If This Is Anxiety I’m Feel Like I’m Dying From It?
Question by : If this is anxiety I’m feel like I’m dying from it?
I’m 23-years-old and a few years ago I was a hypochondriac who thought I had every disease under the sun. I feel in love and got over it. Now, after being diagnosed with a prostate infection, it’s all come roaring back. I have been to 4 doctors, a counselor and a chiropractor now. I told all my symptoms to the first doctor and he said that it was anxiety. I couldn’t believe him so I went to another doctor who did a complete neuro in-office exam and said he too believed it was anxiety. I went to a third who too did the neuro exam and said it was not neuro related, but she said she didn’t believe it was anxiety, so she ordered a full blood workup and everything came back normal. Yesterday, I went to the fourth doctor (my primary) who also did the neuro exam and he said he disagreed that it wasn’t neuro because it could be my neurotransmitters. I told him to do a urine culture and an A1C, both of which came back normal. I’m still waiting for the results of my Vitamin D to come back. My primary said he believes that it’s either hypertension or anxiety. I don’t know what to do anymore because I can’t believe it’s anxiety. My symptoms are: I have a weird sensation on both sides of my face. It’s not numb because I have full sensation, it’s just a weird feeling like there is a lot of tension in my face. I have mouth and tongue pain with a sore throat, I have felt tingling in my feet and my hands (it’s more like a burning sensation in my feet and my hands are not really tingling anymore, but the doctor thinks my hands have carpal tunnel), I have a very slight tremor in my right hand and occassional headaches and eye pain (that could be from an allergy that I have to be on eye drops for a eight weeks for). I have a couple cavities I still have to get filled so I’m going to the dentist on Friday and discusing the facial/tongue stuff with him to see if it could be TMJ or something like that. But, three doctors have performed the in-office neuro exam on me and all 3 (including the one who used to work in neuro) have told me that it’s not a brain tumor, stroke, MS, ALS or anything like that, but I’m scared to death. My primary mentioned hypertension could cause the tremor, but would that cause the facial/tongue stuff too? What’s weird is sometimes I feel my symptoms sometimes I don’t. Like Wednesday, I went for a walk with a friend of mine and we were having a conversation so I didn’t even think about the symptoms, so it’s like they didn’t exist. But, when I got home, back they came. Could this be anxiety related? Has anyone else had anxiety with these similar symptoms like facial/tongue pain, tingling, etc. I don’t know what to do anymore because I feel like I’m going insane.

If you don’t believe 4 medical opinions there’s probably nothing I can say that would convince you otherwise. I suggest you go to your local library and check out any book dealing with anxiety. Anxiety has a range of different ‘symptoms” and yes, it does make you feel like you’re dying. You do not seem to have the hallmark of pounding pulse, overwhelming panic, etc. so perhaps it’s not. the easiest thing to do would be to see a psychiatrist or psychologist and have them prescribe an antianxiety med to you. If this seems to help the symptoms then perhaps that’s what’s going on . Other than than, I would say you do indeed seem to have fallen back into being a hypochondriac and would still need to see a psychologist/psychiatrist in order to help you out.
