Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I’m 18 year old male. I first had chest discomfort that would kinda hurt when ever I took a deep breath. Now I have back pain and my chest and ribs are tender to touch. I’ll also have leg aches on both sides and joint pains. I went to the hospital because I thought it might’ve been heart related but everything came back normal. They did x ray, blood sugar and an ECG. They said it’s bothing but income still having these weird pains. Can it be my anxiety?? I’m scared it might be lymphoma even tho my symptoms are so broad. Any idea what can be going on??
