Symptoms for a month, no diagnosis
Posted , 3 users are following.
I have been experiencing quite a few different symptoms over the last month or so and have been completely miserable. I have been to multiple doctors, the ER twice, and lots of specialists and don't know what to do next. I am hoping to find someone who has gone through something similar who finally figured it out!
July 1-10 symptoms:
Fatigue
Throat tightness
July 11-18
Continuation of previous symptoms
Woke up on fire with no fever every other night
Night sweats
Numbness in arm (would come and go, typically here during the night)
Funny feeling in chest, but not pain
White dots in throat
Felt food was stuck in my throat
July 19-current
Continuation of previous symptoms
Throat burning
Discomfort in shoulder
Stomach hard and feels bloated
Lost 20lbs by this point
Continuing extreme fatigue
A few nights woke up with an acid reflux like feeling in my throat
Resting heart rate lowered 15 bpm over the month
As I mentioned, I went to the ER two times getting an EKG both times thinking I was having a heart attack. I also had a stress test conducted a few days later - all coming back normal. I also had multiple blood tests and nothing stuck out as the problem based on all the blood tests conducted. Potassium came back slightly low, white blood cell count slightly higher than normal (not much though), and my sedimentation rate came back slightly higher as well. My doctor is treating me for GERD but I haven't had any symptom relief after 2-3 weeks treatment and eating very basic foods.
Outside of that, nothing seems abnormal. I am at loss for what to try next and I am miserable. I am hoping that someone has gone through and figured out something that appears similar to my situation. Also worth noting I am a 30 yr old male. I appreciate any help/feedback you may be able to provide! Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I would say it's anxiety. You might not think it is, but it could be. The only thing that doesn't sound like anxiety is the white spots on the throat. That could just be food. I suffer from anxiety and get that feeling in my chest often. I sometimes get really hot sweats where I feel roasting.
I honestly think it's anxiety. Explain to your doctor and he will help. If it was serious you'd have not been been giving all clear from hospital.

You may be being exposed to mold. Please look up CIRS, Biotoxin Illness. Lyme disease has many similar symptoms as well.

This is very helpful! A few months back we discovered a leak in the roof that caused some black mold in our garage and wall of the garage that connects to our home. We have been fighting with our landlord to get it fixed, and they have yet to fix it. This may as well be the issue. I appreciate the feedback and will approach my Dr about this possibility.
