So. I'm a fifteen year old boy that about a year ago started to feel lightheadedness after a fever. During the fever i had pretty harsh dizziness, but that quickly went away. At the doctors office i was told that i had an infection in the balance system and that i should also go check if i need glasses. So i did. I got glasses and waited out the infection. For a year or so, the lightheadedness went away. One month ago i started to have a fever again, and once again i felt lightheaded. I had not been sick more than like once in the time in between these happenings. Last time i was pretty calm about it, but this time hypochondria/health anxiety is kicking in hard. I've read all these things about fevers being a sign of brain cancer which is the main thing that's worring me currently. Just now i felt really warm (like fever warm, not just warm) but i turn out i'm 37.1C which is not a fever at all. I'm really anxious as a person aswell. Constantly under this last year i've been working my self up over so many different things. Additionaly, i've felt hand weakness on my right side and facial tingeling, but these things only came up after i had read about them. Does that make them phantom sympoms. Is it the anxiety doing that? I know anxiety can cause sympoms, but it's impossible to convince yourself of that. It feels like lightheadedness, fake fevers, hand weakness and facial tingeling is too much to pass up. I've been at the doctor again and they took an electrocardiogram test, a blood test, blood preasure and they also made me do the motor skills/neurological test things. The blood test had nothing wrong, the blood preasure was normal, the ECG was normal and i aced the neurological tests. Oh and another thing. I've had no particular period of many headaches, but right after this all started again and i started googling it, now all of a sudden i have a constant, very low intesity headache that goes away only when i'm distracted doing other things, or swimming. Why would swimming make a headache go away? Jesus. Sorry for the rant, might be a bit hard to read. Punctuation is not my strong suit.
Google is not your friend when you have health anxiety! I have been dealing with this since December and google has done nothing but scared me even more. I know it’s hard but try to stay off google
I think you are awesome for looking into this. I hope you continue to investigate with medical help. It's amazing that you know what that you know what triggers it and that you know what makes it go away.
You're awesome sauce! Keep going until you have a medical answer.
