I think I have been suffering from anxiety
for about 6 months now. It all started
with a heart palpitation that ended up
being nothing. I have had weird symptoms
over the past months, but doctor sees
nothing abnormal.(fyi I am a 20 year old
female) last week my pupil dilated very
oddly and wasn't a normal shape. Doctor
recommended seeing an opthalmologist and
he could see nothing for concern. Ever
since then, I have had a terrible head
ache that comes and goes during the day.
Stress?? Anxiety?? I can't get the
fear that it might a brain tumor out of my
head. Has anyone else ever experienced
something like this? Also, I do not want
to take meds for anxiety relief, but it is
really getting to me. Any other
suggestion for relief? Thank you!

Just wondering...Did the doctor do any
scans or anything to check it out? Have
you had problems with your eyes before?

I have never had any problems with my eyes
before... Perfect eyesight.... In fact,
I am a pilot which requires at least
20/20. The wierd pupil thing didn't seem
to affect my vision at all, just felt and
looked really weird. The opthalmologist
did a complete eye exam, but I am not sure
exactly what he did. I have been having
a lot of muscle twitches lately as
well.... Wonder if it could be related?
Thanks a lot... :)

Hi there,
i`ve had very similar symptoms and it was
realted to two different things. Firstly
my headaches it was partly my anxiety but
I also had a bad viral infection which
started it all. The anxiety made my head
pound so badly as I was holding all the
tension in my neck and shoulders. My
pupils were funny shapes and one was much
wider than the other, I was told this
could be the virus so I had it checked out
with an eye test. I was told I had
astigmatism which is your people instead
of being round was shaped like a rugby
ball and also I had adies syndrome where
my pupils are slow to react to light and
sometimes my pupils look like they have
taken over my whole eye. It` s not sore
or bad in anyway just annoying in bright
light.
I did have scans done also which ruled out
anything major, it might put your mind at
ease. ( I don`t wear glasses either)

I also had a bad viral infection at the
base of my head near my spinal cord. It
caused excruciating headaches that felt as
if my head was literally going to explode.
This then lead to the fear that I had
something more serious which caused all of
my anxiety. Im now left with the tension
in the head and neck and a pounding
headache that I have all day, everyday.

Hi. I have done some research in the past,
and the weird shaped pupil you have
claimed has came up in the brain aneurism
category. Than again it could be anything.
hope you feel better!
