Back in March I was traumatized by a scary Youtube video, and I really don't want to go into the nature of it. At the moment of trauma I felt a sharp pain hit me somewhere in the center of my head. It was a really awful and indescribable feeling, and I remember having to look away from my phone screen. In the past 6 months, I have become super sensitive to noises (especially unanticipated kinds), and also sensitive to bright lights on a screen. My sensitivity has affected my life pretty drastically, and it really irritates my parents when I ask them to accommodate it. I can't help it

Today I did some research on nerves, and I believe I might have pinched a nerve located somewhere near or in my brain, and I'm starting to feel anxious about it because I read that depending on the area of nerve, I could become paralyzed over time.

One major thing I have noticed, is that it is often hard for me to turn my head very quickly. I have to do it a lot more slowly than I used to. I would never be able to become part of a heavy metal group because the headbanging would be way too hard on me.

In the past week, I've been experiencing muscle tension in my head. Monday and Tuesday I woke up with racing heart rate, numb face, and I fell into a panic attack because I was having muscle spasms in my head. I thought it was related to a tooth infection I recently had pulled out, and that still might have been the problem because I seem to have calmed down since. However, I still keep thinking about the sharp pain I experienced from the shock of that video.

I had a CT head scan done when I had went to the hospital in July for my 1st panic attack, and everything had checked out okay.

I don't feel like I need a psychiatrist anymore, I think I need a neurologist to check me out. Could I be onto something, could I be on the right path? If so, I probably won't be able to schedule anything for at least a month.
