Hello,

You have taken expert consultation already. Every test associate with your symptoms came back normal and therefore there is nothing to worry physically or organically about those. But further the symptoms can only be due to anxiety and depression. Initial numbness could have made you some what anxious about your health condition, which further deteriorated as the days passed and your worries intensified. This anxiety could have been converted into depression and further psycho-somatic symptoms. You could be feeling those psycho-somatic symptoms. Even though psychiatric diagnosis is required, I suggest you to stop worrying because worrying worsens the condition.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. K. V. Anand, Psychologist
