Hello all.. Nice to have a forum like this ! I myself, suffer from anxiety and am considered a hypchondriac.. I guess it all started just before the summer I would experience stomach aches for 2 weeks and pain behind my left shoulder blade after going out and drinking with friends.. I had an EGD done and abdominal ultrasound which both came back normal, Dr. said this was all related to acid reflux and back spasms , 2 seperate problems.. The stomach ache subsided but now I'm dealing with some pressure under my left rib , and weakness in my left arm.. I had an xray and CT scan with contrast done, and everything came back normal.. I still get the pressure/tickling feeling but now I also get some weakness in my left leg as well.. I had a CBC blood count done which came back normal. I also experience burning after urination from time to time as well as eye irritation (constantly glassy, sometimes red) .. overall fatigue.. but the doctor's can't find anything wrong with me.. my family and dr. say this is related to anxiety. I spend way too much time of medical message boards.. Im 24 and was in great health prior to all these problems.. I just want to get back to living a normal life but something always holds me back.. any suggestions? Thanks for reading this!
