What Causes Blurred Vision And Migraine When Diagnosed With Anxiety?

Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
Headache, blurred vision, migraine, shortness of breath, lightheadedness -- all of these are typical and normal somatic symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks. None of these symptoms are suggestive of any serious problem such as cancer. Instead, they are consistent with anxiety. I suggest seeking treatment for anxiety, using an SSRI antidepressant such as Lexapro, and/or psychotherapy with a therapist, cognitive behavior therapy preferred if possible.

Detailed Answer:
An SSRI antidepressant such as Lexapro or Zoloft are not habit-forming and are very effective treatments for anxiety. I would ask your doctor about starting one of these to treat anxiety.
