Hello, this is what is called an Opthalmic migraine. Harmless but scary. My eye doctor said they are becoming more common. This will cause squigglys and aura's. They are often called the painless migraine.

Opthalmic migraine

Hi newby here. I have had that too, Opthalmic migraine. But I would have a physical w/ ur dr, and keep a journal/history of your medical symptoms. I had oral/ genital ulcers, long story short, the obgyn said, herpes, the treatment did not help, I was fatigued, went to a few specialists, and finally diagnosed with Behcets. It also has eye involvment too. Keep lots of notes, and don't be intimidated by Drs. Keep bugging them, and find a general dr to coordinate with all the specialists. General Practice, or Internal med.
I hope you find out what it is over time.

Do you mean to say you think this is NOT anxiety?

Just wondering if your vibrating in your chest stopped? My son currently experiences vibrating in his stomach and chest area. He also has neuropathy, tingling in his lower extremities, he says it feels like water dripping from the top of his head and down his back which actually is chills. His vision is distorted with scribbles and like snow on a tv. He has constant ringing in his ears. He however, was poisoned with pesticides from ant and spider spray. He has lots of anxiety from all of this. He had to give up a 6 yr full paid scholorship at UCSB in Santa Barbra,CA for his PHD due to these symtoms and his continual brain fog. If anyone else has ever experienced this please let me know. He will not take any meds from doctors thouh, he has sent his hair off for analysis and is treating himself thru diet, meditation, vitamins recommended thru his hair analysis. This is a tragedy. He scored in the top 6% in the U.S. on his GRE. He is brilliant..Any help would be appreciated...Thx! DL

I have had eye symptoms that are alot like this. Static on the TV like constant fuzzies, after images and VERY sensitive to lights... like they look dim or my eyes are being strained. I have had many tests done and all docs say it MUST be anxiety so here i am.... panic is better but visual symptoms are not.... I am available for any questions as i believe stongly in no medication and all mind power! when im involved in something very distracting I also dont really notice the symptoms so I think it goes along with obsessive worrying
