For now, take it easy as much as possible. Avoid heavy exercise and stimulating environments (either auditory or visual). If you work, take at least the rest of the week off and find a way to destress. Avoid heavy computer and TV use and get away from white noise if possible.

Lying down, meditating, going for slow and quiet walks (if you're able to), and listening to relaxing music would be good things to do at this point. Drinking lots of water and eating well is important. Avoid junk food, alcohol, and heavy stimulants.

It wouldn't hurt to call your doctor's office and ask to speak with a nurse. S/he can decide whether you should come in get a neuro eval and/or a scan.

Do you have anxiety? How is your mood?
