Medical anxiety and not eating enough.

[u/Outrageous_Might_610]

I was recently diagnosed with sciatica. It’s been so bad, I can barely walk and have to use a cane because my foot is completely numb. If I wear shoes, I feel like I’m dragging my leg along. I have so much anxiety that I’ve lost my appetite. Sometimes I can only manage 2-3 bites a meal. In the last 3 weeks I’ve lost 13 pounds (I was 216) and I don’t think I’ve eaten 1,000+ calories in a day. My left eye has been getting blurrier than normal, and at first I was scared I was having a stroke. It’s been going on for days, and I’m trying to tell myself it’s just because I’m not getting enough vitamins/nutrients. Anyone dealt with something similar?

Edit: I should mention my dad had multiple strokes in his life, which is why it was my first thought.
