Hey,

I used to get dizziness, numbness and pressure in my head, weird feelings, muscle pain and tension and skin pain for no reason at all. I think I had every single test possible and they all came back fine. It's important to remember that anxiety causes the exact same symptoms, and we are anxious all the time so it is no wonder that we feel this way all of the time.

My doctor did decide that I do suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome, which is as much caused by anxiety as it is an effect of anxiety.

All I can say is that you really should go and get some tests, and try your hardest not to focus on the negatives that may come out of it. If you think about it there really isn't many negatives, because no matter what they find, it will help to make you feel better again and to get rid of these horrible symptoms.

I know it isn't easy, I have been there before, and I can remember the sheer terror I felt just thinking of going to the doctor to get tests done. But it is better to know what is going on than to always worry about what it might be.

Just remember, I'm only 20, and I've suffered from all you have and more. And no matter how bad it was, it only got better from seeing the doctors and getting my tests done. It's amazingly helpful to know whats going on. Sometimes it may only be one small thing that can be revealed from a blood test, like iron deficiency or something. It's unlikely to be something big or dangerous. Just give it a go.

Good luck!
