I'm SO sick of this!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so very sick of this. I have this extremely bad fear of having a stroke all because i get migraine auras that mimic them. When i get the migraine aura it feels like a stroke and it terrifies me. I have had them sense i was 11 and i am 22 now. I am so sick of this. I feel so confused from all the stress i am under over having a stroke or that i had a possible stroke. I had a CT SCAN back in April for the migraine aura symptoms because they mimicked strokes, and my brain was perfectly healthy looking. I feel very mentally confused. I don't know what to do about it. It scares me so much. And the fact that confusion is a stroke symptom scares me even more. My vision is also very odd, and i feel like im looking through a tunnel all the time. I have been very angry because i cant get rid of this stroke fear/obsession. My body is even experiencing stroke like symptoms even when im not having a migraineaura because of it. Like my left arm and wrist lock up and it feels like im having a hard time moving them, and then my left ankle will do the same thing. My right hand and arm are really heavy feeling and weird. My face is numb on the left side and sometimes tingly and sometimes even my right side of my face does that to. Im lost. My memory is so foggy and weird. I feel like i cant remember ANYTHING even though i can, and i cant concentrate on anything. I feel like im in a fog...a dense one. I keep feeling like i cant talk even while im talking and its making me anxious. I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired. I am sick of this stroke fear/obsession. I dont even know what to do anymore,. I am going to end up getting another one of those migraine auras (had one a week and a half ago) and the stroke obsession is just going to end up getting worse, (if that can even happen, i sure hope not). This is terrible. I am at my wits end. I am only 22 years old and sit around all day thinking about having a massive stroke...I dont go out. I only leave the house once a week for therapy and thats hard enough. I dont really have the risk factors for having a stroke, seeing as im not over 50 years old, i dont smoke or drink, no high blood pressure, not obese, not taking birth control pills,not on drugs, nothing like that... but im still extremely terrified.. I dont know what to do :((((((((((
