Am I crazy?!


Question:

Am I crazy?

Maybe I'm hallucinating, but for as long as I can remember, I've seen flashing patterns of "static" along with "floaters" and what looks like flecks of snow falling across my vision. It never stops, and it is getting worse and worse over these few months. Along with that, every now and then this ringing in my ears starts and drives me insane. Also, sometimes (when I'm lying down, walking, standing up, whatever!) I suddenly feel light headed and like I'm falling. And usually when this happens the static fills my WHOLE vision (like thats all I see) and then when it clears it looks like everything is falling towards me. I have never taken drugs or drank, I'm a teenager, I'm a vegetarian, and I suffer from ADHD and an anxiety disorder. What's wrong with me?

I saw an opthamalogist and he said my eyes were perfect and it was probably nuerological.


Answers:

You are not crazy.

Occasional floaters are normal. However, you should go to an opthamologist and tell them about your concerns with your eyes. Your entire field of vision should never be getting clouded. Also, ringing of the ears is normal, but it can also be a sign of hearing loss. Lightheadedness/dizziness can also be a sign of hearing loss.

Maybe it would be best to go see a general doctor to get a physical exam, and tell the doctor what is wrong. If you don't eat enough food (or maybe since you are a vegetarian, if you aren't getting enough of all the nutrients) or if you are taking any medication for your anxiety or ADHD, that might explain some of the problem, but you should still go to the doctor just in case, and to find out what the problem is. The doctor might refer you to a specialist. And then go see the opthamologist.
