Sorry but brain fog may not cause these symptoms but anxiety definitely does!! While I don’t know if this guy’s issues are anxiety or a medical condition, telling him anxiety doesn’t cause these symptoms is really unhelpful for his future recovery should he come back with a physically clean bill of health.

I relate to this as well I also keep blaming my hypertension or other things and I have a small surgery coming up soon nervous and I work I’m young as can be and am a father I just have these things going on and I have depression and anxiety and it’s way out of control just last week started taking Prozac again and I’m all out of order I feel fake as if I’m in a dream state of mind at times and my anxiety is not as much as it was but still there when it hits it hits hard and all but I relate to a lot of this any advice because sometimes I feel as if I’m literally going crazy but I’m not

Does anyone also feel speech problem due to brain fog

Oh Kim, I’m so sorry to learn about your son. While there may be some underlying anxiety that the nicotine was helping, it may be that his brain fog isn’t just anxiety related, but instead potentially a medical issue. Anxiety brain fog tends not to cause blurred vision, ringing ears, or vertigo in my experience, but that would be for a physician to confirm. If he isn’t already, I would suggest he work with his physician to work toward symptom relief. There are excellent treatments for vertigo. By way of anxiety, there are likewise many helpful strategies to use, many of which I write about and recommend in my practice.
Best of luck to you and your son,
Alicia
