All the symptoms

Hi, I’ve become very anxious over the last few months with worsening symptoms. Last June, I visited the gp for horrible itching in my calves but no signs of rash so he put it down to stress. Sometime since then it has become hard to swallow and my right ear sometimes feels blocked. This feb, I was treated in a&e for dehydration and a strain of flu. I never quite recovered since then and in June I became ill again, this time the doctor noticed swollen glands in my neck and ordered a chest X-ray, bloods and an ultrasound of neck. All came back “within reasonable limits” and the radiologist said she could see that I had quite a few that were swollen but she said she wouldn’t look into it any further. Few months on, multiple new swollen lymphndes have shown up(some quite larger than 1cm), my left arm is now getting shooting pains and numbness and I’m suffering migraines, severe itching in legs is still happening and my diaphragm hurts when I eat. Any advice on what to do as I just don’t feel right? But feel as though the doctor won’t look into it any further for me and can’t afford to keep going back for no outcome

  • Hi there, the only option is to go back to GP, the stress of worrying will make you ill on its own. I understand sometimes you put it off because you think they'll dismiss your concerns but don't give up until you have answers, hopefully it won't be anything sinister but until you know for sure the anxiety will just get worse.

    Good luck
