For the past year and a half it has felt like I'm slowly wasting away and dying. I have some good days when I seem to feel okay but they've become few and far between. I have obviously developed a pretty severe hypochondria and I have just started to see a therapist to try and address that, but the physical symptoms persist. During this time I have seen multiple doctors and have had many different tests done, all normal. Now I feel like the boy who cried wolf. I was so sure that something was wrong, and hoped they might find it, but there was nothing. Now I'm still certain there is something very serious going on, but I feel like I've exhausted the medical services available to me. Understandably, I think it's difficult for a doctor to taoe my concerns seriously, and I'm too embarrassed to visit anymore.
Current symptoms: recurring feeling of pressure in head, (temples and sides); pressure in nose; a blocked nostril; a mass about the size of a golf ball deep in back of neck left side close to spine; thickened bumpy tissue in back of mouth/start of throat that has grown (cannot see but can feel with tongue); throat frequently feels raw; two firm quarter+ sized masses below chin (assuming enlarged submandibular saliva glands); other smaller firm lumps in neck; thickened, discolored patches of skin at base of neck and under armpits; numerous firm pea-sized lumps in both breasts and trailing into armpits; firm lumps felt in groin; numerous new raised red spots all over skin with crater; and other more general symptoms.
I'm 30 y/o m, feels like I'm venting here, don't know if this is the appropriate place for this but I'm at my wits end, I feel like if I bring anything up with my doctor he does the bare minimum to placate me and convince me I don't have cancer.
Should I seek a second opinion? At this point the more specific symptoms seem so obvious they couldn't be missed if a doctor is willing to look closely. And I also struggle to differentiate between what is a legitimate concern or just my illness anxiety going into hyperdrive. I have literally been convinced I have cancer the last year and a half, even before there was any obvious indicator. Intuitively, body just did not feel right.
I plan to continue seeimg therapist to try and address the anxiety and its causes, but these physical symptoms are more than I can ignore.
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
