Hi everyone I am new to this forum and I just wanted to share my story and get everyone thoughts and opinions.... sorry if this is lengthy...
About 5 months ago is when this all started.. i was very close to graduating college and just finishing up doing my practicum for teaching. When i started to get random dizzy spells. At this time I did not think to much of it.. until one day i got the random dizzy spell with my heart pounding the chills and diarrhea :sick0002: after that my life has changed for good... since then i have had a huge amounts of tests ( i will list my tests below) i also have had many many many symptoms which i will also list below. i have been experiencing panic attacks and i CONSTANTLY worry :dazed: of course i fear the worst such as a brain aneurysm, MS, cancer, stroke, that i have POTS disorder. Lyme disease ...basically anything i worry about having.... if i haven't mentioned i am a 20 year old female who previously to this was very healthy and played sports for 9 years... Please someone help!!
.... basically I just want to know if this could be anxiety and if anxiety can really cause all of this since all the doctors and er people seem to think it is..??
Tests i have had done:
CT scan of head
sonogram of neck
CT scan of neck with contrast
Chest Xray

4 OR 5 ekg's
echocardigram
24 hr holter monitor
sonogram of my pancreas
sonogram of my gallbladder
2 pelvic sonograms
multiple rounds of blood work to check thyroid, complete blood count, electrolytes, kidney function, and a lot of other things.
I have had urine test and stool cultures and probably other test i am forgetting...
Symptoms:

dizzy/light headed
off balance
floaters in eye
seeing flashes in eyes
blurry vision
seeing black spots (not floaters)
colored streaks
tunnel vision
hot flashes
