I need someone to please tell me what could possibly be wrong with me health-wise. No doctor I have seen has been able to diagnose me with anything that could encorporate all of my symptoms, in fact, only one symptom has been accounted for, and the diagnosis was plausible at best.
For the past 6 months, I have been having strange and seemingly un-realted symptoms of illness, which are very disturbing, and is causing me EXTREME anxiety about the state of my well-being. I am not quite a hypochondriact, but I worry about my well being often, these days.
Let me explain.
It started in September, when one night I had an extreme feeling of burning in the back of my neck/shoulders, and then vomited profusely. Shortly after (5 minutes), my heart started beating extremely fast and strong, too strong to be comfortable. I began to feel as if my head was expanding in all directions, and I felt almost as if all my thoughts disappeared, I felt flat, like paper. It felt as if I was in some serious physical or mental danger, so I called an ambulance, and went to the hostpital. I told them my symptoms, and they didn't seem to think it was very serious. They took my blood pressure and took some simple blood tests. This was after my symptoms had started deminishing, and I felt as if I was too late to catch the cause of this thing.
Everything was fine for about 2 weeks, until one morning I was watching TV, about 5 minutes after eating my breakfast. I got an intense dizzyness, followed immediately by a burning sensation all over my limbs. This went on for 30 minutes, before I couldn't take anymore, and decided to go to my porch for some fresh air. Immediately after opening the door, I felt a sting in my chest, on both sides. It lasted for about 30 seconds, and then fluctuated over the next 3 hours. The feelings never got intense enough for me to think about going to the hospital or my doctor. I tried to nap it off, but after laying down for around 10 minutes, I vomited, and then was able to sleep. I woke up later, very physically exhausted.
From then (Beginning of October) until the night before Christmas I was completely comfortable, and had no re-occurrences of these symptoms. On Christmas eve, I started to feel a stabbing pain in the area of my heart, and my breathing felt very labored. I started to get a cold sweat, and was extremely naucious, and recognized these to be the symptoms of a heart attack. I thought to myself, I am only 19 years old, how could I have a heart attack or heart condition? I am very healthy aside from the fact that I smoke, and do alot of cardio excercises. What is happening.
I called 811 (health info) and told them my symptoms, they obviously thought it was serious, since they did not even ask me if I wanted paramedics sent, they just sent them to my house. When I got to the hospital, they could not find anything apparently wrong with me, and the doctor's only explanation was that I had muscle pains in my chest, which he concluded by pressing on my chest, and when I told him that it hurt when he did that, he assumed the problem was muscle pain. He gave me painkillers. I have taken them 6 times, and they never worked.
I might add that since the previously stated incident, I have had fluctuating abdominal pains, almost every hour of the day. And I frequently get light-headed and feel as if my brain is melting (this is a very uncomfortable feeling, I dont know how else to explain it).
In the past two days, I have been having HORRIBLE lower abdominal pains, and if they are not present, it just feels as if something is gnawing at my insides. I thought maybe this was an ulcer, or a nervous stomach, but these pains are not always in my stomach region. Sometimes I get similar pains on the sides of my ribs.
I also feel the distinct feeling that large worm-type objects are sinking into my back at moments, this is especially frightening. It makes me think I am going crazy. Another mental symptom is that my thoughts are not fluid, and I do not hear them as my voicem instead it's the voice of a "nerdy teenager". They are still the same thoughts, and I am not having delusions or hallucinations, but I am still deeply disturbed by this. I ask myself, "Am I going crazy!?".
As I write this, I am struggling to think. I have a horrible short-term memory all of a sudden (the past 2 days) and I have tasted rancid tastes in my mouth (blood/vomit/even the taste of soap). And have noticed dots of red when I blow my nose.
I am extremely disturbed by all of this, and I am currently in-between doctors, meaning the only place I can go for any information is the emergency room, and I have no urgent reason to take a trip there as of now.
Please, if anyone has any information as to what this may be, It would help me know what to ask my next doctor about, or someone at the hospital, should i need to go there (God forbid).
I can't stress enough how much disturbance this is bringing me, and I feel as if I am dying of something slowly. I desperately need an answer.
