What Causes Tunnel Vision And Headache In Areas Of Temporal Lobe?

After i have panic attacks, and i m talking hours sometimes a whole day after, i get tunnel vision and suddenly lightheaded. I also get a lot of very sharp head aches where my temporal lobes are and when i try to drink water it comes with a horrible after taste. These things only happen after a panic attack any other time i m completely normal and never get these things.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Panic attacks are one of the ways anxiety may present itself.

If severe and frequent, they can be disabling to anyone with this problem.

Anxiety is not uncommon. It may occur on its own or with depression.

It is best to seek treatment for the attacks.

This would come in the form of medication and possibly counselling.
There are a wide range of medications that may be able to help you.

Your GP may know a psychiatrist for you to see.

I hope this helps
