anxiety or ms?

i'm 36 years old and for the last year i've been having some alien and wierd feelings of fear and anxiety many times a day ,i also have short term memory sometimes ,i went to my familly doctor and she ordered me an mri and it came out with a possibility of ms ,i haven't seen my neurolgist yet but the symptoms i experience everyday point to anxiety disorder .so my question is how can i know if it's anxiety disorder or ms?

Hi.

Could you tell us the actual results of your MRI? Do you have any other symptoms that could be related to MS?

Short term memory loss, with fear and anxiety, by themselves, are not indicative of MS. Your symptoms might, indeed, be related to an anxiety disorder.

You could opt to consult a therapist to assess these symptoms.

Good luck.
