Suggest Treatment For Anxiety Disorder And Numbness On The Face

I have anxiety and lately my bad eye is starting to feel worse, and it feels like my eyes can't focus properly, along with a sharp pain and my nose and ear feeling funny. A night ago, my face on that side felt numb, but when I went to the hospital, they told me I am fine. Is what I'm feeling just a side affect of anxiety?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Anxiety disorders are a category of mental disorders characterized by feelings of anxiety and fear, where anxiety is a worry about future events and fear is a reaction to current events. These feelings may cause physical symptoms, such as a racing heart and shakiness. There are a number of anxiety disorders: including generalized anxiety disorder, a specific phobia, social anxiety disorder, separation anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, and panic disorder among others. While each has its own characteristics and symptoms, they all include symptoms of anxiety.

In your case, I see the fear and the associated physical symptoms (which are not present in actuality). But more than that, I see the obsession you carry on with you. I suggest you psychotherapy and life style changes for management of your anxiety.

Good luck. Take care.
