Hello everybody
I'm a 26 year old "girl" who in my childhood was diagnosed with OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). A couple of years ago I started to have some strange symptoms. Suddenly, out of the blue my heart started to pound and I started sweating, I felt like I was going to pass out, my vision became altered and "soft" like I wasn't able to focus.
Since then I've, more or less, constantly had this strange pressurelike "fuzzy" feeling in my head, and always listening to my bodily symptoms looking for a new sign of disease. Now and then I have these attacks like the first one I had. And between the attacks I constantly worry about having another. I've seen a number of different doctors from neurologists to endo-specialist, I've done MRI's, EKG's, EEG's, several bloodtests and no organic disease have been found.
The hypochondric in me always worries about that this might be symptoms of some strange disease, a heart condition or a brain tumor.
My questions are: Could this be symptoms of anxiety? What kind of help is available?
Thank you for taking your time with my question.
Kristina
