How long has it been going on for? Have you been to the doc just to get checked out?
High periods of anxiety and stress can do crazy things to our bodies. But if it’s been consistent pain and the weight loss has been in a relatively short time period, I would schedule a checkup with my GP just to rule anything out.
I just had a look at your history and you had symptoms pretty similar to this 18 months ago. Based on that I suspect they are anxiety related. But- your doctor is there to help, and I do think you should go for a check up if you are struggling. Explain your fears and ask for help.

no one on here can diagnose you unfortunately. It might help your mental health to go get checked out. Or you can continue struggling through the anxiety and uncertainty and life will be a living hell. I know because I’ve been there myself. But the next step is yours to take - and you have to be willing to do so.

I lost two stone on the nervous breakdown diet. I had to move my belt over 3 notches then make another 2 for my belt to fit.
Anxiety is the most likely cause oy your weight loss but you need to take responsibility for your health (physical and mental) and see a doctor.
I was the opposite to you with my HA - I was at the doctors that much I had my own parking space (not really, but you get my drift?)
Nobody can diagnose you on here. Only a doctor can do that. What I do know is that more you scare yourself, the more weight you'll lose.
Be brave. Make an appointment, and once you accept that it's your mind which is the issue, you can get help to sort your HA out.

It doesn't matter if you have an appetite and eat food.
Here is how it works..
Cortisol is a stress hormone. When people are stressed, they have higher levels of cortisol and this makes the body work harder, so more fuel consumption. Anxiety tends to curb appetite so although we are eating, we're eating less than we normally would AND we are burning more fuel. But I was also having phases where I couldn't stop eating, and was still losing weight!
I just put 2 and 2 together with my health symptoms the past 2 years and now losing weight I'm really scared and lonely .
HA will always lead you to cancer with weight loss because it's worst case scenario. It's a life-threatening disease and our brains are wired for survival - so the fight or flight system kicks in when we think we have cancer. I have had several imaginary cancers, but so far, no actual cancer, and my symptoms were 100% convincing. (to me)
I lie awake at night with all these thoughts and different scenarios going on....
Of course you do. HA will really go to town with you. But, going back to the cortisol - can you see how imagining these scenarios at night, when you are supposed to be resting, will keep that cortisol flowing through the night?
I have had severe HA - so I totally understand you. However, none of what I lay there torturing myself with ever came to pass. In the end, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia - which has to be said is a pain in the @arse (and everywhere else) but is not life threatening. My only experience of real life or death stuff didn't scare me at all because I was actually experiencing something - not imagining it, and reality is usually far less eventful than what we imagine, but we can blame dramatic portrayal on tv for this...
I've had this frequent urination that keeps me up at night as well and now have center chest pain that gets aggrovated when I eat....
Anxiety will create all kinds of symptoms and all over your body- from your scalp to your toes. Urinary frequentness is very common with anxiety, as is chest pain. Now, chest pain, if new, should always be checked out because that's just common sense. I get chest pain a lot from anxiety and hyperventilation and from something called Costochondritis which can be quite painful. If we get bloating due to anxiety (not breathing properly) - this can put pressure on the lungs which creates chest pain.
I know this feels scary, but that's because you don't understand anxiety and the effects of stress hormones on the human body. When you do know, it's not actually scary at all. I was scared too before I understood what was happening to me and why.
You need to see a doctor who will be able to reassure you that all is well.

Cortisol causes a metabolic increase. Weight loss is common
Quote:
Cortisol increases availability of all fuel substrates by mobilization of glucose (2, 3), free fatty acids (4), and amino acids from endogenous stores (5, 6). Thus, when in excess, cortisol is an overall catabolic hormone, which decreases lean body mass and muscle mass and may increase energy expenditure (7

I've been having a lot of digestive pain behind sternum the past 4 week as well.....
Thanks Nora B a bunch
But doesn't high cortisol cause weight gain ?
Yes, and it usually deposits it around the waist.
But, stress hormones (which is what cortisol is) mucks about with metabolism, and it can go either way. I've had it both ways.
I wake up tonight somewhat sweaty....with chest pain though to the back....
I've had night sweats with anxiety. Think of how your body reacts when you are stressed? Cold sweats or flushing of the face or entire body. Classic anxiety symptoms.
My dad (who had cancer) had night sweats which literally required a change of sheets everyday. He wasn't 'somewhat sweaty' - he was drenched in his own sweat, and when you have other severe symptoms (like he did) and no other explanation (like the menopause) then cancer could be a consideration - but even then, it's never a cert.
Chest pain is common with anxiety because we don't breathe properly. We eat too fast, or take too much air in. Our abdomens bloat up which puts pressure on the lungs and we get chest pain - which the HA mind will think is heart attack or cancer. It's neither. It's anxiety.
I never get any sleep anymore with the constant peeing at night and the fear and terror
Constant peeing is because your body is in fight or flight with anxiety. The body needs to purge itself of anything which will slow you down - so it's common to wee and poo in the middle of the night during times of severe stress.
The only 'terror' is what you're imagining, and that's not real.
The more you put fearful thoughts into your mind, the worse the symptoms will be.
Damn losing weight sucks
Oh I don't know, I was 10 stone in March and now I'm 9 stone. I needed to lose about a stone and a half to be 'right' for me. :yesyes:
Weight loss is very, very common with anxiety because of appetite issues and the fact that people are just burning a LOT more fuel due to metabolism changes, and these are temporary - they will settle down once you bring your stress levels down.

After two years with lung cancer, I dare to say you wouldn’t be up to posting on this forum.
Regardless - there is one way to rule this out for sure. Visit your doctor and get it sorted. Then hopefully you can pursue help with the illness you do have - anxiety.

It’s just so unfortunate to see. I 100% understand the fears because I’ve been there myself. And possibly I wouldn’t have listened either during the worst of my spirals. I’d love so much to be able to help others see that life is much better on the other side of it...not without its blips and reoccurrences, but each time does get a little better and easier to pull out of.

Unexplained weight loss
Frequent urination (3 times a night/several a day)
Sticky loose stools that take forever to wipe (haven't had a normal stool in 2 years)
Dry skin on whole body especially lower legs and feet
Blurry up-close vision
I guess I'm worried my pancreas is getting worse etc

But you are posting these symptoms on an Anxiety forum, BadCompany. No one here is a doctor or can diagnose you. What we do have plenty of here, are people that have struggled with the same issues you’re having now - and it all turned out to be anxiety. The problem is, while you’re so deeply trapped in this rabbit hole of cancer fears, no amount of reassurance we give you is going to help.
start with a doctors visit. Get a physical, explain your symptoms. Once you’re given the all clear, focus on the anxiety - because it is an illness too - just a mental one.

I lost my father to lc and one if his first symotoms was losing weight....
What scares me is the muscle loss so quick.....
Sorry about your dad.
Weight loss and muscle waste doesn't equal cancer. In 2016 I went from 10 stone to just under 8 and all my muscles were wasted, except that I didn't hold back in seeing doctors, and I also didn't have cancer. What I did have was fibromyalgia and a severe case of health anxiety mixed in with GAD.
Every one of us on this forum, and everybody on this planet is terminal, and that's from the moment we are born. Death is a cert. Nature dictates that death must follow life, so we really need to get our heads around this so that we can make those little dashes (-) between our birth and death stand for something other than fear.
I lost my dad too, and it was cancer. Even though his was a male cancer (and last time I checked I don't have a prostrate) I still managed to connect it to me because HA will do that. 6 years later my mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer - which does affect me, and is the reason I'm screened every two years. It's also the reason I get any new abdo symptoms checked out - which is common sense. I should point out that I have had a 'cancer scare' where my symptoms were identical to ovarian cancer and I got the all clear despite worrying myself sick! There was no cancer, even though the symptoms were 100% convincing, and convincing enough for my GP to get me seen within a week. My point being that things can 'appear' to be very scary and we can buy into cancer 100%, but I was wrong on that occasion and I've been wrong every other time since. In fact, the disease that put me into mental breakdown has yet to be confirmed by science!
Mum's tumour was removed along with her uterus and it hadn't spread. No chemo. Job done. She lived for another 7 years and died cancer free, so it's not all gloom and doom with cancer. Fishmanpa is bang on with your dad being the catalyst for your HA, and it's absolutely understandable, but your dad's story is not your story - just as I am not my mum or dad's story.
You appear to have a history with these symptoms and I think that this is a resurfacing of those fears associated with your dad's cancer - which means it's anxiety and anxiety can produce the symptoms you are experiencing. It's mostly physical - stress response/hyper focusing type of thing and the HA mind will fill in the gaps - and no matter what symptom you have - it will come up with cancer or some other terminating disease..
The problem with anxiety is that most people underestimate the symptoms, how they mimic those of diseases like cancer, and how utterly convincing they can be.
Death? No choice in that. It is going to happen, but you get to choose how you want to live your life. You can choose to exist in fear or you can take control and responsibility, and that starts with a visit to your doctor and once you've been give the all clear (which I think you will) you need to work on the real problem which is your anxiety.
Do you think that your dad would like to see you suffering on account of him? I'm a parent and I can tell you that this is the last thing a parent would want!
You eradicate fear by turning around and facing it, and only you can make the choice to do this, but I can assure you that nothing will change until you do.
Your doc will most likely run full blood tests to start with, so if they come back without numerous deficiencies - then you can forget cancer with the muscle wastage.
Don't give this another thought. Make the appointment, and take responsibility for your life. We cannot diagnose you, but most of us can recognise severe anxiety when we see it.
Seeking reassurance on here will help you for all of a few minutes - hours at best - whereas a doctor giving you the all clear will help enormously - you just have to choose to accept the diagnosis. (anxiety)
All the best, and Merry Christmas.

