My life is in shambles

Is it in any way possible that a REALLY bad anxiety attack could be causing all of these problems? minus the nausea? 

i believe i forgot to tell you something, yes...yes i did! 

when i was first getting sick, (and i mean the first three days) my dad had to rush me to the ER. i was sorta okay when i got in the truck but 30 minutes down the road i had the worst anxiety attack ive ever had. I couldn't breathe at all, i felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest. i got SUPER tunnel vision almost to the point of blacking out, my whole body started cramping up...i couldn't move my hands, they clamped together in sort of a triangle shape and i was struggling just to open my phone. i was able to dial my mom and she said when she heared my voice she thought i was drunk or was on drugs, not me sobbing but my voice had....changed yah know....and i know this may sound REALLY silly but the reason i realized this is because my dad had changed the lightbulb in my bathroom to one of those white energy saving bulbs and i woke up this morning, went into my bathroom and turned on the lights and the light made me look extremely pale...i started to get lightheaded and heavy chested like you said...then after i realized it was the light i friggin felt better after words (i think im borderline hypercondriact)...wth!...... and i noticed that the symtoms i originally went to the ER for are completely gone (extreme lightheadedness).....plus i have been under some stress with thins whole being sick stuff (when i got off my first round of Anti-biotics i had a relapse and the symtoms came back bigger than s**t and i got really worried then too and almost had an anxiety attack in the middle of my ROTC class)....could anxiety be the case now that i proved more info? i cant believe i forgot to tell you this (I also went through a rough break-up at the time of all this starting. like a couple days before!)

"Ah man, you guys are really helpful. Carrie, you have reassured me quite a bit in the fact that I'm not alone dealing with all this stuff.

I really hate the nausea every morning. It's like I just wake up thinking "Am I nauseous today?", and bam, I'm nauseous. I know that my symptoms can't possibly be caused by a single sickness (apart from anxiety). For example, there is no single disease that can cause lightheadedness, nausea, and sore aching bones and muscles, numbness in the hands, head pressure, fatigue, all at the same time. At least not this quickly. Plus, it all started with lightheadedness. All the other things came after. So I try to tell myself that if it weren't for the lightheadedness, the other things would never have happened. But it's so hard to convince myself of that when I keep getting new symptoms to this day.

I mean, why am I nauseous all of a sudden after a month? I'm much less freaked out about this whole thing now than I was at first. Why wasn't I nauseous when my emotions were at their worst? It's things like that that keep me from shaking the thought that I may have some type of degenerative disease or cancer or something. I keep thinking, "What's it gonna be next?". I examine my stools like some kind of freak looking for blood and stuff. Yet, I know that those cancers are very rare in people under the age of 45. My mind is really all over the place. I just want to shut it off, but it's difficult when doctors don't do anything apart from telling you to see a shrink...

So that's exactly what I did. I found a place nearby called the "Montreal Anxiety Clinic". They specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I've heard that it has helped a great deal of people on these boards, so I'm going to at least give it a try. I'll do anything to be my old happy, energetic self again. They're supposed to confirm an appointment this week, or next week at the latest. I'll let you know how it goes.
