Worries and concerns...

[Pointz]

Hello all I found this using google and it seems to have a lot of great attributes. I have been troubled with health anxiety for about a year and its not getting better let me give you some background. I had a bad sinus infection and delayed going to my GP due to work and schedule and when the it started to bother my head I then began to believe it was a brain tumor and I went to the doc and he said sinus infection and me using the wonderful "google" search feature didn't buy it. I used my medication it got a little better then I had a panic attack at work and tried to sleep it off and ended up in ER the following day to make sure and the doc treated me kinda rude but offered a CT scan which I gladly accepted and it came back normal. I didn't buy this either due to the fact the doctor was young and kinda unprofessional. I finally went back to my doc who tested my BP which came back 138/108 and he told me to try to distress and put me on Paxil CR and Xanax. I am in the middle of my 4 week of meds and have been experiencing achy knees,twitching (Which I have had more since meds I think), and achy legs. I am currently worried sick about ALS due to my twitching in both legs and buttocks and it is how I found this site through Henry_Rollins ALS post (I love Henry Rollins Band BTW). I am just concerned due to the twitches and aches being in the same locations my GP believes they are BFS due to stress/anxiety and ran some neuro tests on me. I am need of some support I am 26 and in decent health.
