Hi I am new here. My name is Brian. I have been sick for about 18 years and have always been told I have anxiety, and while I feel I do have anxiety when it comes to seeing doctors and a severe phobia of needle, blood and fainting I am not a nervous person all the time, just in those situations. I have something else going on that I feel has been ignored by all the doctors I have seen through out my life and always just chalked up to anxiety. The past 16 months however there is no doubt in my mind something else is wrong even if doctors I have seen continue to tell me it is anxiety. I will give a brief list of things I have. I am so tired (severely tired) I can not some days do much at all even going to my kitchen is a chore, I have no tolerance for heat, when I feel warm even if others don't feel warm my heart rate goes very high (higher than normal). I have a hard time taking a shower and as gross as this sounds sometimes have to go weeks without one. Even warm water takes a strong toll on me. I feel dizzy when I walk, but my blood pressure is not overly high or low while standing, but standing my heart rate is 120-160. If I stand up too fast I turn pale and sometimes at random times even sitting my face turns pale. I have gastro issues (IBS like), I am very medication sensitive. I took a few ssri's in my life to treat the anxiety they said I have and became very ill and only was told I was looking for side effects and I wasn't. I am on no medications right now at all. I can go from feeling just ok to feeling like I need to be in the ER only to feel ok again hours later. There are so many more symptoms, but I will start with that. In the process of all of this I have lost my friends, my family and my doctors think I am just some hypochondriac. I made a video not to long ago on a hot day and while I completely understand no one here is a doctor I would just like thoughts. I have been checked for anemia and thyroid issues, had a chest x-ray, several EKG's, a 24 hour monitor and an echo. All were normal except sinus tachycardia which they keep telling me is all anxiety. I have even been told by one doctor that I have a phobia of standing..I don't even know what to say to that. What I do know is I feel sick, very sick all the time and just wore out. My sleep is all over the place no matter how I try to sleep the same hours.
