Blurred vision

Hello everyone - I have not posted here in a while. I had severe anxiety and panic disorders and started Paxil about 2 months ago along with Clonozepam and felt much better. That was until I received a cotisone shot into my shoulder 2 weeks ago - since then I have been very anxious and had few panic attacks - from what I am reading Cortisone injections can cause anxiety. Anyway, what has happened to me today was a new symptom. I was driving and all the sudden my right eye became kind of blurry and almost like double vision - it almost felt like a fly would get in there and move around - I couldn't really see clearly out of that eye and felt like I was having a stroke or something - of course my panic kicked in and I had full blown panic attack, couldn't breathe, was dizzy, heart racing, felt like I was going to pass out and die. As it happened I was right next to the hospital so I pulled into the lot and walked over to the emergency - well I stopped in front of the entrance and sat on the bench and calmed myself down which of course made all the symptoms disappear. Has anyone ever experience blurry one eye with panic attack? THis was my first and now I am ofcourse reading online that it is a symptom of a stroke and it makes me even more anxious. ANy help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you SC. I was thinking about that something might have gotten into my eye as it is extremely windy today. Also, right before i get into the car and started driving I was eating at a deli that is pretty dark inside and then came out and it was very sunny so maybe just the sensitivity to the light, I am not sure.

All I know was that I got this blurry\foggy kind of vision and ofcourse I panicked and then it escalated from there. Also, I should mention that my eyes tend to get very dry and I have also been dealing with sinus like pressure for a while now so maybe it was also contributing to the cause, but like you know, we tend to think of the worst possible things when something happens.

Also, another thing I forgot to mention was that after I came myself down and went to the mall, I started to rub my right eye and as I was rubbing it I would get the same sensation as during the episode. I am going to regular doctor for yearly physical on Tuesday so I will ask him about this and see what he thinks.

I really hope it is nothing serious but keep thinking it is. I am 33 and in very good physical shape - eat very healthy diet and excercise 6 days a week for 2 hours.

Thank you.
