Hello! I'm new here. 23yo f. I've had extreme health anxiety lately because of some scary symptoms I've been having. The main one being muscle twitching spasming in different parts of my body for long periods of time(each section lasts about a week, goes away and a different area takes its place. So far my foot, knee, rib cage, under my eye and now the current place is in my arm going into my thumb) I also have joint/nerve pain, severe headaches on and off and my feet have been acting strange with bruising, being overly sensitive, etc. I have a great neurologist and I just recently had a lot of tests done between him and my hospital visits.
I've had:
Multiple CBCs
A CT scan of my head
2 chest X-rays
A neck X-ray
A back X-ray
An EEG
An EMG
An EKG
Sent away for Lyme titers
A carotid ultrasound
A kidney ultrasound
I go for a brain MRI on Thursday just to make sure the CT scan didn't miss anything.
So for everything has come back clear besides being told previous Epstein Barr has reoccurred. I have a follow up next week to talk over the eeg, emg, another round of bloodwork and carotid ultrasound but he told me if he saw anything scary and threatening he would contact me before then. So I'm hoping this is a good sign.
2 nights ago I got Globus sensation in my throat, at least that's what I think it is. Feels like something is stuck in my throat. I have been diagnosed with GERD when I was a teen. It hasn't left since and has only gotten worse, sending me to the ER this morning having difficulty breathing. (That's when they did the neck and 2nd chest X-ray) They told me to follow up with a primary and gastro and told me those X-rays were clear.
I'm still extremely scared something is really wrong. I keep thinking the worst and it's making my symptoms worse and I feel like my senses are hightend because of the anxiety. I don't know what to do and I'm just so anxious and overwhelmed:(
