TV & lights affecting my brain? Panic Attack? Posted: 05-01-07 06:42am
I've explained this to many doctors since
my condition became worse 3 years ago
about the light from televisions altering
my brain in some way.I cant get a decent
nights sleep as i either am suddenly
awakened feeling as if im going to pass
out with my brain as though its detached
from my body(hard to explain sensation
really).I can have multiple episodes in
one night.This (feeling) leads to my heart
pounding out my ears.While asleep
sometimes i vcan see my brain constantly
processing (matrix like) reems of
numbers(this while rare can last the
duration of what sees the whole
night,hijacking my brain and senses).Ive
had a 2 minute heat monitor but i sense
its more to do with my brain.These
episodes co-incided with my anxiety
getting worse but remain unresolved even
though i have mentioned it.The doctor that
i regulry seen said he was going to get a
electrical brain scan done but has since
left.I dread going to bed as i fear im
going to die.Can you help?

According to the symptoms you report, you
might be experiencing panic attacks. A
panic attack is a kind of neurotic
disorder wherein a patient, on some
occasions, becomes so anxious and
frightened that something bad will happen
that the anxiety manifests physically. You
can ask for an expert opinion from a
mental health doctor.
