Hi everyone
i became ill 3 months ago when out of nowhere i came over all weird like i have never felt before, i was very stressed out that day, but there has been no changes or events that have happened in my life that could have caused this.
But everyday since then i feel tired and have no energy all the time, my hands are shaky, i dont feel with it, my head feels tight at the back and i feel lightheaded sometimes throughout the day.
my throat feels tight, i shake inside as well, i get bad pains in my knees, hands and arms sometimes, and my face feels achy.
These symptoms or most of them i experience most of the day every day.
I am 22 years old and apart from asthma i have had no other medical probelms, i had 2 blood tests done, and a ECG and urine sample but nothing the docs were puzzled, i was relieved the tests were negative of course but in a way i felt something else bad was wrong that i havent had tested like a degenerative disease or brain disorder that will slowly make me lose my memory and make my unable to dress myself or anything anymore, but then i think most brain things are in the genes and in older age so it shouldnt be anything like that.
The doc says i suffer from depression, the nurse says its stress and another doctor said its generalized anxiety disorder, i have only just started having these morbid thoughts and iv been ill for over 3 months now.
I dont get angry or have mood swings and anything or cry or feel guilty i just feel i have lots of physical symptoms so is this depression? i cant be bothered to do anything as i have no energy and i have lost my sex drive and stuff as well.
i had chronic pain for 5 months waiting for wisdom teeth to come out would that have been a factor?
i just feel terrible i feel about 70 years old.
2 weeks ago i was queing to go on a ferry and i suddenly got this urge to get out of the car i felt weird like i was gonna faint and i had a urge to move and my pulse went very fast and i think my heart was pounding but i wasnt over breathing or anything, it went after about a minute but was scary i dont get that feeling very often, ive only had 4 or 5 experiences like that in the last 3 months.
I wrote alist of the symptoms i get daily to the doc and he gave me sertraline he didnt say what they were but i found out they were anti-depressants so he must think im depressed, i took them for 2 days but my body hated them that was about 5 weeks ago but i got given cipralex 5 days ago and ive not had any really bad reaction from them apart from making me more tired so hope they will do the trick.
But for 3 months as soon as i wake up i feel tired and im yawning all day after about 4 or 5 hours of being up i feel exhausted and i cant stay up as late as i used to as my body cant take it anymore.
Sorry about the lenght of this message and i hope to hear some advice from people as to what they think. :)