I have an absolute fear/terror of seeing a doctor and he/she confirming my worst fears .
This is pure agony
No sleep, the pain and weight loss.....the thoughts
The thoughts don't diagnose but if you won't see a doctor then you will be left with just thoughts and fears but no resolution.
If it's pure agony why not make that move to get some relief and clarity? Why put yourself through more agony by doing nothing? Making a plan and talking to a GP may seem an unbearable prospect but what else can you do other than nothing?

Something is going on
You stop it by calming down.
You stop it by controlling these catastrophic thoughts which trigger the stress response which will make you burn more fuel therefore you will lose weight and muscle.
Have you bothered to read my comment at all?
I had this 4 years ago. I have this now. I didn't have cancer before, and it's not looking like I have it now either! I do have anxiety though (and fibromyalgia)
What's 'going on' is that your body is hypersensitised and you are hyper-focusing on sensations in your body. That, and you don't understand the stress response or anxiety. Like most people on here - you are greatly underestimating how ill anxiety can make us feel, and also how utterly convincing it can be with 'imaginary' diseases. Understanding the effect of stress on the body was a game changer for me!
Only one way to haul yourself out of this hole, and that's to see a doctor. This is being proactive about your own health. I honestly do not think you have cancer but there's only one way to find out, and you need to make the choice that you can live with, and you obviously can't live with not ever seeing a doctor judging by the state you are in.

My therapists husband had Esophageal cancer. He didnt have weight loss as a symptom, he literally woke up and could not swallow. I find threads like this maddening, my father was diagnosed Monday with laryngeal cancer, again no major weight loss. Weight loss does not always equal cancer.

The other, and most likely scenario, is that they confirm that you don't have cancer, but you do have health anxiety and they will get you some help.
The unexplained weight loss is very very scary....
It's not unexplained as I have explained to you. You have severe anxiety and have done so for at least 2 years because you joined this forum in 2018 and you were in a similar state then. HA is very obvious.
Weight loss is very very common with anxiety.
A visit to the doctor is the first step to you controlling your HA, so make the call.

You should call the doctor then and make an appointment. They are the only ones at this point that can either diagnose you or reassure you.

I'm under severe stress now as I cannot eat anything without my stomach, esophagus, throat and tongue burning like fireI get sharp pains near my sternum and left breast...My stomach is making weird gurgling noises all night and day...I cannot sleep at all with the pain and worry...
Okay, so, having read this entire thread...
What in the world can any of us do about it? For argument's sake, let's assume you do have cancer. Pretty sure there's no clinical evidence suggesting that complaining to strangers on an internet forum will help cure it. Maybe it really is incurable - sucks, but as others have said, we arrive on this planet with our return ticket already punched. If that actually is the case, though, medical professionals will be the only ones who can ease your physical discomfort. Surely that's something, right?
Oh, and in case you're going to think I don't know about medical phobias, I wilfully ignored a skin cancer on my damned forehead for five years before the fear grew too bad and I got it dealt with. I avoided going to the emergency department after a nasty fall, and a few weeks later my elbow spat out a bone chip. This is because I'm an idiot, and things have only improved slightly in recent years.
It's time to put your big person pants on and take responsibility for your own life.

I've been in the same boat as you a couple of times in regards to being terrified of going to the doctors because of pure fear over what they'd tell me. Wanna know what happened? They simply reassured me and pinpointed what the actual problem was and both times it turned out to be absolutely nothing to worry about. As scared as you may feel about seeing your doctor, the high and the euphoria walking out of that doctors office knowing there's nothing serious wrong with you beats the constant every day panic a million times over. Please make an appointment.

