If you were looking at 3-4 weeks of eye twitching/spasms, 1+ week of constant headaches, and a day of hallucinations/visual mixups, would you seek medical assistance?
Let me start by saying, the hallucinations aren't as bad as you may be thinking. I had a night where within seconds of falling asleep, I was in a dream/awake state where I was hearing a loud, sucking noise coming from my hallway, and could feel myself being pulled into the noise, causing me to make myself wake up out of fear, pretty much every ten minutes for about 4 hours, but I couldn't help but keep falling asleep, and continuing the process, as I was very tired, and had to be up in a few hours. The other occasion was the next day, when I was driving. I thought I saw a car swerve into my lane in front of me, so I swerved to get out of the way. But, it didn't really happen, as Tyler was in the car and assured me as such. It hasn't happened since. I don't even know if these are truly hallucinations, as the sleep thing could just be chalked up to my fucked up sleep habits, and the car swerving could have been my eye twitching, making it appear as if the car swerved. Although, I haven't noticed anything else move unexpectedly in 3 and a half weeks of eye twitching..I don't know.
I just feel like a nutjob going to the doctor for eye twitches. But then again, my mom told me I was imagining things once when I told her my body was moving by itself, and it turned out it was, as a reaction to an anti-vomit medication, and I was practically a cripple by the time we reached the hospital.
I made the mistake of searching online for possible causes, which I ALWAYS do when I don't recognize a symptom, but I've been plagued with eye twitching a lot lately, just not this long, and I wanted to research it to make sure I wasn't crazy before going to a doctor.
Immediately after searching it, the easy solutions were sleep, stress reducing, vitamins. So, I slept 14 hours, assessed my stress situation, drank a bunch of v8. No relief.
Maybe I'm stressed, but I don't feel like I'm under more stress than I have dealt with in the past.
I've been massaging my eye. No relief.
I sincerely feel like I am going crazy.
