Im having more issues, and theyre beginning to frighten me, here's the basic gist of whats going on, its just a copy-paste of my post on here from two days ago:
"Recently, ive been having a lot of health struggles for about almost 2 months. It started out with me lying in bed, in the beginning of June, I remember lying there and feeling a lump in my throat, like I could swallow. I rushed to the ER, they said it was my uvula and that it was swollen (it really wasn't) and sent me off with some medicine. I went to the ER 3 days after that, and they tested me and also claimed it was my "swollen uvula". But, they also did a chest and throat x-ray, a swab of my throat, and some blood work, all came back fine. I then attended summer school, and had frequent panic attacks or "high anxiety" ever since. Then, I had went to a clinic (Early July) and they also said the same thing, they prescribed me claritin (didn't solve swallowing issue as I had no swollen uvula.) Later, (around the 10th of July) I got sick, I came down with green/yellow mucus, which lasted only 3 days. After a little while after the green mucus had stopped, I noticed I had a sore throat and my neck swelled up, my lymph nodes became palpable. Now, this is when I started to google my symptoms, from this day forward my "high anxiety" came with crying. A little after this, (last week) I went to an ENT specialist who felt my nodes and thought nothing of them, he thought they were no problem at all and told me how a sore throat can drain to sides of the neck, he also looked down my throat with a tube and found nothing of concern, as well as feeling my neck, he said he wants to see me back in 6 weeks and that it was all in my head. I felt relieved for about a day.. until I started searching again.... Now, fast forward a couple days, to Sunday (2 days before the intial post of this post), I noticed that my arms were aching and my legs were tingling (without pins and needles), and weak, and it also felt like they were on fire, along with this my hip was "the source" ( or aching most) of the aching. My arms still ache and it feels like the shoulders are the "source" of the aching. Along with this, I get little muscle twitches and ticks all over my body, usually they're concentrated in my legs and arms (the twitching is.) as well as my joints popping. Along with all this, it feels like im falling sometimes or that my head goes light, along with a feeling of nervousness in my chest (hard to explain. I also got constipated and hit with diarrhea, with a bit of swelling (not visible, but I can feel it). My throat is still sore and it still feels one side of my nose is stuffed and that there's mucus in my chest/throat (although its not green/yellow, its white or foamy, but definitely thick). My eyes also feel a little strained sometimes, everyone says these symptoms come from anxiety (minus the whole lymph node and sore throat thing), but im so fearful of having lymphoma, lukemia, thyroid cancer, or any form of cancer!! I fear that all these symptoms are really not anxiety, and that im dying or something, I just want reassurance that this will all end and i'll get my life back, but that feels so..afar.. I thank you reader that you've gotten this far. Please respond, and God bless you.
P.S: My groin kinda hurts (private parts (im male so take a guess what does)), my parents are convinced its anxiety, and refuse to take me to any more doctors.
I also lost my appetite and can feel my stomach growling or having that "hungry feeling" even after I eat. My muscles get like this even when im not hyperventilating, I trained myself to do that less." [end of Post from 2 days ago]
Along with all that I have a stuffy nose (alternating sides), thick mucus and post nasal drip. I can feel some lymph nodes in my groin, I feel bloated or that something is in my stomach or sometimes it'll hurt , and sometimes I feel my hands and soles get sweaty.
The lymph nodes on my neck seem to be going down, although it sometimes seems they come back up, idk. idk if i stated this before but my muscles ache specifically my shoulders and the right side of my hip.. And sometimes my chest feels heavy and my joints pop. Idk if my anxiety is causing all this. A lot of these physical symptoms came in the last WEEK (aching, stomach issues, etc ) and sometimes I dont even feel anxious when I get these sensations. And theyre not as bad when I wake up, althoguh i can feel my hip and shoulders being sore. I aslo feel slightly "dazed" sometimes, like a dropping feeling that lasts a second or two... Idk.....
Could cancer (specifically non-hodgkins low-grade lymphoma) be the culprit?
:doh:
