Okay to start off with i am a 20 year old male. I played sports all my life (football, baseball and basketball). For about the past 2 months i have been very stressed out over alot of things, mainly thinking something is wrong with me. I never have an appetite, which means i dont realy force myself to eat. I drink gatorade and water to "fill me up". ( i eat 1 or 2 small meals a day). But the stress has got the best of me! I tried Wellbutrin but it kind of made my chest hurt. So i went back to the doctors and he took me off it and ran a EKG. he said that he thinks i have a RBBB and DONT worry about it.
So a few days go by...and i have a pain in the to left of my back, as im worried about the RBBB and go to the ER. they say they dont think its in any relation to my heart, and let me go with a back pain. i had a friend whos dad died of ALS, and thats what popped up in my mind. so as i think about it, both of my arms hurt around my arm pit area and on the inside of my arm, (the left arm sometimes radiates down to my hand) but these pains are NOT costant. I also have some middle back pains, and recently my legs have felt heavy when i wake up in the morning! but i do not feel a loss in any strength. i just get very worried, and i sometime feel that im a hyprocondriac, or however you spell it. sorry. i just get worried about my health.
But since i havent been eating realy anything lately, maybe it could be the lack of nuetrients, or the stress getting the best of me! im just worried about als, and fear it. I turn to you guys for help, and truth. Sorry for such a long post but tried to describe it.
THANK YOU!
Pains - Inner top arms, no loss of strength.
- Legs feel heavy in the morning. no loss of strength.
- legs started feeling heavy when i started worrying about ALS. So maybe my mind is playing a game on me?
