Everything is labled (...) how long i had the symptoms. Some of these symptoms i had for 2 years but the newest ones i feel are related.
Im a 18 year old female, 160 lbs, blood work results say I'm perfectly healthy, but my thyroid and glands have been enlarged for the past 2 years now they feel so swollen its hard for me to put my neck down, and my blood pressure has always been a little low. They said the causes for all these symptoms is stress related.
I do suffer from depression since i was a child, never took medication. Recently with sickness the depression and panic/Anxiety attacks are unbearable. The past 2 years I've been suffering from chronic ear, nose and throat infections and in October over night i developed an ear, nose and throat infection which in only 1 day turned into Puenmonia, it took 4 weeks for me to to stop coughing but it sent me into a downfall. i was on 2 sets of antibiotics and nebulizar treatments and i feel like im getting sick again. Basically i feel like everything is falling apart and I'm too tired to have a doctor tell me I'm stressed and be turned away, I feel like how I feel right now is causing the stress
Symptoms

Heart burn, the kind that would make a person go to the hospital saying there having a heart attack (3 weeks)
Heart begins to race with no activity feels like my whole body is beating, a year ago this would only happen while resting, i would snap awake suddenly feeling like i just had the life scared out of me, I was told it was nightmares, now it happens while awake with no activity (3 weeks)

*When sleeping feelings of pins and needles start in my right rib cage area spreads outwards to limbs and eventually turns into complete body paralysis then feelings of whole body being shocked, RAPID heart beat, chest pressure, high pitch/ loud ringing in ears, eventually I just fall asleep. First time happened when i was 16 didnt happen again till 6 months later by mid 17 it was happening once a month, and by early 18 it was happening days at a time almost all the time each time it seems worse (2 years)
Headaches and migranes mostly in temples, front and sides of head(2 years)
