.

My husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2004. His symptoms included dizziness, failing memory, and at times, being lethargic. He consulted his doctor who ordered an MRI which is when he was diagnose with a brain tumor. He to this day survives , after having had a craniotomy and radiation.

I suggest you consult your doctor and have an MRI.

Answer 6

I think you should go get another opinion, but you may just have migranes. Another visit to the doctor should clear everything up. Don't worry to much about it.
