I have been to a neurologist regarding pain and subjective numbness (in bouts) on my left side only. Muscle twitching on left side is also prominent. I have been cleared of MS, my EEG came back abnormal (doctor for some reason wanted to test for seizures due to another symptom - strange recurrent smell.) I have called about the abnormal results, three times and no call back. Now, I am experiencing "bouts" where I feel exhausted - experience chest pain and stomach upset, difficulty eating (food seems to go down slowly and laboriously), and severe shortness of breath. This may last two days or a little longer, and I will feel better again for a couple days. I also experience pain and stiffness in hands, and sometimes bladder issues (feels like I have to pee, but little comes out) and muscle tension. I also sometimes get electric shock like sensations which can cause a muscle spasm - but only during these "bouts." I am also worried this could be something other than neurological pain - but doctors are baffled, and no one has indicated I go to a cardiologist or anything. I have woken up in the middle of the night gasping for breath, but this has resolved since I've been taking CBD oil at night. My thyroid levels are normal and I have been tested for lyme disease. My biggest complaint is the chronic leg pain and muscle twitching, but I am not a fan of the chest pain and exhaustion. Working like this is becoming difficult. If anyone has any idea what this could be, I'd really appreciate your input!

    Keep calling your doctor to get your results; emphasize your worries. Ask for an nerve conduction test.Maybe you are having panic attacks because of your worries. Shortness of breath and chest pain may suggest this.Stress can cause gut distress too and can cause chest pain which is a common symptom of reflux.
