I recently posted on here about symptoms i was having like palpitations, shallow breathing, and tingling and itchiness all over the place. I went to urgent care and they didnt find anything. The doc ignored my complaints of itching and just focussed on the other symptoms. he put it down to hyperventilation. I think these are symptoms of anxiety but yesterday I had some pelvic pain and then my legs started to feel sore especially when laying down. I started getting tingling and itching everywhere. The itching does seem to be worse when thinking about it but it also happens when im not...andive noticed small red bumps in different areas like the abdomen and arms. Ive been to the doctor many times since beginning of april because i had a range of many different symptoms like low back pain, abdominal pain when sitting, burning in the butt and thigh pain, and pain that felt like was in the ovaries, and hip pain....ive had multiple blood tests, urine tests, pelvic exams, vaginal ultrasound and an abdomen and pelvic CT.. nothing showed in any of those... one doc mentioned it sounded like ibs for the group of symptoms i was having before..but this new group of issues like the tingling itching and breathing is new. It started after I was reassured about my other symptoms! Right after getting a piece of mind , i noticed a mole in the shower and freaked out because it looked bigger to me, went to get that checked but after being stressed over that, these new symptoms started...Im getting tired of going to the doc, theyve done a lot already. It seems like what im experiencing now is stress but 2 years ago i developed gastritis and it took like 8 months for that to be diagnosed and i spent the whole time worrying about stomach cancer...even during all that time of worrying, i didnt get anxiety symptoms. But now I am after only a short time of worry since april? It doesnt make sense. Could it be because before my concern was just one thing ? This time around, ive worried about multiple illnesses based on my symptoms in such a short time. Ive made an appointment with a counselor for my health anxiety but im just confused and cant tell whats stress and what could possubly be something. But I know ive had way too many things going on for it to be something and so many tests done but my mind wont accept that
i forgot to mention ive had pain that felt like it was in my arm bone but im not sure what bone pain is supposed to feel like..my hand bone also seemed to have gotten sore, it was sore when I touched it but thats gone now . The itching escalated after looking up bone pain then tingling. I started worring about something called multiple myeloma because symptoms included bone pain numbness and itching as part of it
when I was in my 20s, I had every symptom you could possibly think of. foggy brain, dizziness, vertigo, hives, . Weakness, colitis, gastritis, numbness and tingling in my arms, legs, face, bone pain, neck pain, shortness of breath, derealization, Plus many others
. All my testing came back normal. It was at that point that I knew it was all caused by long-term stress and anxiety. I’m now in my 50s and I’m still here! You have to realize what stress and anxiety does to the body! It can devour you inside and out and make your life miserable if you don’t get a handle on it. The mental torture that comes with severe fear and worry is just horrible.
The more you overthink this the worse your symptoms are going to get because you are telling your brain that something is wrong. please speak with a therapist who specializes in anxiety because this is very difficult to do alone.
