I posted a thread about two weeks back, I can't link to it. :(
Okay, this is a bit of a long story but I am kind of worried and to be honest, I have no one to speak to. This started thirteen days ago with a slight panic attack, I had to stand and breathe slowly for about an hour to relax but then I struggled to sleep afterwards. The next day (Wednesday) a pain in my chest started developing, it wasn't unbearable but it was awkward. By Friday it was unbearable, the pain moving to my shoulder blade too. I went to the doctors and was told my blood pressure and heart rate are fine and that it must be muscular. I'm not a doctor but I know when it's a muscle or at least I think I do.
The Sunday after this, the pain reached a new level so I went to the A&E and had them look at me. Again my blood pressure and heart rate fine and my ECG was fine. Stupidly I rejected a blood test because I had an exam the day after. The Thursday a week after this all began I was in this unbearable pain again so made another doctors appointment and this time got my blood test and was told it's all clear. But then the next day I was called saying i needed to get another blood test, this one is more specifically to look at my liver. I'm in so much pain and I have no idea what's wrong with me and that just makes me more anxious. One night I was laying in bed and I actually just accepted death as if it was coming soon. My symptoms are, shoulder blade pain (sometimes a numb feeling), chest pain, ache in my arm, sharp pain in my palm, diarrhea, tiredness and weak calves.
What am I supposed to do until my next blood test on Thursday?
I still haven't been diagnosed but now the pain has moved to my left calf, not just a weak feeling. My leg is weak and is constantly pulsing/throbbing. I struggle to sleep at night and get tempted to google what is wrong with me. The one time I did, I saw MS and all my symptoms fit with it. Now that's all I think of. I can't help it because no one is telling me what is wrong with me. I have waited over ten days for an x-ray result.
I know MS is rare but the lack of closure is just making me find any disease and associating it with my symptoms. I don't know what to do. I really can't live in this pain/discomfort any longer.
