Thank you for replying.

The symptoms i experience started with occasional nightsweats, swollen lymphs, weight bouncing (10 kg difference, normal weight is 77 kg), it feels like i’m living in a dream (sort of vertigo), sweaty hands and feet, tiredness, lack of energy, stomach problems (heartburn, pain etc), sleeping problems beacause i can’t breath true my nose at night and bruxism, constant weak legs when walking (don’t feel it when i sit), a lot of chest pressure when standing up quick and chest pressure that feels like it’s coming from my stomach.

Later this developed in some sort of pannick attacks. Out of the blue it felt like my body was shutting down. I felt chest pressure, a saw the world spinning and got issues with my movement control. The panick was not in my head, it was in my body. I could stay pretty calm and only sometimes i panicked because i did not know what to do.

Sometimes it is kind of scary, but i’ve been checked properly:

Had an ECG three times
Had an 24 holter
Had an x-ray
Had an echo of my lymphs, abdominal and neck
Had countless bloodtests

Sometimes it feels like my body is playing a joke with me, because the doctors don’t seem to know what it is.

Thanks you so much,

Kind regards,

Markymark
