Why do I get sudden attacks of blurred vision and sweating?
Patient: For a while now I have been experiencing strange symptoms in certain situations. If i am injured (no matter how minor), if I see someone else injured (no matter how minor) or if I visit someone in hospital after they have had surgery I go into these phases where I begin to lose vision, it becomes narrow and blurry and then goes white, i then get extremely hot and sweaty and my face goes grey. In most instances my vision goes completely white and I am blinded and I usually lose any strength in my legs and fall over. After a short while of sitting down and putting water on myself it tends to pass. Is this some kind of anxiety attack or is it something more? Doctor: It is most probably an anxiety attack, something like phobia. But you must get your blood pressure and blood sugar checked immediately.
