What’s going on with me ?..

[Latha84]

I am at 37 year old male UK, my symptoms started in 2019 with really bad right sided head pain which lasted for a good few weeks went back and forward to GPs had bloods taking and then got sent to hospital for a CT with contrast of the head. The results came back all normal but my symptoms had manifested into having really bad night sweats,nausea, feeling very light headed/faint like and mild pains in the chest, so then i got referred to a infectious diseases clinic as this all started after i came back from a week in Scotland and i work with raw sewage.

I had a mass of test done in this clinic 10 different blood test, 3 stool sample, 24 hour urine sample, ECG and a CT scan of head and torso with contrast and from all these test everything came back normal.

So back and forward to GPs i went had lots of blood test carried out for the like of Lymes, Weils and H pylori. I had chest X-ray, 2 more ECGs and i paid for a private MRI scan of my head all these test came normal as well.

But my symptoms had gained.

Brain feels fatigue when talking and learning stuff

dizzy/foggy heads and if i turn quickly i seem to get dizzy very easy

feeling like am not in control of my legs but i can move them fine

Migraine type head pains

burning/ itchy feeling in back of head ( lasts for a week or so )

waking up dizzy for short time ( only happened a handful of times)

left blood shot eye ( comes for a couple of days and goes)

nausea mainly in morning

chest pain/ burning in middle of chest( comes for few weeks and goes again)

Arm and leg muscle twitch( mainly when resting)

stiff and achy index and thumb on both hands( comes and goes)

crampy feeling in leg muscle ( only had this a few times)

burning feeling on outside of left calve ( only had this for a few days April 2020)

a feeling like i have a hair in between my big and second toe of my right foot ( lasted about a week)

pains in bottoms of my heels

tingling in my left toes when walking or i tap my toes( lasts about a week)

hands feel like they are wet ( only had this once lasted a few hours)

tingling in hands when clapping or using power tools

random spikes in heart rate only lasts a couple of seconds

feeling pulse in whole body

feeling shaky or nervous

stomach pains

never feel fully rested

muscle fatigue

tinnitus only lasts a couple of seconds

tongue feels arched ( lasted a few days)

So i was referred to a syncope clinic and had a tilt table test, 24 hr heart and blood pressure test and a echo of the heart these all came back normal.

I had a 20 mins phone call appointment with a rheumatology all he seemed to be looking for was arthritis as i have had psoriasis since 2013. so had X ray and echo of hands and feet and bloods done which have all came back normal.

So now i have been referred to neurology which i seen on monday but felt very rushed and all she seemed to focus on was my migraines. I have had some bloods taking and she is going to send me for more scans of the head and neck to rule things out but she does not think anything is going on ?

I have had 2 eye tests, private york food intolerance ( only mild to cows milk so now drink oat milk), private CBT and private Physio ( dry needling and massage).

I have been only sertraline 50mg for months made no difference

lansoprazole 30mg for 4 weeks made no difference

The only thing that has been suggested all the way though this is stress and anxiety ??? but why and how can it cause all this when i was fit and health before this all happened.

If you got this far thanks for reading any body had any of these symptoms ?

thanks

Anxiety can come out of anywhere there isn’t always a reason behind it, also with anxiety medication they take a while to work, 4 weeks is only a short period of time for you to expect it to work you need to keep at them and then the doctors will do reviews and may choose to increase the dosage. You could always get a second opinion if you feel like what you’ve been told is incorrect.

I was on sertraline for a good 3 months just made no difference at all,

I have most of these symptoms on a daily basis hun unlike yourself I’ve had no tests and the drs put it down to anxiety

I’ve been like this for eight months hun I’ve been having therapy and am on citropram u do have to give the tablets time to work

Let me know how u go sending u some hugs 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[Latha84 in reply to xsor]

It’s just very random symptoms which keep changing so when I keep ringing the GPs I think they must think am making these just so I can speak to them ha. I will see what come from the neurologist test then may have try so different tablets. I ve had CBT with work but are only doing phone calls, am the kind of person that likes face to face. Do you have symptoms every day ?as I do I just keep thinking if it was anxiety surely I would have some symptom free days, as I ve been like this for a year and a half now.

[xsor in reply to Latha84]

Yeah hun every single day for the past eight months sometimes I can’t get out off bed it’s. Left me with agrophobia and yeah random symptoms pop up from nowhere my life has been turned upside down are u I’m ok hun my therapy has been all done over the phone I’ve just been referred to the primary intermediate mental health team so hopefully they will be able to help me more xxx

Hi again,I ve just noticed that you’ve just had some bloods done and come back low folate, it’s funny that as I had mine done a couple of weeks ago and my folate was low as well 3.0mg/l ! Did you do a b12 test ? I had a b12 test it came back at 289 gp says this is in range ! So I am taking some folic acid to see if that help me.

Hi like Xsor mine started about 10 months ago but I did have a trigger. Every day I have different symptoms some last longer than others but i know that the root of it is my thoughts that cause all these different symptoms, I never know what is going to manifest.Medication action hasn't seemed to work. Only this week I saw. Psychotherapist and she has said she thinks I’m suffering from a abandonment issues and this is causing the anxiety. I hope you find some answers
