Having issues and think I’m losing it… please help.
I’m a 31 year old female. And I have three children that I have to care for, but I haven’t been able to very well lately because I’m going through so much.
A couple weeks ago I woke up with the most excruciating back pain. A few days after that, I started having really bad nausea out of nowhere which gave me a lot of anxiety. I went to the ER and they did a CT scan of my abdomen and told me that I had two herniated discs in my thoracic spine, which is apparently very rare. Which also gave me really bad anxiety.
I went to the chiropractor the next day and the following night I ended up having the worst migraine of my life. I couldn’t move for three days. I ended up going to the doctor and they gave me a steroid shot and some kind of emergency pill for migraines. Over the next 24 hours the pain started to go down a lot.
I ended up going back to the ER when the headache returned and did a brain CT and they said that it was all clear. My blood test were clear too.
Really the main thing that I’m left with is having difficulty swallowing it feels like there’s something closing my throat all the time, difficulty breathing, back pain, some headache pain when I cough/sneeze and de realization. I feel like I’m slowly deteriorating and I’m concerned for myself but mainly for my kids. I haven’t worked in 2 weeks and everything is at risk. I don’t know what to do and the doctors all tell me I’m okay. I’m clearly NOT OK
