weird symptoms

[bullbishop77]

I hope some one can help me My name is joe i am 31 years old. june-13-2005 I was at work when my heart started beating super fast and it felt like i was going to faint . I tried to calm myself down but nothing would work so i went home . I felt exhausted i slept for 13 hours straight  when i woke up i felt fine . So i went to see my doctor cause i thought i had a heart attack !! My doctor did all kinds of test + echo and heart moniter everything looked ok . So i was stumped they told me it was just anixety . So i felt better but then these attacks started back up again but even more intense it felt like a electrical shock my whole body would go numb . Then in aug-10-2005 my ears started feeling weird and making this deep toned clicking noise. But only when i touch my temple or side of my head and then my eyes started getting blurry and they feel sore all the time especially when i close my eyes they feel really hot. I have alot of fatigue  and just dont feel like doing the things i used to do . My joints feel more stift than they used to especially my neck my thinking can feel foggy . And now  it 1-22-2009 and i still have all symptoms listed above + NOW IM STARTING TO FEEL DIZZY TO  does anybody know what this could be.  thanks joe !!!

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
Anxiety can explain a multitude of physical symptoms which cannot be attributed to any cause. However, before labeling anxiety as the cause of the symptoms one must get thoroughly investigated. In your case please get your thyroid functions, electrolytes and blood sugar tested. Also you should look into Giant Cell Arteritis affecting major vessels of the body and brain, along with temporal arteritis.
Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage without examining you. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

wow,sounds like you have some major anxiety symptoms going on,,i have been there,,done that my friend,,and you are having all the classic stress/anxiety symptoms,and the more you think your dieing or having a heart attack,,the worse it will be,,you have to either get on some meds,,,,learn to calm down,,watch your breathing,,and know nothing is wrong with you or its going to consume you!!!
you dont even have to know you have anxiety,,,you just one day have it!!!
your body deals with all the outside stimuli in weard ways,and thats what you got going on!
