Hi all,
I'm a 17 year old male, average weight, 6ft tall and keep quite fit playing various sports.
I've had some real problems with anxiety and stress lately related to school and other things in my family. Over the past 3 or 4 months I've becoming increasingly worried about my health because of some strange symptoms.
I've had diarrhoea for about 3 months now, it keeps changing in consistency and everything and it's freaking me out. (sorry for the detail) I have to go usually about twice a day, sometimes less and I think the most is about 5 times.
There are these lumps under my skin too that I'm scared are lymph nodes that have been persistently enlarged but I can't find any reason for them being enlarged.
Other things that are annoying me are; persistent dandruff and frequent colds and sore throat
Oh and I have frequent/constant chest pain and upper back pain too - this can be caused by anxiety right? I can't really find anything that links all these symptoms.
When I've been to the doctors i've been tested for; flu, mono, HIV (3, 6 and 12 weeks) and 3 full blood counts - they have come back completely normal.
What I'm asking is has anyone had the same things as me? And if they have, do they have any answers?
Would be really good to hear from someone about this.
Thanks x
