is it really anxiety ?!

hey everyone , first i would like to thank you all for your effort and support on this forum
the second thing is , i'm not sure if is it anxiety
it all started before collage final exams , i got like a seizure i guess , i just couldn't sleep and my body kept moving when i try to sleep , i felt like i wake up falling everytime i try to sleep and i had a massive headache and dizzy feeling and i feel sick and felt like my heart is aching like a needle is hitting it but it wasn't a strong feeling i made it through mostly anyway it was a one time thing i went to a hospital they checked my blood pressure it was fine so the doctor told me its mostly anxiety , the moment i was in the hospital i felt Relieved when i left the hospital i was back to feeling dizzy and i had an achy feeling and a headache and i started having stomic issues like sometimes diarrhea and sometimes constipation and i felt like this for a while like two or 3 weeks until my sstomic started to really hurt and i puked once so i went to the hospital again they said it was "Intestinal catarrh" so i took a med for sometime and my stomic is gone better .. but the headache and dizzy feeling were still there i couldn't put up with it forever so i went to a (ear-nose-throat) doctor he couldn't find anything wrong yet he put me on Anti-inflammatories , but it didn't help at all .. i went to a internist doctor he told me that i got tension headache and i should give my mind a rest sometimes i don't know if he meant anxiety by that or not anyway he put me on Betahistine and suddenly no more headaches or dizzness . and i felt fine for a while , but still sometimes .. alot of times actually i get this achy feeling and numb feeling in my left hand sometimes i sleep on it so i try to convince myself that's why and sometimes i hear like a ringing sound in my left ear or my right ear i tried to search online i found that i fit anxiety perfectly but i don't know what to do i can't focus as hard as i used to i don't know if i would live with that achy feeling for ever and i had a blood test the first time i went to the hospital it went out fine ,and one more thing i wake up alot at night cold sweat strange achy feeling , sometimes when i wake up i feel like i lost my memory , and sometimes i wake up and i feel like my mind is in a loop of thoughts and i can't stop my mind and i get really dizzy and achy,and everytime i feel like i'm under pressure that achy feeling goes really bad
i try to convince myself its anxiety i mean it sound like it , but i'm afraid if its a tumor or cancer or something bad and doctors can't tell , i live in a country with not so good doctors around , so yeah hope to hear a good opinion on my matter ,and i'm 19 ,and its been about 2 month since the first time i felt that way thanks anyway

Hi A.K. and welcome!

I am so sorry to hear that you are currently going through all of this.  These symptoms can be unbearable, and very scary.

It sounds as if you have had some pretty comprehensive tests.  Also given your age, and the fact that you do sound like you are consumed with worry and under a fair amount of stress...this is likely anxiety that you are dealing with.

There are quite a few self-help steps that can be taken to educate yourself about anxiety and its physical effects...and how to reduce both!

Below are some great links to get you started!  Keep posting with us as well for support.  It is amazing how just reaching out and talking with others who struggle similarly can help.:)

Read through these coping skill sites, put them to use...and keep posting!

Please know you are not alone. So many deal with anxiety in a daily basis and fear for the worse and we think it is going I kill us. We need to help each other and spread the word to the world that anxiety is real and so many suffer from it- I have had anxiety since I was 20
and now I am 32. It will come in go for the test of my life and I have accepted that. Medication helps me some. My hope is that I can help others.

I have felt heart flutters palpitations, left arm tingles, numbness, aches
In chest and back, woke up from sleep in a panic, felt sense of doom or having a heart attack. I have learned through therapy that I'm not alone and that u will be ok. Learning simple
Life coping skills has really helped. Staying in the present and meditating has been a huge help for me on a daily basis.

I wish you peace and strength- know you are not alone.

thank you all once again , i know this might be coming too late but i keep reading about strokes and cancers and tumors and it really freaks me out , if there is an exact course would you recommend me ?

hi and welcome , i go through the samething
