The Chicken or The Egg?

Hi! I have had many of the same symptoms,and have also been convinced it's not anxiety. My doctor says otherwise. I have tingling, creepy crawly feelings, dizziness, numbness around mouth, chest soreness. She said some of that is cause by hyperventialation syndrome. You can actually hyperventilate without even knowing it. Breathing and relaxation helps. I have been undergoing treatment for 8 weeks now. I have had all kinds of tests run, and of course they are all negative. I agreed to the meds. It took a while for them to work, but I am slowing improving. I have good and bad days. I am starting to believe now maybe the dr was right. I've found keeping a journal and rereading it shows I'm improving. I have spent hours searching the net to self diagnose. I've convinced myself of fibromyalgia, heart problems, MS, Als, and worse. Of course the tests were all negative. Hang in there. Counsling helps too.
