I dont know whats wrong with me.....please help!!!!

[melissamoore1981]

hey all, i honestly dont know what is wrong with me. My symptoms all started after i had my first child nearly six years ago when i was 21. i was getting chest pains, headaches, joint and muscle pain, and tingling all over my body etc, i thought that i was dying every day!! they told me that i had an anxiety disorder, which i took on board but til this day do not agree with. i had every test under the sun, brain cts, mri's, cardiologist appointments etc......then over the last few years my syptoms were mild. however within the last month, i have been getting these headaches (im not sure if you'd even call them that), but they give me the sypmtoms of timgling on the top part of my head and face, it gives me the feeling that there is something there stuck under the top part of my skull, also my temples are very sore, and i am getting the headaches every day. Does anyone else suffer or experience anything similar??? Doctors cant pinpoint what is wrong with me, but have suggested, rh arthritis, fribomylagia, tension headaches.....

thank you, its good to know i am not the only one out there experiencing this. its so frustrating and i believe that when the docotrs cant pin point what is wrong with you, they with out a doubt always put it down to "anxiety"

hi thanks for the input, i have been tested for diabeties and blood pressure and everything was perfectly normal. i have been diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia, and have been tested for rh arthritis which came back high so have been sent to a rhumatiologist for further investigation....i do have a very bad back and neck, which i am seeing a physio and osteopath for, however symtoms are not improving and do seem to be getting worse, but doctors keep telling me its anxiety......when i know its not!!! very frustrating

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
It is difficult to comment really without examination. However diabetes mellitus is a likely cause for head and tongue tingling. The symptoms could be due to increased blood pressure. Temporal arteritis is another possibility. Tension headaches too cause a bulging vein at the temple, soreness with headaches. It could also be due to nerve compression very high up in the cervical vertebra. Excess alcohol intake, partial seizures and low calcium levels all cause headaches and tingling.
Hope this helps. Do discuss this with your doctor.  Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
