Has anyone been diagnosed with an illness that has these symptoms.It started around 6 months ago with a gastro like illness which a few months later dizziness or lightheadedness started and the last month have been finding it hard to breathe on and off daily.i have also had weird muscle twitching,neck and throat sorrness and feeling weak and shaky.

Have had multiple bloods done,catscans,ultrasounds and endoscopy.

Any ideas???

Sounds just like anxiety. I got stomach issues nausea, diarrhea,sometimes vomiting and thought I had the flu or gastritis. Had an endoscopy, colonoscopy, and blood work and all was fine but some acid reflux. Then I started getting dizziness, felt like I had something stuck in my throat,lightheaded,jitters,heart palpitations, burning sensation that lasted months. It was all caused by anxiety! Had to adjust my meds and that helped for about 4 months now I am going they it all again.. ugh

Agree this sounds definitely like anxiety. It's better if you can manage it without medicines by using mindfulness and relaxation techniques as it's likely you may have a lifetime tendency to anxiety symptoms.

Headspace is good to control this also activity and distractions

Its really horrible.

I am struggling to believe it is anxiety as i dont feel anxious and feel ill and dizzy all day every day.i really think i may have some illness that the docs cannot diagnose.

Did you have any antibiotic before the onset of these symptoms, even months before they started? For me (and lots of people) Cipro caused this, and before I knew what the culprit was, I also had all those tests, which come back negative. Doctors are woefully ill informed about this, so your doctor would likely not know to tell you. All the antiobiotics in the family Fluoroquinolone can cause these and other symptoms, and you should avoid them (even if you didn't take any, avoid them anyway :) ) And if you did, visit floxiehope.com for recovery stories, advice, etc. I wish you luck, whatever it is, and feel free to write to me if you have any Qs.

I've been having similar issues like you, I've been getting chest pains. I definitely think I'm not digesting food properly either. I get dizzy at times shortness of breath & nauseous just to name a few symptoms

The only things they have come up with so far was that i had low zinc levels and my liver tests were high.

I am waiting on abdo catscan results and am booked in to see a medical physician on 31 jan.

The breathing issues and dizziness have gotten worse.

I feel my stomach is the cause of it all.
