Hello everyone.
I'm Nick and I am new to these forums. Over the last two months, I just haven't been myself. I've been to the ER twice, an Urgent Care, and an Eye Doctor to test vision, and because I heard they can pick up on signs of brain tumors or MS.
When I went to Urgent Care it was because I just felt terrible. Light headed, weak, tired, congested, just terrible. Turns out it was a viral infection. Well, I mentioned to the doctor that I've been really worried it's cancer or something else that's serious. I had her check out a couple lumps on my rib cage and other spots and she wrote them off as Lipoma's or Subacious Cysts, which my father & sister have tons as well. She did blood work, which all came back really good, besides a slightly elevated liver enzyme which she said was rb viral infection.
About 5 days later, I was bowling and was severely congested and begun having chest pains and panicking... Couldn't sit still or anything. My girlfriend took me to the ER and they said I had bronchitis and I got antibiotics.
Then a couple weeks later I went into a full on panic and legitimately thought I was going to have a heart attack. My hands and feet were tingling, I couldn't swallow, I couldn't walk... It was horrible. They did a Chest X-Ray & told me it was Anxiety and that I was fine. Also, Eye Doctor said my eyes were 100% healthy, besides the vision part...
Ill have health insurance March 1st and the second ER had me sign a form that id go see a family doctor, which I'm going to. I'm just really freaking out. Before this I was a healthy, happy, outgoing 28 year old male. Now, I'm just not the same guy. I've lost 10-15 pounds this last month because I haven't ate as much and I've pretty much completely stopped drinking alcohol, as I'm scared I'm on my way out.
Can this all really be anxiety? I Google stuff for about 5 days on my symptoms and I honestly think that has scared the hell out if me. I'm not doing that anymore.
Ive had bodyaches, sharp pains, my bowel movements aren't the same (lighter brown to yellowish, and just not the same, some black specks on toilet paper), not really headaches but a weird feeling, I've had multiple panic attacks... This seems to get worse at night. I guess I'm just scared I'm dying or have some life altering disease
It's so frustrating.
