hey guys hope everyone is okay. i did not know where to post so do apologise if its in the wrong area. I had a very stressful time last 12 months as went through a divorce and other issues. I am 25 year old male and have been suffering with so many symptoms last 5 months. my symptoms listed below:

  • head pain/brain fog/heavy head
  • visual disturbance/poor vision at night
  • blocked nose and ears (also ears ringing)
  • lump in throat/swelling in throat
  • chest pain
  • heart rate is slower
  • stomach issues/don't feel urge to go
  • pain in right side of pelvis
  • pain in testicle
  • numb and tingling feeling in hands, arms and legs
  • feverish and tired/night sweats/insomnia

also here is the tests i have had done:

  • blood tests: thyroid function test, vitamin D level, serum ferritin, liver function test, urea and electrolytes, bone profile, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, differential white cell count, full blood count - all normal.
  • 2x testicle examination all normal.
  • 1x chest X-ray all normal.
  • 1x eye test all normal.
  • 3x blood pressure all normal.
  • 1x anal examination all normal.
  • 1x ultrasound for testicles all normal.
  • 1x ultrasound urinary tract all normal.
  • 1x ct scan chest all normal.
  • 1x ct scan abdomen all normal.
  • 1x ct scan pelvis all normal.
  • 1x head mri all normal.
  • strangely when i feel feverish i check my temperature which is always in normal range.

my doctor keeps saying it is due to my anxiety which i know i am an anxious person however i just worry if it is something sinister like cancer. sorry if i have offended anyone and thank you guys in advance.

    anyone else experienced anxiety with so many physical symptoms and no answer as to why you are feeling like this?

      yep. more times than I can count! I’ve had anxiety for over 30 years. Need to retrain my mind to think differently. When I was in my late 20s, I came down with about 10 scary symptoms suddenly. I thought I had MS. Well I did not have that . In fact there was actually no diagnosis because nothing was found. Very frustrating.

    Looking at your test results I think the chance that you have cancer is zero. Anxiety can cause a wide range of unpleasant physical symptoms. You really need to understand what is going on to get on top of this. It isn't obvious. I could recommend a helpful book on this if you message me.

      hey mike thanks for the reply and giving opinion on test results it is appreciated. would you recommend i get a colonscopy and any other tests or would that of showed on ct scan? i ask because i feel awful everyday and tired plus have stomach issues. also even though i eat good body does not let me know when im hungry or thirsty. plus cant smell anything. very strange. aldo how do i send private message?

      I am not a doctor but I can't believe you have any serious problem after all those tests. If you can't smell anything have you been checked for covid? I don't think the private message is possible anymore.
