Hi - my anxiety decided to come out and play full-time following a migraine aura that gave me a wicked panic attack about 6 weeks ago. I went to the ER and after blood work and ECG came back okay, they confirmed it was a panic attack. I have had some anxiety for a few years now that I contribute to the CRPS I have in my foot following a surgery that went wrong. I was on Lyrica for about 4 years and then finally weaned off if it as it really wasn't helping and that's when I felt the anxiety start. It has been manageable up until the aura. I have been getting headaches to some degree nearly every day and my head and neck feel heavy with pressure plus not much of an appetite. I have had 2 more auras without much of a headache since that bad one (and I've had them previous to this too). the last one I'm sure was due to the Christmas tree lights that I had on while decorating the tree. I had a CT scan that was normal and I am now on day 6 of Sertraline and Nortriptyline. I think it may be starting to help along with the anti-motion sickness remedy I take once or twice a day but, and perhaps this is the anxiety talking, I'm still a bit scared that there is something else going on. I've been wondering if its maybe a thyroid or adrenal gland issue or even something that the CT scan missed. I am seeing my doc later this week so wondering if anyone has had a similar experience or can offer some advice to someone that is new to all of this. Thanks for reading.
