Undetected health problem or anxiety..

Hello all,

I have been feeling so unwell and weak for the past 2 months, I feel like it's getting worse to the point where I can hardly do anything. When I stand for too long or sit up I feel like I'm going to pass out, my head feels floaty. I've also had numbing in my hands and flashes. I've had CT scan of my whole body, endoscopy, heart test and blood test. Everything has came back normal but I feel so unwell I have no strength at all and I'm constantly feeling like I'm going to pass out. My doctor says it's anxiety but I dont think anxiety can make you that weak. I'm afraid I have colon cancer or aomething, I'm so scared and my doctor worried but I am getting weaker by the day..

When I first felt anxious the not knowing and constant worry (resulting in lack of sleep)made me exhausted. I used to think all sorts of things were wrong. You can only place your faith in doctors. Try and rest and I hope you begin to feel a little better.
