Hi everyone,

Here's what's happening. I am 24 years old, with pretty good health. The only health issue that I have had was two ovarian tumors that claimed both ovaries, plus a few cycles of chemo in 1999. Since then I have been fine, I have surgical menopause though. Which I was put on birth control to have mensturation. Which I have to be honest . I wasn't taking my meds. I started taking them in June, after a diagnosis of osteopenia. Scared me so much that I started taking it. I received my menstural period. Then took a break. And that's when I started having weird symptoms. It started on June 28. I was about to eat a bowl of soup, and I felt really lightheaded, and off balance. My throat felt tingly, like almost numb.Where it felt like I couldn't swallow. After that happened I was really shaky. I still felt pretty jittery and off balance. The next day on my way to work, walking to the bus stop, I felt off balance, and it felt like the ground was moving upward. I turned back home and went to the ER.

When I got to the ER, after being examined the Dr stated that I had sinus fullness and a little liquid in the ear. I was sent home on Claritin & Nasonex.It didn't work. I continued to feel off balance and dizzy, also my heart feels like it's skipping beats. I started to have diarrhea and nausea, I would make myself vomit. Plus, I wouldn't eat, because I started feeling sick, so I lost a few pounds( I was just working on a half cup of Gingerale & 5 crackers all day)Because I felt sick when I ate. The worst symptom was when I started feeling a tingly,buzzing sensation in my face, hands, stomach, legs, feet, and back. Sometimes the sensation would even go into my tongue. Honestly, I thought I had a brain tumor. Monday, I was back in the ER. They sent me home on Antivert for the dizziness, I took it for 2 days but didn't like the side effects. I went to my PCP, she had me have a CBC with differential, TSH, Rheum (something) Lipids, Amylase. I had a CT Scan, and stool culture. Everything came back negative. She diagnosed it as Anxiety, because of the symptoms, and my heart rate was 114 when they checked it. She also ref me to a Neuro. The Neuro examined me, she checked my eyes, reflexes, did vibrations on my feet, she poked me with things on my hands, feet. She even checked my balance. Everything was normal. She told me to f/up in 2 months and put me on Ativan, and she'll send me for an EMG(which hasn't been done yet) just to relax me. I don't want to take the Ativan, so I have been trying to deal with this on my own. But I am still having the tingling,buzzing sensations in my face, hands, legs, feet, back. I'm now also having very small muscle twitches that last 1-2 seconds. Plus, a crawly feeling and electric feeling in my shoulders. Also headches and skipping heart beats, and a little off balance.I'm freaking out that I may have MS or Neuropathy. My stomach is bothering me a little too. I don't know if I'm bringing on these symptoms, but I'm scared. Can anxiety cause tingling? Sometimes, I just have those sensations, and I don't feel anxious. Can it last for hours? I'm sorry I wrote a whole story, I'm just scared. Can these symptoms be related to me stopping the hormones again?
I have been under alot of stress for about a year now.Let me be honest, I'm always stressing. I live in a pretty bad neighborhood, and want to move my family & myself out. Plus I'm starting school in September for Nursing. I've been depressed for a while too. Right now, as I'm typing I'm shaking my legs, and I'm having electric feeling in my left shoulder. I've been diagnosing myself with all types of things, I think that is making everything worse. I keep examining my face in the mirror, and poking my feet with things, to see if I lost sensation. I keep searching the web,looking up Neuropathy, and MS. Just early in June before these symptoms started I was feeling great. Can all of these symptoms be anxiety and stress related?
