Are Lightheadedness, Eye Sensitivity And Foggy Feeling In Head Symptoms Of Schizophrenia?

You are not schizophrenic so no need to worry.
Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries
I can understand your concern. I have read the history of problems you have mentioned and from the symptoms you have mentioned it appears that you have complaints related to anxiety spectrum disorder. In all history you haven't mentioned any symptom that can be used to make diagnosis of Schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a psychotic illness in which various psychotic symptoms like auditory hallucinations (third person hallucinations), delusions, suspiciousness, abnormal behaviour, irrelevant talking etc are seen.
Your symptoms don't suggest Schizophrenia. So you are not suffering from Schizophrenia.
Your doctor are saying right, they are taking your scan just to reassure you and scans have no role in making diagnosis of anxiety disorders. There is nothing wrong in your head, please remain relaxed. You are absolutely fine.
Thanks, Hope this helps you. If you have more doubts please ask again.
Take care


All these symptoms are due to anxiety only, no need to worry
Detailed Answer:
Hello again and thanks for asking again.
I can understand your concern but in the same time I agree with your doctor also. Multiple CT scans results in exposure to X rays and this may prove harmful in future. So CT scan should be done only under indication only. So try to reassure yourself without CT scan as this will be best for your health. Your Blood work was normal because if it was abnormal then they would have informed you. So no need to worry. All these symptoms you are having are due to severe anxiety only and this anxiety is related to ideas about bad health. This is nothing but health anxiety. Try to relax yourself. Don't feel bad about your health. You are absolutely normal and are not suffering from any serious illness. The tingling in fingers, aching in legs and arms, poor concentration, tunnel vision like symptoms etc occurred due to health anxiety attack only. So continue to take medicines for your health anxiety and your symptoms will reduce.
Thanks, Still have more doubts please ask again.


You are healthy and are not getting older

Hello again and thanks for asking a follow up
Yes considering the history you have mentioned your symptoms are related to health anxiety only and there is no need to go for more and more investigations. The fear that you might develop slurring of speech or will loose some function is also due to this anxiety. You are perfectly healthy and no need to worry for that. She is right continue to take Zoloft or Sertraline and your anxiety and anticipation will reduce. Try to avoid minor symptoms and don't maximise them. Suppress any feeling that provoke the anxiety.
Don't feel that you are getting older. You are 27 only and have perfect health so how can you become older. You are not going to slur or will develop weakness in joints. No need to worry. Just relax yourself and remain calm. Reassure yourself again and again that you are healthy.
Thanks, hope this helps. Still have more doubts please don't hesitate to ask agin.
