I'm 36 and am about 3stones overweight. I don't smoke or drink.
I have so many aches and pains at the moment I'm just really worried that there is something sinister wrong with me.
1) I am so tired some days, it's a struggle to make it to lunchtime without a sleep. I get exhausted just walking up stairs and the other day, got out of breath reading my daughter a story! I wake up with pains in my legs (the back of my thighs are very sore) and various other places. I do have a goiter and have my thyroid checked every year and though it always come back on the low side of normal limits, the doc does not feel I need medication.
2) My stomach is severely bloated. If you look at me sideways on, I look like I'm carrying twins full term. There is no abdominal pain but i'm worried it's a tumour or something, it just looks huge and also feels quite hard to the touch. Again, I did have this checked a couple of years ago and doc said it was fat and nothing sinister.
3) I have pain in my armpit for over a year now. Saw the doc last year who didn't think it was anything to worry about. Sometimes it's a sore pain, other times feels really deep inside, but the pain is more or less constant and to a lesser degree in the other armpit.
4) I often have pain under the left ribs and in the centre of my breastbone, feels like maybe an ulcer or something.
I'm just really worried that all these symptoms are connected and that it's something serious. Help!
