Hi there, I'm knew to this site and stumbled upon it whilst googling symptoms...surprise surprise. I decided to join to share my experiences and hopefully gain some reassurance from others experiencing the same thing.
About a year ago I started to get chest pain. I went straight to A&E and after an ECG and X-Ray, they concluded that everything was fine and I'd probably pulled a muscle in the gym. Before that, I'd always been a happy positive person, a bit of a worrier, but nothing severe. Since then, I have also been diagnosed with a 5cm cyst on my left ovary and was told it could be cancerous. Luckily, it wasn't. However, since all this I have found myself worrying about my health on a daily basis. I have a list of of ailments as long as my arm and I don't know if there is an underlying serious medical condition or if it's all in my head. I was diagnosed with Globus (a lump sensation in the throat) about 2 months ago and after my diagnosis, I received a copy of a letter sent to my GP from the ENT specialist who diagnosed me. In the letter it said I have a hospital anxiety and depression score of 15. Does anyone know what this means as I don't have a clue?
Other symptoms I'm battling with on a daily basis include:
Chest pain
Upper back pain - it feels as though there is something in my back when I lie on it
Lower back pain - although I think this is due to the ovarian cyst
Pain in my left shoulder
Achey arms, particularly the left one
Pain in my hands
Tingling feet
Sweating throughout the night
Pain in my neck and the back of my head
Nausea and feeling dizzy occasionally
Shortness of breath occasionally
I'm a reasonably fit and healthy 31 year old woman and I just want to feel myself again. I feel like all of this is consuming me. I just want to be me again
If anyone has any insight into what is wrong with me, or if anyone if suffering anything similar, I'd be grateful to hear from you.
