Anxiety or Spine problem?
It all started with my stomach after dinner one night, my stomach locked up like it was not moving or digesting my food, had extreme cramping on the left side lower small intestinal area,constant bloating and gas it was so bad that I could'nt go to work for a month, lower back pains come and go during this month,stools and gas smelled awful very affensive,I had a Colonoscopy and EGD done, all normal findings, had a stool sample done because I was concerned about the smell and constant yellow and green color, findings?.. (only a little blood which cleared up), had a gluten tolerance test done results?.. (negative).I was in ER twice and after several blood and two CT scan of abdominal area was told that I was suffering from (Anxiety Disorder), the next month my stomach symtoms subsided and my head started to get sharp stinging pains from the top of my nose to the top of my head every 3 to 4 sec. then the dizziness and off balance feeling started, went into ER again two CT scan of the brain and every blood test known to man done, result?... (Anxiety Disorder), the dizziness continues and now weakness in legs and arms and when sleeping my fingers and toes are numb, I go to see my primary doc. she orders a brain MRI and puts me on paxil, results from MRI?... (normal), Im not seeing any response to the paxil except for head aches and stomach pains. Dizziness, weakness and numbness continue, my neck is stiff and cracking all the time , lower back pinching and pains, I see my primary again and she switched me to Effexor, seeing a little improvement but not much, Ativan helps a little , cant sleep very long because I wake to a feeling like im falling off the bed or moving and my neck and troat feel stiff like the blood isnt getting to my head or like im choking. Is anyone experencing this? Is this really Anxiety??? Will it ever end ??? I havnt been to work in 2 months and im losing my house and my family is worried, can anyone help me??
