Panic Disorder Meshed With Random Symptoms Posted: 06-13-07 22:48pm
I have have strange problems for over a
year now. The first being sinus/ middle
ear issues that bring on dizzy feelings
which in turn induce anxiety. The second
being right flank discomfort...not pain,
just a strange feeling when i lay down on
my left side, it almost feels like someone
is pushing down on my "love handle" area.
But once again, no real pain, just
discomfort. And occasionally when i take a
deep breath I can feel a pulling sensation
in the same area...when also induces
anxiety. I have also noticed that the
muscle on my right side (external
obliques) seem to be a more developed and
visible than the left side muscles. Would
an overdeveloped muscle produce any
discomfort? I also have a very small,
soft, moveable lump, on my shin, which has
also produced some anxiety. It seems as
though every random problem I find with
myself puts the fear of cancer or another
equally serious disorder into my mind.
Panic attacks follow if I dwell on these
issues, but I can usually talk myself out
of them. I have bloodwork done that tested
my complete blood count, H.Pylori, and
kidney/liver function, that all came back
good, and also a Fecal Occult Blood Test
that was negative. I am not sure what is
causing these damn symptoms, but my panic
disorder is exasporating them
exponentially! What should I do? More
medical tests for peace of mind or zen
buddhism...I'm desperate!
