Lung pain and rapid weight loss

But doesn't high cortisol cause weight gain ?
I wake up tonight somewhat sweaty....with chest pain though to the back....
I never get any sleep anymore with the constant peeing at night and the fear and terror
Damn losing weight sucks

yes I do! But I think you suspect- as I do - that anxiety is at the bottom of this? You are, after all, in an anxiety forum and not a doctor’s office....

I've been having a lot of digestive pain behind sternum the past 4 week as well.....
