Hi, thank you for sharing your concerns. It sounds like you have been experiencing a significant amount of anxiety and health-related worry, and this seems to be affecting your daily life, social activities and ability to feel relaxed. The fact that you feel much better when you are sleeping or when there is no responsibility or pressure may suggest that anxiety and stress are contributing to the symptoms.
However, because you are experiencing recurrent headaches, dizziness and blurred vision, I would recommend getting a medical evaluation rather than assuming that all the symptoms are due to anxiety. Please consult a physician/GP, and an eye examination may also be appropriate, particularly if the blurred vision is recurring. Headache accompanied by vision changes or persistent dizziness warrants medical assessment.
Once medical causes have been appropriately ruled out, CBT-based counselling can be very helpful for health anxiety and excessive worry.

What you’re describing sounds like a strong anxiety–overthinking cycle. The fact that the symptoms become much better when you are relaxed or have no responsibilities is an important clue that stress may be contributing significantly. When you anticipate going out, meeting people, or managing responsibilities, your mind may start predicting “what if I feel unwell?” which can increase physical sensations such as heaviness in the head, dizziness, headaches and eye strain, which then create more worry.
Next Steps
From a psychological perspective, therapy can help you break the cycle of anticipatory anxiety, health-related worry, avoidance and constant monitoring of bodily sensations. If this is significantly affecting your daily life, you can book a session with me and we can assess what is maintaining this pattern and work on it step-by-step rather than trying to manage each symptom individually.
Health Tips
You don’t need to wait until the anxiety becomes “severe” to seek help. If you notice sudden severe headache, significant vision changes, fainting, weakness/numbness, difficulty speaking, chest pain, or other acute concerning symptoms, seek urgent medical care rather than assuming it is anxiety.

Hi... You're processing something continuously in your subconscious and unconscious mind. You may not be aware of it, but it is troubling you thoroughly and making you feel this way all the time. Your fear and anxiety regarding health is a combination of psychosomatic issues along with your genuine health concerns. You need to address both, your physical as well as mental health concerns. Headache, dizziness, exhaustion, blurry eyes, heaviness in head are all psychosomatic symptoms. You need CBT to address them and bring your mind into order. You need a safe space to streamline your thoughts and emotions and channelize this energy in building yourself a happier and healthier life.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
CBT along with Lifestyle Changes and Interpersonal Guidance and Counselling is required.

I’m sorry you’re going through such difficulties; it sounds exhausting. Health worries and overthinking can create a cycle where anxiety increases physical symptoms like headaches, dizziness, heaviness and difficulty concentrating, which then increases worry further.
Since you’re experiencing headaches and blurred vision, it’s important to rule out any physical causes with a doctor, especially if these symptoms are new or persistent.
You may contact a clinical psychologist who can help you understand what is maintaining the anxiety and gradually regain confidence in daily life. There are therapies like CBT to address anxiety, which can be very effective in breaking the cycle of health anxiety, excessive worrying, avoidance and fear of being alone.