You can look forward to more of this kind of thing with severe anxiety. Muscle cramps, pain and aching is common. You need to lower the stress hormones in your body and that won't happen while you are imagining all sorts of nasties...
If the pains and everything else isn't a constant, it's most probably anxiety.
I'd agree the doctor's all clear is most important! :D

What do you want us to say?
Every second I'm in pure fear....my heart beats fast all day boom boom boom .
Your heart is going boom boom and is beating fast because you are imagining the worst (and most unlikely) scenario!
Engage your brain for a second will you?
What does your heart do when you have a 'near miss'? If you were to step out into the road and a car almost hit you - what would your heart do? It would go boom boom boom and race, but once the danger was over, it would gradually return to normal. This is the normal physical response to stress, and we would all be dead without it. What's happening with you is that your fearful thoughts mean that your fight or flight response never gets to return to normal - it's always engaged - hence your heart goes boom boom and races all day. This normal physical response scares you because you don't understand it. As well as this, there are numerous other symptoms caused by the stress response - symptoms which can affect every part of our bodies - most commonly the chest area and digestive system.
It's your thoughts which are keeping you in this cycle. You don't have to have a near miss with a car to trigger the stress response, your own thoughts will do just as well - because your brain doesn't know the difference between what is real and what is imagined. This works the other way which is why mindfulness can be so effective in reducing those stress hormone levels.

This will probably get merged with your other thread - but, you have lymph nodes all over your body. Not just in armpits and groin. The pains you feel could be muscular, or they could just be random pains. I get those all the time, and then they go away. Bodies are funny like that.
The real key is to manage how you react to these things. Because immediately jumping to worst case scenario is not the best solution.

Unexplained weight loss and lymph node pain us a bad combination As I alluded to before I would update you on my journey....God bless us all
@badcompany ..... I went through stomach/throat cancer HA for a lot of 2020. I had endoscopy/colonoscopy done and they found nothing. I then moved onto lung cancer because I had back pain and was tired. I had an X-ray and they found nothing. My weight loss journey was so bad that I obsessed over it so much to the point I logged my weight in my phone everyday. I was 180 at one point and got all the way down to 157. Unintentional weight loss is not just cancer. Being stressed and having anxiety can make you lose weight without even realizing it. Just breathe! I’m currently going through als fears. It sucks but at the end of the day us that suffer from anxiety can help each other because for the most part we have all been through something that someone else is going through!

The only way you are going to have answers is to see a doctor. I know you said you’re scared but literally the only way to stop this is to get treatment of some kind.
Your digestive issues sound to be very much like acid reflux? There is prescription medication you can take to control this.
Your fears about your pancreas? Left side is also your stomach and sharp pains and chest pains can be symptoms of acid reflux.
Weight loss can be caused by anything, it doesn’t always mean cancer.
Also, not to be blunt but my grandad had oesophageal cancer. He lost weight RAPIDLY in the space of 2 months and he could not eat at all. He didn’t survive 3 months after diagnosis. I see you’ve been losing weight, in your opinion, “rapidly” for 2 years. Not the same.
GO TO YOUR DOCTOR.

I understand what you are going through considering I am currently worrying about my own "potential" gallbladder/pancreatitis/pancreatic cancer issue myself. If you are worried, I would definitely consider talking with your doctor. I plan on scheduling an appointment with a gastroenterologist myself. I'ld much rather know than not know, y'know? You're damned either way if you actually do have stage 4 cancer, so you might as well see it coming.
I don't know if this would help ease your fears, but by the time my dad had noticeable enough esophageal pain to be diagnosed with cancer (which by the way, was a constant pain that was bad enough to keep him up at night), he only lived for an additional 8 months, and his condition very rapidly declined. By rapid I mean he became near skeletal from wasting/not eating and he was by no means a small man (he was 5'10'' and approximately 300 lbs. precancer). Considering that this thread was started about 5 months ago, and that was when I assume you started experiencing various cancer-like symptoms, you should be in considerably dire straights by now if you really were dying of any type of stage 4 cancer.
On another not, pain in your sternum when swallowing is actually really common, and I have experienced a few times myself. When anxious, your throat and pharynx constricts, which causes the pain you feel. About the weight loss, unless you are consistently counting calories, you can't be entirely sure that you really are eating enough to maintain your weight (which is about 2000 Calories per day for the average healthy person). And anxiety both enhances your basal metabolism and tends to make people nauseous/reduce their appetite, and so combined could contribute to weight loss. Also, many other things could cause weight loss; benign hormonal imbalances and certain relatively benign gastric issues like celiac, both of which can be tested for with a simple and cheap blood test. Anxiety can also cause swollen lymph nodes.
Hope that you feel better soon! :)

