Test result all normal must be Anxiety

Hi Scott

Great to hear you got the all clear from your MRI and MRA scans. Anxiety causes a lot of different symptoms and can mimic other illnesses and would recommend you speak to your doctor again and tell them how you are feeling and see what they say. I have GAD and it was not correctly diagnosed until I was sent to se a psychiatrist at my local mental health team. I hope you find an answer soon and know we are here to support you.

GAD interesting.....I usually have such high pain tolerance and use to only go to Dr. when on my death bed. I never worried about being sick or dying. Always thought I was super immune haha. Now all of a sudden GAD? It just blows my mind. I guess I just need to accept it, because the more I deny it the more I think something serious is wrong. Im just so pissed I cant just fight this off like a cold. So would my next step be a psychiatrist? I always think what if they missed something on one the tests. I want my life back NOW. If this is anxiety I can not believe how strong it is.

thanks the alcohol was just a once in a moon thing........but thanks

For all you who dont know----3 months and counting.....

Im a 29yrs old male. At 17yrs old I had a almost passing out spell with lightheaded symptoms for two months. They only tested my heart at that time and it was normal. One day I was at home and noticed that all symptoms were gone!!! Those two months sucked but I felt better. I still thought something was wrong but I was going to enjoy life while I had it. Well about 8 years later after a break up from a long relationship and living in a strange city alone my symptoms came back. These were less intense as when I was 17 but lasted long about four months. I got a new job and started moving in with a roommate and while I was moving I noticed I felt so much better!! Again gone but I still thought dang something is wrong inside lets again start enjoying life as much as possible while I can. This second battle I was able to still run twice a day and workout with weights. I never went to doctors. Now Im 29 yrs and at the end of April this year I was got married. My parents whom are from Maine were down here as well as all my family whom I have not seen in 8 years. It was the greatest week ever. Anyway when everyone left I felt very down and depressed and all of a sudden i felt like I was going to pass out. This time I went to doctors. I have had every test I think possible. Let it be known that I can not run or workout like I use to which scares that crap out of me. I go to gym still by the intensity level changes per day. I have had my heart checked (echo and ekg) I have gone to a cardiologist whom says IM NOT A HEART patient. Through out this whole exp. my blood pressure has gone from 119/60 - 150/90. My blood pressure has always been up at the doctors and they always say its white coat but Im not sure it is. I have also had a MRI and MRA with contrast which were both normal. I have had blood test which were normal and also 24hr urinalysis which was normal. I have seen a ENT which was normal. The only thing we can think of is either GAD or hypertension? The thing is with the hypertension is that some nurses get it normal and others get it high so ***? Some days my symptoms are better other days bad. Not so much lightheaded all the time just out of it with burst of lightheaded sensations sometimes throughout day. Sometimes it feels like Im leaning to one side. July 17-20th I felt good and took a 15hr road trip. I felt pretty good with some major ear popping traveling through the mountains that made me a bit dizzy. I had to equalize a lot. I played 4 hrs of paintball and felt very tired but good. I think I was tired due to playing after driving 15hrs. I was with friends and when I was talking with them and messing around I felt good. I went to a red sox game and right when I sat down I felt odd again. I started feeling good and decided to have a few beers. I felt great but then I felt real dizzy. I think it was me getting buzzed and it made my body freak out. So after this trip I thought I was on the road to recovery but when I got home I had a bad day and felt very odd all day (lightheaded). It is mostly just spurts of 1-2 second sensations in head. But I think about it all day. I was having major fullness and pressure in head but that symptoms has mostly gone away. I still get it slightly. I also get some ringing in ear on one side that is quick but intense. At the start of all this I was having heart palpitations (skip beat followed by strong hard beat). That has totally gone away:) Thank god. I was also abusing caffeine for past year. I stopped when this started (one cup espresso a day). I was consuming sugar free energy drinks supplements with caffeine and coffee with two shots of espresso a day. I guessing around 1500-2000mg a day of caffeine. So do you think I should get treated for hypertension? Any more test I should do? GHD ? see psychiatrist? I have a two year old and want my life back NOW!
