Is this anxiety or something else ?

So about 3 days ago I was driving and as I came out of a dark parking garage the sun hit my face and it hurt my eyes which I know is completely normal but for some reason I felt the sun hurting my eyes more than usual. I tried to ignore it but I noticed as I was driving in the shade with no sun my eyes were still hurting as if the sun were shining in them. My eyes started feeling so wierd and I could see everything perfectly fine I wasn't seeing spots or anything but it just hurt to look straight in front of me and it even gave me a panic attack because I thought I was going blind.
Along with that I got a severe headache out of nowhere and this continued for a few hours even when I got home. The next day I noticed my eyes were still hurting and I get a dull pain right above my eyes and pain that feels like it's coming from behind my eyes. I figured it was just sensitivity from the sunlight but I've been noticing my eyes will still hurt even at night in my house along with the strong headaches. And then today it continued but I had dizziness with it . Does anyone know what this could be ? It's never happened to me before and it's scaring me

Brandi,

It sounds like it could be a possible migraine, which are not unusual and can go hand in hand with anxiety.

You can try an OTC migraine med, such as Excederine Migraine...and if you continue to have issues, see your doctor of course.

I hope you find answers and relief soon!

S.C.

Blu's mama,

Yes this is my first time having this I don't think I've ever had a migraine before. But even if this is a migraine would it be constant and everyday ? I'm really scared I have a brain tumor since I've been getting more dizzy and I've also noticed I feel really sleepy all the time even if I've gotten a lot of sleep. I've even closed my eyes while driving which I've never done before.

Hello,

I'm sorry you're going through this and just know that it will get better. Less than a month ago I began having migraines as well, it would start right at my forehead above my eyes every time I made an attempt at speaking. I would stutter and the more I tried to speak smoothly my head would hurt more at my temples and other spots of my head. Long story short, my migraine went away.

The only things that helped me was taking Excedrin extra strength along with plenty of water and rest. You may just be stressed but I agree with S.C, if you can't get relief talk to your doctor.
