Let me take some type to describe what has been going on with me lately, as I am concerned about it, and after being through so many doctors in the last 2 years im not sure what to do.
1. Dizzyness. I have had a dizzyness that has not eased up in the last year, if anything has only gotten worse. Sometimes it is more of a lack of balance than a dizzyness. Most times I dont notice it, but sometimes its a huge annoyance.
2. Shakyness. This is something I've mainly noticed in the last month. I am feeling somewhat shaky. It isnt all the time, but I noticed it 2 weeks ago as just a very slight shake, it was invisible from the outside and I had my mom feel me to see if I was shaking and she couldn't feel it. It actually got a bit worse last night, but only lasted a couple minutes. I know I have shaken when I got panic attacks but this doesnt exactly feel like that. It feels like..the best I can describe it is like 1/3rd of a shiver, and you can't see it from the outside. Not a bad shake by any means but enough for me to notice. I have also been under an excessive amount of stress and anxiety lately.
3. Weight loss. About 4, maybe 5 months ago I weighed about 194. Which is where I had been for about 2 years. There was always a couple pounds plus or minus, but around that number. I currently weigh 180.4 pounds. I have not really increased the amount of excersize I am doing, by much atleast. There is a slight increase in walking. I did switch about 3 months ago from sweetened tea (which I drank a LOT of) to unsweetened green tea, and I have also been eating less for lunch. I am still not sure if those are enough to account for a 14 pound swing in 4 months.
4. Acid Reflux. I have had increasing gas (wind pain) in the last 6 months to the point where I having to belch and burp a lot. Those create some scary symptoms.
5. Muscle Pains. I have noticed that I am more prone to muscle pulls and pains lately. I am not sure if its something to do with getting older (im only 21) or the high amount of anxiety and stress I am under.
6. Strong smelling urine. I dont know what this has to do with anything, but my urine has had a strong odor some of the time in the last month. I have taken a vitamin occasionally in the last month, so im not sure if that could be it, I have also increased my intake of bananas.
About 8 months ago I had my doctor flat out tell me, there is no cancer, no diabetes, nothing severe. Nothing really wrong with my heart. I assume that is still the case
That basically sums up the last 2 months for me...It seems as if sometimes I feel ok if I am doing something, but the majority of the time I am feeling these symptoms. I know I am under an enormous stress amount right now, probably by far bigger than at anytime in my life due to family in the hospital and other things, but I am not sure what to think about these symptoims. The shaking I have kind of attributed to stress but who knows, maybe some other people in here have similar symptoms with a not so severe cause, but these symptoms just become increasingly worrying to me along with all the eadded stress that has come from family members being in the hospital on top of other things. I am 99% sure I have developed an atleast minor case of depression, so that is also contributing I think. I keep hearing all these common things that can cause these symptoms but I just dont know.
Any help advice, similar symptom stories would be appreciated.
