So many different symptoms for the past 2 years. What can this be ???
Posted , 2 users are following.
I am at 37 year old male UK, my symptoms started in 2019 with really bad right sided head pain which lasted for a good few weeks went back and forward to GPs had bloods taking and then got sent to hospital for a CT with contrast of the head. The results came back all normal but my symptoms had manifested into having really bad night sweats,nausea, feeling very light headed/faint like and mild pains in the chest, so then i got referred to a infectious diseases clinic as this all started after i came back from a week in Scotland and i work with raw sewage.
I had a mass of test done in this clinic 10 different blood test, 3 stool sample, 24 hour urine sample, ECG and a CT scan of head and torso with contrast and from all these test everything came back normal.
So back and forward to GPs i went had lots of blood test carried out for the like of Lymes, Weils and H pylori. I had chest X-ray, 2 more ECGs and i paid for a private MRI scan of my head all these test came normal as well.
But my symptoms had gained.
Brain feels fatigue when talking and learning stuff
dizzy/foggy heads and if i turn quickly i seem to get dizzy very easy
feeling like am not in control of my legs but i can move them fine
Migraine type head pains
burning/ itchy feeling in back of head ( lasts for a week or so )
waking up dizzy for short time ( only happened a handful of times)
left blood shot eye ( comes for a couple of days and goes)
nausea mainly in morning
chest pain/ burning in middle of chest( comes for few weeks and goes again)
Arm and leg muscle twitch( mainly when resting)
stiff and achy index and thumb on both hands( comes and goes)
crampy feeling in leg muscle ( only had this a few times)
burning feeling on outside of left calve ( only had this for a few days April 2020)
a feeling like i have a hair in between my big and second toe of my right foot ( lasted about a week)
pains in bottoms of my heels
tingling in my left toes when walking or i tap my toes( lasts about a week)
hands feel like they are wet ( only had this once lasted a few hours)
tingling in hands when clapping or using power tools
random spikes in heart rate only lasts a couple of seconds
feeling pulse in whole body
feeling shaky or nervous
stomach pains
never feel fully rested
muscle fatigue
tinnitus only lasts a couple of seconds
tongue feels arched ( lasted a few days)
So i was referred to a syncope clinic and had a tilt table test, 24 hr heart and blood pressure test and a echo of the heart these all came back normal.
I had a 20 mins phone call appointment with a rheumatology all he seemed to be looking for was arthritis as i have had psoriasis since 2013. so had X ray and echo of hands and feet and bloods done which have all came back normal.
So now i have been referred to neurology which i seen on monday but felt very rushed and all she seemed to focus on was my migraines. I have had some bloods taking and she is going to send me for more scans of the head and neck to rule things out but she does not think anything is going on ?
I have had 2 eye tests, private york food intolerance ( only mild to cows milk so now drink oat milk), private CBT and private Physio ( dry needling and massage).
I have been only sertraline 50mg for months made no difference
lansoprazole 30mg for 4 weeks made no difference
The only thing that has been suggested all the way though this is stress and anxiety ??? but why and how can it cause all this when i was fit and health before this all happened.
If you got this far thanks for reading any body had any of these symptoms ?
thanks

Most of your symptoms are consistent with vagus nerve dysfunction. Could be due to trauma. Anxiety makes it all much worse. Breathing exercises throughout the day could help regulate your nervous system and lessen your symptoms a bit.

Hi , reading your post was such a surprise to me as i thought i was the only person to have loads of weird symptoms and get test coming back normal. I really do not think they believe me most of the time, i can almost see them rolling their eyes when i went to see doctor.
I was told after a number of test and seeing various doctors i had Fibromyalgia but not all pains match it.
I am currently awaiting removal of gall stones after years of acid reflux and indigestion, also a small hiatus hernia. I get most of pains at left side and some doctors say its only gall bladder if pains are right side although quite a few get referred pain on left.
I have had a few ecg's due to chest pains and palpitations and been told i am fine apart from some ectopics from time to time. I paid for echocardiagram as i was so convinced something was wrong.
I am really hoping removing my gall bladder and the 4 stones they found will end most of my pains and symptoms. I have had most of what you get so know how it can get you down at times.
