For The Past Week Experienced Fatigue , Dull Pain In
Question: for the past week experienced fatigue, dull pain in the center of the chest that comes and goes, neck tired, stiffness in arms. sore throat feels like a lump in throat, tingling on face and arms. Had similar symptoms 4 years ago and had all tests done including stress echo and ct scan and lung function no issues found. Had a physical 2 years ago all was normal. I have scheduled a physical with a new doctor due to a job change l in 2 weeks. Wondering if I should wait for that or see the doctor sooner. Have a history of severe anxiety and been hospitalized twice for that wondering if it's all anxiety as well
Brief Answer:
You can wait
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If you have severe anxiety issues that is a emotional stress that can manifest as bodily symptoms.
You are very young so the chances of major problems are mild to moderate. Since you had negative tests in the past 4 years I would suggest to wait.
Get a counseling done or meet a psychologist if they are available quickly.
You need constant counselling going by the way you had described here.
Let me know if there are any pressing questions and I can address them promptly.
