Could it all be stress and anxiety? 20 year old male?!
Question: I have been under alot of stress and have been have health problems. I have nausea, feel off balance, and notice one of my pupils were bigger than the other(only at night). They are normal most of the time and react to light. Can stress do this? I feel off balance to the left and it worse in the moring. From the time I wake up the only thing I worry about is my health. With balance I have never fallen and I can stand on one foot with both leges so I dont no if its just me. Can chronic anxiety cause this. I dont have bad headaches, but I do get them. Please anyone who has gone thro this. I always think the worst like tumors, but family and docs so no. I dont think ppl with a real diease worry this much. Anyone who has been thro this would help.

Stress can hit any body any age any economic background. The sick you have was created from the brain. Before the barn is the source which is your life; the way you eat, the way you work, the way you sleep, no sport, and so on. Drugs are not helping so much because it is just temporary.
First thing first, fix your life to be better: sleep enough, eat well, work enough, little sport in the morning, and don't think to much. Don't be lazy, it's your life needed to be fixed. Body is just a tool. The way to use and maintain the tool needed to be fixed.
second, if the tings get better, fixed your life problems once at a time, step by step. Don't ignore the small detail. Detail is important but not ultimate.
Third, pray to GOD that you belief and ask for guidance. It is good for your mental health.
Your commitment to fix your life is a must. God luck! You need it.
Are you taking any medications? anti-depressants?
If so, that could be cause those problems. You should go see a doctor.
Stress and anxiety can lead to many different symptoms but being overly anxious and stressed because of this can put more pressure on your body. I think if you have been to the doctor, you should just calm down a little. Relax, take a couple of days to rest. Drink warm tea before going to bed. Stop worrying so much and see if the release of stress and anxiety helps any. If it doesn't, go get a physical. It sounds like your equilibrium is off or you could have low blood pressure.
There are some sort of brain problem that worry me,and it maybe the same for you. If it is,then be sure you have it check.
If you've already been to your dr...I think I would find another dr. and get a second opinion. I know how it feels to have stress thinking about having stress. I have PTSD AND PANIC ATTACKS...but I haven't noticed anything about my pupils changing...or bad equilibrium..I think you need an MRI or at least go to a specialist.I don't have nausea either. I have PTSD because of being under too much stress and because of something bad that happened to me. I doubt you 've had THAT much stress yet..being only 20.But, don't let this ruin the rest of your life. Keep going to dr.s till you find out what's wrong. Just because your dr. has a degree etc. doesn't mean he knows EVERYTHING. I know that's what we want to believe..that they do..but that's why there are specialists. I don't know why he hasn't referred you to one. There's a tv show ..Medical Diagnosis or Strange Diagnosis or something like that...where people go to dr.s and he/she can't find out what 's wrong and they keep going to other dr.s...and FINALLY they find out the problem. I really like it. It saves you from having to do all that..if you have the same symptoms they had. I think there are 2 shows like that. ..maybe on the History channel..IDK..Good luck!
EDIT...What Jennifer said about low blood pressure sound possible.
well if u have a tendency to veer to left i.e. unidirectional fall or loss of balance i think u need a proper checkup ....to rule out other sinister causes, at ur age though its least likely but then whats the harm in getting an expert opinion??
