It's funny how the medical field goes strictly by the book,without thinking outside the box. I suffered for 2 years with memory loss, fatigue, shortness of breath, numbness, etc. I saw a pulmonologist, cardiologist, neurologist, had a sleep disorder study and all that was given were more prescriptions. I finally found out there was black mold hidden in my house. Once it was cleared I improved completely. Don't give up looking. You never know where the answer lies but you must be your own advocate to find the solution.
Have you been checked for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). Many doctors mistake this for anxiety? I suggest googling this to understand more about it, and to help you locate a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating POTS. I am praying you find relief.
I have been like that for the last 10 months. I been to so many doctors and no results as of yet. I have lost the last 10 months of my life and I am not giving up. There must be a doctor out there somewhere that can help..
What did you do about it??? Did it work?
hi there, I wondered if anyone could help as I am getting no where fast with my doctor .. I went to bed one night and couldn't swallow (breathing was fine) i then panicked so I had tingles down my arm etc but the doc said both we're down to anxiety, I've had it since but I've controlled it but I keep getting other sensations so I'm worried there's something more sinister going on !!
I seem to have a few good days and then it just hits me ..
* I feel heavy like my legs are weighed down, I have moments where my body just feels so peculiar and I can't describe the feeling ! my head wanders .. it almost feels like it swims, my concentration and memory is awful, I feel achey, weak, lethargic, I get a twitch in my finger and sometime a numb sensation in my left hand .. it almost feels like my body cramps, paralyses and then its ok (it last seconds when that happens so its very quick but its not pleasant) i get sweats and hand tremors (although that's inherited from my dad) my sleep is appalling so I rely on tablets.
I had two weeks of feeling aweful, now ive had two good weeks where ive ate better and exercised and then today I feel horrible again, i go away soon and I'm dreading it in case I'm poorly (as its just me and my daughter) I did have a hectic weekend but all in all i'm not worried about anything or anxious (just about my symptoms when they occur)
i've considered MS, ME, MND, parkinsons but the doctor wont even entertain it so ive had no checks done !
its sometimes worst if i've overdone or when I think about it but my doc just listens and sends me home, im quite socially, I work, im happy .. I just want to feel normal again as it is holding me back in places .. im 35 and otherwise reasonably healthy !
I wake up with this burning sensation in my head tingling like I woke up to fast it's really scary and I'm not sure if it anxiety, but for the last past week or so I've been having this pressure in my head that has scared me also, unfortunately I was diagnosed with hsv "herpes" about 2 months ago and I've been depressed every since. I couldn't sleep, my sleeping was off, i was thinking the worst, I wasn't eating I lost my appetite,I experienced hypoventilation breathing, numbness in legs arms everything, skin burning sensation, I kept thinking even after getting my results that the clinic was going to call me and say I had something else which created negative thoughts everyday, I woke up every time the phone rang I was scared and for about 2 weeks now I've been having this weird head pressure in my head and I've been thinking could it be something else or worst. about 3 years ago I had a panic attack and thought I was having a stroke and when going to the doctor they said I had Tia which is a mini stoke after keeping me in the hospital for a few days they came back and told me that I had MS, I argue with them and told them this was Impossible because up until that point I've never had any problem like that I went to get a second opinion from a neurologist doctor and I was going back in forth taking MRI every 3 months and they said that it was lesions that they saw but that it may not be MS, so I continue to got every 3 months no symptoms was feeling fine and when I found out about the hsv herpes august 23rd 2014 I fell into a deep depression didn't eat for a week I searched for everything and it seem like every time I enter a query I had it symptoms that worried me and I began this weird feeling in my head I started thinking the worst like what if it was HIV I started worrying even though the clinic told me my results and only said I had herpes I've became worried thinking it was more I stated to have this head feeling thinking about death and every thought was bad my sleep was off and that's when I wake up with this burning sensation in my head tingling like I woke up to fast it's really scary and I'm not sure if it anxiety but for the last past week or so I've been having this pressure in my head that lingered for days that made me feel off balanced that has scared me so I trying to figure if this all from anxiety am I suffering from anxiety PLeASE HELP ME Becuase I'm scared to scared to go to the doctor and thy tell me it's something worst is this anxiety does this sound like anxiety
Oh my God, I feel the same way but it has gotten worse in just the past two weeks, but no pain in stomach or chest. Had eco and ultra sound. I am 57 and it showed some plaque in carotid artery and some thickening in heart muscle (but told it was normal for my age, as a smoker and overweight by 50 lbs). I am a female. This is awful...going for a stress test but it has taken over me and make it difficult to go to work (but I have gone). Anxiety follows, which I have not had since my 20's.
