I have some mild health anxiety and I’ll be the first to admit it but I’m usually able to control it very well until rather recently (past month or so). I additionally have a big move coming up that has me stressed to the max.

I’ve always had a history of anxiety surrounding my migraines but haven’t had a typical migraine in almost a year. I did contact my neuro again though due to vertigo/dizziness, nausea, blurry vision, and tinnitus. I was found to have weak nystagmus in the dark upon positional testing but the specialist said she wasn’t concerned. Saw an optometrist and my eyes were perfect aside from just a bit of an astigmatism+farsightedness and I’m now wearing glasses. Clean MRI two years ago. The tinnitus is now pretty constant but otherwise, everything is the same as before. 

Not going to lie, all of this on top of not having any answers has made this some of the worst few months for my mental health. I have an appointment set up with my neuro for the end of next month but then I’m supposed to pack up and leave the country soon after which just makes it all that much more stressful. 

I’m not here to ask for a diagnosis as I still plan to see my neuro but I would like to know if these things really can be caused by stress or anxiety? I’m trying my best to convince myself that all of this is relatively normal and could really just be anxiety/stress-induced for the meantime but it’s easier said than done and I’m tired of feeling so miserable ):
