>> For a week after my legs felt really weak and I had this blind spot in my left eye that finally went away.

Get that checked out despite my following comments. I’m in no way recommending you self-medicate. But...

Sounds like migraine symptoms which could be related to the combination of stress/relief. The migraines can also exhaust you. And important to know the difference between a migraine and a headache.

I’m a life-long migraine sufferer. Had them since I was child, and they were really bad. I rarely get headaches, and rarely take OTC for headaches. But when I have an emerging migraine, I’ll take one or two Aleve (OTC naproxin). Symptoms usually gone within 20-30 minutes, but not uncommon to feel fatigued for the remainder of the day.

I could use a refresher on the nature of migraines, but I recall hearing about constricted blood capillaries, some mentioned strokes prolly because of the similar symptoms. Regardless, get it checked out especially since this is new for you.

Ha wow, I take Aleve all the time. Yeah this is not normal for me, and I get sharp pains near or on my temples and it freaks me out, because I don’t know if I’m having a potential aneurysm or what. My dad has a history of that, they caught one in his brain around 10 years ago before it popped and sealed it up by leading a wire through an artery starting in his leg if you can believe it all the way up to his brain.
