Anxiety then burning feeling in body

[tigrang]

Hi. I've been to the doctors, 3 different ones, at least 5 times int he past 3 months. It started with anxiety symptoms (sweaty hands, high blood pressure, fast heart rate, headaches, chills, and I'd start to shake). I then began having this burning sensation near the left side of my chest and it began spreading day by day. I got a blood test and it showed Herpes IgG twice what the normal amount was. My doctor put me on Acyclovir. When I finished taking all the pills (15 days) it went away for about 3 days, but slowly came back. Thats where I am today. Today I went to the doctor and I'm going to get a second blood test to see where I'm at. My doctor today also said that I have very little scoliosis. She said that this might be affecting my nerves causing the burning sensation throughout my upper body. I've been tested for thyroid before, but it came back negative.

Another symptom that started is pain in my sides, by my hips on both sides.

As for now, my heart rate and blood pressure are normal. I'm still getting some mild headaches, but nothing unbearable. My only concern now is the burning on my side (and its from inside, not external).

Hi. Thanks for the response. I found that really interesting because I'm on the computer for hours at a time, I have a cell phone in my pocket, and I have a wireless router in the other room. I take a bus to school every day (week day) and theres a radio in the bus. I go to a magnet high school, so there are computers on in every room! I think this may be the cause of my random symptoms. Its like 17 years of my life I have no problem. Then I wake up and for the next 2 months get worse and worse (right now I am a lot better tho, the only problem I have is the burning on my side). I'm going to get the blood test again, within the next two days to see if the Herpes IgG is still there and if it is, start taking another medicine. But for now, I'm going to try being away from electronic stuff.

Thank you.

Yes it is electronic -- and if you get a weird dizzy feeling from it -- it sounds like you might be sensitive to electro magnetic radiation.  

Take a look at electro magnetic sensitivity -- it might help you.  I don't have all the answers -- but roughly it seems that over exposure to radiation found in cell phones (and towers/antennae), cordless phones and all wireless technology (like routers) damages our central nervous system and immune system.  That's when we start to get a host of other symptoms (dizzy, foggy head, ear/throat pain, fast heart nausea, shaky anxious feeling, night sweats, light sleeping problems) -- all things I had but are much much better now since I learned how to deal with the condition.  

I had to learn a lot by myself on the web -- (check out electrosensitivity.org) my doctor was nice but said it was all in my head.  Learn to trust yourself and what makes you feel bad (or good!).