He had a hard time keeping anything down/swallowing. He couldn't eat nearly at all. Re: pain, nausea, malaise associated with esophageal obstruction. If you lost most your weight last November but aren't still shedding the pounds like water, I think you are probably fine. I know that your symptoms are real; both anxiety and other things cause real symptoms. Story time: I had such bad anxiety after my dad died that I could literally induce psychosomatic seizures. I could quite literally flip a switch in my brain that would make my hands and fingers jerk on their own and also induce repetitive movements such as arm swinging and hand circling. I know that these were psychosomatic because I had to be in a certain mental state to induce them (i.e. stressed) and I could easily stop them if I wanted by focusing on other thigs/going on a walk. Does that mean the seizures weren't real? No, but it does mean that my anxiety caused them.
What type of pain in left shoulder? How bad is it? If it was pancreatitis/pancreatic cancer, the pain would be so excruciating all you would be thinking of is A. I need to get to the ER NOW and B. Oh god please kill me now. That is the type of pain that issues with the pancreas causes. It is not something that you can easily brush off and continue with your day; it is a debilitating, all consuming pain to the point of vomiting. This is nearly the type of pain that I am having myself, however, mine is referred to areas that are more classic for gallbladder than pancreas, and yet still I worry.
And once again, if you are really concerned, please go see a doctor just to rule out other causes.
I'm amazed I'm still alive every moment of every day. I feel like I should have died in the car accident with my sister; that I am living on stolen time. I never thought that I would make it to 18, and I am still here at 23. I know that this feeling of imminent death is my anxiety and complex grief messing with my head, even though it feels so real.

You should maybe get an appointment with a therapist to start treating your anxiety because nothing is gonna change, you will continue to have these thoughts until you treat the problem.
It seems you have been dealing with these same symptoms for a good long time now, cancer doesn’t just come and go and you wouldn’t have had undiagnosed cancer for all this long time.
Lots of people have given you good advice and reassurance but you don’t even acknowledge them and honestly it’s kinda rude. I’m sorry I’m not trying to be mean or anything but I’m sure to them it kinda feels like a slap in the face.
We all can relate to the way your feeling but reassurance is just a bandaid. You have to treat the cause and it’s not cancer, it’s anxiety. Once you can get your anxiety under control even just a small fraction of it, you will see that you start to feel better both physically and mentally.

Just because you don’t think your anxious doesn’t mean that subconsciously you’re not. I don’t know how much weight you lost but stress and anxiety can cause you to drop weight with a quickness and I know that’s a fact because it happened to me. I lost my house and had to move my family into my moms house and I had 4 months tops to get into another place which was extremely difficult. I was stressing so bad and I started dropping pounds daily. I got spooked at first and my mom kept telling me it was stress and at the time I was like no cause I have been more stressed out then I am now and I didn’t lose weight and I don’t even feel that stressed butttt she was right, it really was just stress and I lost 45 pounds in 2 and a half months. I was overweight to begin with so I wasn’t mad.
You don’t have cancer but if you need confirmation before you can move on your gonna have to see the doctor. It’s obvious at this point posting here isn’t gonna help you any. All we can do is keep telling you over and over that you don’t have cancer and that you need to treat your anxiety and apparently that’s not helping you at all because each time someone responds you respond with thank you but I am having this, this and this. It’s like your not even trying to be open to the fact that all these thoughts you have are being caused my health anxiety and so why bother even posting at all? We aren’t doctors here, all anyone can do is try to get you to see what’s going on and tell you to see a doctor if your really concerned about your health.
Oh my goodness, I began at the beginning of this thread, read three pages and then skipped to find it is still going.
I'm not going to fuel your procrastination any longer. As with my 'heart attacks', you have been 'ill' with this for so long that you'd literally be dead by now if it was something purely physical in origin.

Have you ever heard of the term 'psychosomatic'? There was a time I had constant numb feeling on the left side of my face. Seem like it went on forever. I thought I was having a stroke for days. Long story short, finally went to a doctor about it. Well he found nothing wrong with me except my sense of humor. Then I talked to my therapist about it, and she mentioned a thing called 'psychosomatic' in so many words are less. After I found out about that and researched it a bit, not long after that it slowly went away. Actually, I just ignored it, but hallelujah, I was cured!
But seriously, if you have a therapist, ask them about that. 'Psychosomatic'.
