To start this off, I am very happy to have found this website. It gave me a whole new insight on people dealing with severe health anxiety, and it makes me feel as if I am not going through this alone. Thank you all in advance!
My symptoms started about a month ago when I was getting a pain in the back right of my head. Once I started noticing this, I started getting pretty worried about it and my main worry was and still is a brain tumor. As time went on, I started developing a whole bunch of other symptoms that worried me to death.
-Feeling slightly off balance
-Fatigue
-Tinnitus in both ears
-Vomited twice in the past month (but they weren't violent and I'm somewhat convinced it was something I ate)
-Some numbness on the right side of my body (arms, legs, even abdomen)
-Eye pain that would be on the right or left side
-Hand tremors (both hands)
-Neck and lower back pain
-And now recently stomach cramps, however I might have picked up the flu, I really dont know
A lot of these symptoms are come and go, and they've just stayed constant.
I've seen a nurse twice and a doctor once and they both told me it's all due to anxiety, but I really just find that so hard to believe. I even did an eye exam that both examined my dilated pupils and pictures behind my eyes, and everything came out clear. I have not had an MRI or CT scan yet because I cant afford one at the moment. This has been worrying me to death lately and it has just put me at a state of depression I can't seem to escape. I'm making a big move from California to Florida in a couple of weeks because I'm going to a university there, but I really dont want this controlling my life. This has been on my mind ever since it has happened and I just can't stop worrying. I just want to be happy and normal again.
