Hello,
I'm fairly worried that something is wrong with me. I've been a hypochondriac for a while now. I'm 24 years old, and have already been convinced of colon cancer, and have received two colonoscopies (all clear) I've also been convinced of so many other diseases like, leukemia, lymphoma, etc.
I've had only 2 panic attacks and I am pretty stressed out and anxious most days.
My new worry is either MS or Brain Cancer. For the past month I've had so much muscle twitching. First it started in my eyelid. It twitched on and off all day for weeks. Then it moved to my lips, them back to my eyelid. I also get random twitches all over my body. This has been going on for a month. Some days are better than others. But I twitch everyday.
I know it could be my stress and anxiety. I also drink 2 cups of coffee a day. But I've been like this for a long time and the twitching is just now starting.
I have also had this strange almost lightheaded feeling for the past week. Not so much like I'm dizzy or the room is spinning. But just lightheaded and really out of it and kind of unsteady. I'm finding it hard to concentrate on anything. I'm having a hard time gathering my thoughts and I just feel depressed. I'm so worried I have MS or a Brain tumor.
Do you think is is related to those, or could it be my anxiety and stress? I feel weird about it because I wasn't that stressed until the symptoms came on.
Like a natural hypochondriac, I can't believe this is due to anything but a terrible disease.
