Hello @outlander
Feeling for you.
I don't know if this will help, but as far as I know, all of your senses are perceptional events, which to me means that your brain takes in everything around you and within you and perceives (figures out?) what is going on. It then sends chemicals back out into your body. I found this helped understand how a person might see something or hear something that wasn't there, or even visa versa. Stress is real, your brain perceives that and it causes real physical reactions. There may not be a lot your Doctors can do, though I imagine if your symtoms persist (and I think it's important to tell them each visit) they might look at other possibilities or try different medications. (Though I've never had any success with medications myself, except for sleep assist ones, which they won't give me and you may find they won't give to you, as those medications can sometimes be abused and even dangerous). You are the best hope for you feeling better, you may not be able to avoid the stress, but never give up trying to lessen it - I believe less stress will make you feel much better. Easier said than done, but keep trying, for your sake.
