Not New But I'm Back & Looking For Support :)

Hello all! I fell off the wagon for a bit (still continued to eat as healthy as I could for the most part, just didn't have the time to keep up on here). Recenly I have not been feeling well, and frankly my symtoms are scaring me. Don't worry, I am going to the doctor today, after work. But I was hoping to gain a few more supporters (and I will support you back!) and some opinions on my recent health issues. Below is a repost of my recent blog post:

Now this may or may not be a factor, but before I start this post, I want to point out that I was a slight hypochondriac as a kid. I was no Veda Sultenfuss, but I would often read things like home remedy books and think I had symptoms of minor health problems. However, I do not feel this has been a problem since I was in my early teens.

Now, that being said, the last couple of days I have been experiencing all or some of the following symptoms:

-Chest feels tight -or- have to take deep breaths -or- have to focus on breathing or I subconsciously hold my breath.

-Nasal/Sinus congestion.

-Stop breathing when I fall asleep - making it hard for me to fall asleep until I am absolutely exhausted (I could not fall asleep until around 4am last night).

-Feeling like I'm swallowing air -or- constant feeling like I need to burp (feels like air bubble in chest).

-Fatigue, weakness throughout most of the day - more prominent in the mornings and evenings.

-Easily winded by the simplest tasks (walking at a brisk pace, going up stairs, carrying somewhat heavy items).

-Stress, anxiety, paranoia (possibly hypochondria?) due to my symptoms, possible lack of sleep - may be making symptoms worse.

-Random pains all over: I want to elaborate on this particular symptom as it seems the most concerning to me...

Through the day and night, consistently yet randomly, I am feeling pains that are either shooting, tingly, feel like pins & needles or feel dull & achy all over my body. I do not feel it all over my entire body all at once. The pain travels randomly to different parts such as:

-anywhere on my arms (back or front of upper arms, elbows, wrists)

-fingers and fingertips

-anywhere on my face (forehead, cheeks, jaw)

-chest, breasts

-anywhere on my back

- front or back of thighs or knees

-ankles

-feet, but mostly bottoms of my feet

-buttcheeks

-pretty much any random area on my body is prone to a sudden pain that feels like one or more of the feelings described above.



I am going to the doctor but I am concerned that I may have:

Fibromyalgia

Sleep Apnea

Possibly both of the above

A heart condition

Diabetes

Anything????



I am officially freaked out by these pains. If anyone has any ideas, suggestions, thoughts, opinions, whatever - I would be glad to hear/read them.



Thanks.
