If the ENT and gastro reports are okay,
the next step is consulting a neurologist.
If the neurologist does not confirm nerve
damage (neuropathy), the only possibility
left is hypochondria.
Hypochondria is a kind of anxiety disorder
where the patient thinks and feels that he
has a disease even if there is nothing
wrong with him.
Your medical history (depression and
anxiety attacks) tells me that
hypochondria is very likely, in your case.
