Hello,
I am an 18 years old male who have turned to this site in hope for help on symptoms that ive been having for several years. One big part of them include frequent episodes of nausea that i get every day and ive been having it since early elementary school. Here i had been diagnosed with ADD and i eventually developed some performance anxiety and had social problems. I ended up with top grades and began the gymnasium. After this everything got worse. I just couldnt keep up and suffered from social and performace related anxiety which made me depressed aswell.
After a bit more than one year i quit my class. At this time i had started to develop more symptoms like lethargy, feeling less ”sharp, clear minded” and i also got weaker erections althought my libido did not change much. I have also had a history of sleep problems and sleep paralysis which got worse.
I took halv a year off from school and begun at an alternative education where im still at now. All my symtoms remain and they seem to have gotten worse til today…
To describe the nausea im having, it comes in episodes that vary in severity and duration (up to hours sometimes). It is experienced in my face and head and does not seem to be related to eating/stomach althought i have stomach discomfort/constipation.
One thing that seems to make the nausea stronger and trigger it is heat and exercise. This along with muscle tension and exhaustion (i get fatiqued easely) has keept me from doing physical exercise except for walking. I just cant endure it. Even though of this i have a toned body, im 187 cm and maybe a bit underweight weighing 71 kg.
Im tired of this and ive been searching for explanations for a long time. It feels like its more to this than anxiety and i feel both physically and mentally limited.
Thank you for any help
