Hi, I am new and have a major question.

Back in March I was traumatized by a YouTube video that was really scary. I felt a sharp pain hit me in the head by the shock and the sensation was really hard to describe.

I believe I struck a nerve, because since then I have developed a strong sensitivity to noises and certain visuals. Any noise or visual that disturbs me seems to trigger a response in the same area as the pain I felt from the video.

In the past two weeks I have been feeling muscle tension in my head and 3 mornings I woke up with my heart racing, a numb face, and muscle spasms. This seems to be getting worse. I have only been getting 2-3 hours of sleep at a time.

In July I had a panic attack from reasons I can't totally explain, the hospital I went to prescribed me Xanax, an anxiety medication that has been helping a lot with these symptoms.
