I need help , anyone who may have any ideas as to what I'm experiencing ?! I'm 15 years old and for the past year or so I have had a constant spaced out sort of feeling and it's not "blurry" vision but everything is " "unclear" and I see weird flashy things . My eyes are constantly tired and eyelids want to droop even after a good nights sleep. I get heart palpitations and the feeling that I can't breathe or am going to stop breathing. I have cold trickling sensations in my head and sore head sometimes ! I can't remember simple things and am finding it really hard to learn and concentrate at school because I get so tired and can't focus. I get intense muscle spasms , usually in my leg . I've been battling anorexia (in hospital for 2 months) since I was 11 and bulimia since I was about 13/14 . But it's not as bad anymore , I'm recovering. It's really scary all the symptoms I'm feeling and I always think they are symptoms of a brain tumour , heart failure etc , terrible things , I just want to live without feeling like I'm dying, and be a normal teenager 😠PLEASE SOME ANSWERS !!
I'm assuming if you've battled anorexia and bulimia you've had a lot of tests to make sure you're healthy?
If the tests have come back ok, it sounds like anxiety to me. I get a lot of what you've listed. I went to bed at 10pm last night, woke up at 7am, so 9 hours sleep, yet I'm still feeling tired and spaced out and anxious.
I've had tests for certain things , my iron and potassium were low for awhile but then came back normal and then I had an elevated blood count and haven't got my next lot of tests yet . The symptoms are just so physically real and come at random times , even when I'm completely chill , hanging with my friends or watching a movie, playing music or something and boom I'll get a random massive heart attack like feeling .
It could be. Have you seen your doctor? Maybe get a referral from doc to seek counseling.
