Hi guys
New to NMP so here goes! About 8 months ago a i had a very stressful time with a now ex partner, I am only 22 years ols and have always been very laid back and generally didn't suffer with stress/anxiety. Out of the blue I started with strange symptoms such as waking in the night with pins and needles in my hands. To cut a very long and boring story short I went to the doctors and he said they were classic symptoms of anxiety but silly me had googled the symptoms and convinced myself I had MS!
I also went to see a neuro, had an MRI and visual evoked potential test all of which were clear and the neuro wasn't worried at all. This was great and I started to feel better but then 2 weeks ago it all started again.. waking with pins and needles, constipation, a sort of numb feeling in the right hand side of my body, constant blurred fuzzy vision in my right eye mainly, funny hearing sometimes if I have been listening to loud music (this never used to happen before), I also feel like I can't breathe sometimes when I am very tired... I get a tight feeling in my chest and the breathing seems all out of sync which makes me feel really 'not on this planet' also keep waking in the night with a whole body tremor???. Still scared about MS as I have read (on google once again!!) that MRI's can sometimes not detect early symptoms.
Anyone else had similar things???? The doctor seems to think all of my symptoms are a physical sign of anxiety, somatization, even though I don't feel too anxious??? Help!!
Thanks!
