I Am really terrified of recent symptoms I have been having. For the last two weeks I have been having mild night sweats. Also I have lost about 5 pounds in two weeks. I was working out pretty hard before these last two weeks and then I hurt my knee. I also went off my diet and haven’t been eating well the last two weeks. So not sure how I would lose weight During these two weeks. I also have seemed to lost muscle mass within the last two weeks. Not sure if it’s from not working out? Maybe the loss of muscle mass caused the weight loss?
I also have been having mild night sweats the last two weeks along with headaches.
My dr does not seem to concerned. Sometimes I worry he knows I suffer from health anxiety and is chalking it up as that.
I did have a normal CBC last month. A chest CT scan and Chest X-ray within the last 6 months. And a stomach and pelvic CT scan about a year ago.
I guess what I’m wondering is could cancer have shown up after these tests? I worry these symptoms I’m having are some type of cancer like lymphoma or a tumor somewhere else.
Dr thinks weight loss is from my anxiety and night sweats could be from the anti-inflammatory medicine I’m taking for my knee (naproxen)
Any advice, help would be helpful. Especially someone that works in medical field.
I know this is a long rant 😢
