First off I would recommend her getting a doctor exam and eye doctor exam. Although anxiety can manifest in many ways, it is usually common practice to rule out other causes of problems before simply blaming her ailments on anxiety. Then if everything checks out ok, then consider treatment for anxiety. Anxiety is a disorder, and can be relieved through treatment by a therapist trained in anxiety disorder, medication can also be used, but it doesn’t help get to the root life problems causing the anxiety.

Anxiety can manifest in so many ways. Having anxiety flare up surrounding a major life event like moving is very common. Mine causes me to constantly scan my body and look for things that are off. When you are scanning and anxious you will always find something! What my doctors have told me (of course after you rule out that it isn’t something serious) is that accepting that it’s anxiety and that it can’t hurt you can help. Have your wife read about anxiety, or read about it to her. Having her understand all the symptoms it can cause will maybe ease the concern that it isn’t something more serious. Have her Google celebrities that have anxiety and let her read about some of their experiences (something a little less serious then just googling symptoms). There are so many people who suffer from this. Realizing she isn’t alone and understanding why and what it is can take some of the fear out of the equation. Sending her calming vibes as you navigate your move. That’s enough to give anyone anxiety!

When a major life event happens, anxiety is a helper.

The physical symptoms being suggested as 'anxiety' may be due to the way they are presenting to the medical team.

In order to get physical medical evaluation done properly, reset the way the symptoms are presented - time, date, place, and circumstances for physical symptoms.

Best wishes.

A person can have more than one problem at a time. She could be having medical physical problems and an increase in anxiety. It doesn’t need to be one or the other. I think anxiety naturally increases when we have health issues and no simple explanation
Personally I’ve been having dental problems. And my anxiety increased quite a bit during this time.
For me it’s the unanswered questions that make me so anxious
It can be really hard to know what is what so I just look it as having health issues and anxiety. Physical and mental go hand in hand. What came first?! Doesn’t matter much

I wanted to add I hope she’s feeling better and gets some answers anti- depressants are also prescribed for patients with pain. They have more than one thing they treat. Many people without depression take them for pain management. So if she’s in pain. This might be a reason she was prescribed them
Whatever is wrong. She needs to. Be believed and not doubted. Hope you both find some relief soon

Could it be a nutrition problem?

Thanks very much for the advice everyone. This is a nice supportive group.

She has presented herself to several doctors including an eye doctor who seem relatively unconcerned. However, she has a close friend who upon hearing her complaint says, this sounds extremely serious, you need to get a better doctor who will pay attention to this,

She is on an anti-depressant but this is her second drug and she does not always follow the doctor's recommended schedule. She is undergoing some therapy but has been slow to this and tends to understate her problems and concerns to any therapist.

Interestingly, she got a little heavier in the past 5 years and then lost the weight over the past 3 months, and now has a very nice figure, but gets annoyed when I mention that.

It is a great idea for her to get tests done on her eyes, and other tests done, If they come back normal, then I would think it is a psychological problem. Here is an example, someone told me about a lady who claims she could not see; they did tests on her eyes to see why she was having the problem. After tests were done, they could not find any reason why she was having problems with her vision.

Anxiety is a really tough situation for a person to have to go through.
