Hi everyone. I’m posting because I’ve been struggling with strange physical and neurological symptoms ever since I had a miscarriage 2 years ago, and I’m wondering if anyone has experienced something similar.
It was a 3-month miscarriage without medical assistance or medication. The day after it happened, I woke up in complete panic because I felt like my brain wasn’t getting enough air or oxygen. It’s hard to describe, but it felt terrifying and unnatural.
During the beginning of the miscarriage, I could barely eat. My heart was pounding very hard all the time, and I had strange sensations where my head felt like it was falling or pulling forward and backward. That part has improved over time, but other symptoms never truly went away.
Since then, I constantly feel dizzy and disconnected, like I’m not fully present in reality. My vision feels strange all day long, not blurry exactly, but ""off"" hypersensitive, unreal, almost like my brain processes visual information differently now. Supermarkets, lights, movement, and crowded places make it worse.
I also constantly feel like I’m about to faint, even though I never actually lose consciousness. My body feels permanently stuck in a state of instability and alarm, like something bad is about to happen physically at any moment
.
Other symptoms:
\- head pressure and strange pains
\- derealization/dissociation
\- chronic anxiety and hypervigilance
\- weakness and fatigue
\- sensitivity to movement and visual stimulation
\- feeling physically unsafe all the time
\- Another strange thing: when I was pregnant, my feet were constantly ice cold.
I also take Solian (amisulpride) 50 mg at night and Temesta (lorazepam) before sleeping.
Before the miscarriage, I was anxious, but I did not live like this. Ever since that event, it feels like my nervous system completely changed.
Has anyone experienced long-term symptoms like this after a miscarriage, severe trauma, PPPD, vestibular disorders, panic attacks, or chronic anxiety? Especially the constant strange vision, dizziness, and feeling like you’re going to faint without actually fainting?
I’d really appreciate hearing from people who relate to this, because I feel very alone with it.
P.S. I moved to France in September, and I’m currently struggling to obtain healthcare rights and administrative coverage. I’m still waiting after months, so at the moment I unfortunately don’t really have access to a doctor or proper medical follow-up.
I know I made a 6 year post last year and I hate to be repetitive on this subreddit like I am on others. I just feel like even in the past year my face has improved a lot and I also just once again wanted to brag on the miracle that is recell treatment.
A small crochet hook fell off of my bed and landed at an angle hook side up on a book that was sitting next to my bedside, I managed to step/trip on it in the most perfect way. Should’ve bit a towel and popped it out myself for the price of the bill lmao. Not very graphic but put NSFW just to be safe. Super cool Xray though! Scribbled out medical info and identifying tattoos. Last pic is how we got it held in place on the way to the ER to keep it from flopping around, kudos to my dad for that!
