Suggest Treatment For Blurred Vision, Headaches, Jerking Muscles, Anxiety And Depression
Question: Ive had a lot of symptoms appear over the last two months. Blurred vision, headaches, jerking muscles, higher anxiety and depression, shaky hands and numbness in hands and feet. Any suggestions?
Brief Answer:
Smptoms seemed to be related to anxiety.. Need further information....
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing through HCM.
If you are not having any chronic medical illness like Hypertension, diabetes, hypothyroidism then these symptoms are because of increased anxiety and depression only.
If these are related to particular stress or untoward event then you have to learn how to deal with stress.
I just want to know Have you ever taken any drugs for these? Have you visited a physician and got checked your BP? Have you ever got investigated? Have you ever visited a gynecologist for possible menopause? Are you getting your periods?
Your age is 44 years, at this age most of the woman experience menopause, so these all symptoms may be part of it, if there is no stress.
Revert back to me with answers to the questions and read about menopause on the internet and tell me that your symptoms match with that or not? menopause can cause all these symptoms as well as anxiety and depression.
Hope I have answered your query. I am waiting for reply.
Wish you good health.

Brief Answer:
Things complicated now
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing again.
If you are on psychotropic drugs particularly antipsychotics then the symptoms of shaky hands, blurred vision, numbness as well as anxiety can be because of the drugs. But if you are taking the drugs for very long and symptoms have appeared recently then it may be because of the increase in the dose of antipsychotic drugs.
For what purpose you had depo shot?
So here are the possibilities: Symptoms may be because of
1. Anxiety itself
2. Menopause
3. Side effect of the drugs you are taking
Visit your prescribing psychiatrist and tell about the symptoms and discuss the possibilities. Follow the advice.
Hope I have answered your query. If you do not have further query then close the discussion and rate the answer.
Wish you good health.
