I think I’m dying
This all started on the 13th of January My symptoms started with me thinking I was sick. I came back from my friends house and her siblings were sick so I thought I was sick..turns out I wasn’t, then I had my birthday party coming up I was stressed I was worried about everything. I started not to feel like myself on the 15th of January. I was like ah maybe it’s just because I’m stressed it’ll pass by after my birthday and it didn’t. I was scared thinking I was gonna die thinking I’m not ok feeling shaky everything I went to the ER for the first time on the 14th and I got an ECG they said it’s normal everything they tested my blood for idk what they said everything looks normal they said I’m gonna be okay and they gave me and anxiety med and it helped so much I felt so much better, then a day or two goes by and I’m just the same way again I’m how I was before I got the pill, I was scared again worrying everything. I didn’t know what to do because I thought I was fine and I thought it was just anxiety. Through the 13th-18th, I thought that I was just stressed and I thought that maybe it’s just my birthday party stressing me out and it turns out that it wasn’t. I gave it a couple days after my birthday party to see what was gonna happen and it got worse, I stayed with my mom for 3-4 days 2 weeks in a row and I had trouble breathing I was shaking went to the er for the second time, they said I was fine took my blood said everything is normal went home to her house and still felt the symptoms. But everything went away for a day or 2, then it all came back I was nervous I was calling my mom it got to the point where I couldn’t take it anymore. I got diagnosed for the 4th time going to the ER with GERD bc my stomach was swollen and it hurt and it hurt to touch and I got tested for GERD they said it could be GERD so I got proscribed pills for GERD and I haven’t taken them wich I should but yeah. That was my 4th time going to the ER. At some point I thought I was gonna have a stroke because there was numbness on one side of my body and I went it for that, my brain was numb on one side my arm and my leg were numb. I got a CT scan they said everything’s normal my brain’s normal that was my 3rd time going. I thought I was dying I still think I am I keep worrying I don’t feel like myself I feel confsued I feel like I lost myself I’m just scared and I don’t know what to do, I’ve never felt this way before. I don’t have the answers I need and I just need a second opinion other than my primary doctor I have no hope anymore and I’m at the point to where I don’t know what to do. I know I’m not myself I know there is something wrong with me because the only person who knows my own body is me. I think something is wrong with me and I just don’t know what to do anymore. One of my pupils will be slightly bigger than the other. I’ll have pain in my right eye like a cluster headache on one side but it’s has happend to both side at different times. Pain above and behind my right eye right eye is a bigger pupil, numbness on right side of face, I HAD chest pain felt like I pulled a muscle and it went away and it hurt and I thought something was wrong with my heart but doctors said I was fine. brining sensation above eye in forehead, shakiness, scared,rapid heart beat sometimes, diziness, tingling in hands, feeling like I’m gonna pass out,I have Pain above and behind one eye. I also have

I suffer from anxiety and acid reflux as well. For my anxiety I take Passion Flower capsules during the day and Valerian Root capsules at night. And I limit my caffeine intake.
Get an emergency brain check up -MRI ... everything is starting from there ! Best of luck !
I experienced something very similar. In the end, after endless testing, I was put on a long-term anxiety medication and started regular therapy sessions which helped me tremendously. We don't realize how mental health issues can affect our physical being. There are many resources and options out there. You may need to go through some trial and error to find what works best, but it is worth it in the end.
I'm so sorry you're going through this! I am not a medical professional and don't know what's happening - but I just wanted to add one possibility: when I get migraines, I also experience numbness on one side of my face/body. I don't think that explains all your symptoms, but it might explain some! I hope you find answers/relief soon!

Hi Dearest
Consider psychological evaluation. It might be anxiety or panic attacks. I have experienced them and learned some coping strategies that keeps my mind busy.

1 ReactionI'm sending you viral hugs and support as you navigate these challenging emotions and potential health concerns. It's completely understandable to feel scared when seeking medical attention, only to be told you're in good health despite your symptoms.
Your diligence in journaling your symptoms, ER visits, and medical tests is truly impressive - you're taking empowered steps towards uncovering the root cause.
Have you considered the potential connection between your diet, emotional and physical health? As we age, our digestive systems evolve, and certain foods can impact our mental and physical well-being.
Additionally, extensive research has shown that there is a correlation between food additives/preservatives and mental and physical health.
A growing body of studies suggests that the ingestion of specific food additives can disrupt "neurotransmitters and the hippocampus, inducing neuroinflammation and gut microbiota dysbiosis, which can lead to anxiety and depression."
I've discovered the profound impact that food, medicine, drinks, and being a caregiver can have on our wellbeing. When I faced a debilitating digestive issue that left me in chronic pain, even from something as simple as drinking broth.
I took empowerment over my health by using a food, drink, and medicine journal. This tool proved invaluable in reclaiming my health, especially when medical professionals were struggling to diagnose me and relying on medications and costly tests.
Today, journaling remains a vital component of my wellness strategy, enabling me to make informed choices and maintain optimal health.
Personally, I find daily prayer to be the ultimate source of strength that calms my deepest fears, keeps me anchored in peace, and nurtures a heart filled with joy, ultimately empowering me to triumph over humanity's universal struggles with anxiety, tears, and the fear of dying that we all face from time to time, which can otherwise erode mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. 🙏
I encourage you to tap into your inner strength, fueled by self-care, resilience, and faith. Hold onto hope, and not let fear and anxiety consume you. Trust that you possess the inherent faith to conquer and rise into a realm of spiritual, mental, physical, wholeness and serenity. You are strong, capable, and deserving of wellness and peace - don't give up on yourself.
🧐I am aware that we all have a limited time and I choose to maintain my faith in God until I transition to a higher existence beyond this physical body that is undergoing constant transformative aging and wrinkles gradually deteriorating like a slowly melting glacier.🥹
Accumulating wrinkles be dam ! I am in no hurry and will live each day of God's gifted time being thankful finding joy-laughter in my life's rain-showers and rainbow moments.🙌🏼
Viral hugs and prayers to you!
