Hey guys, I’m 18 years old and I’ve had hypochondria for about a year and a half now.
I always feel generally unwell, very fatigued everyday which has gotten so bad that I barely shower or get out of bed.
I also have a buildup of mucus in my lungs/throat 24/7. By this I mean I’m constantly snorting to get the mucus down my throat bc it’s always dry, and when I’m laying in bed sometimes I can hear the mucus rattling in my chest, I also have a dry cough 24/7. This issue started about 2 years ago and is slowly getting worse.
But this is what my post is about. Around oct 28th, 2020 I noticed the side of my hand was turning blue. I knew something was wrong but didn’t want to freak myself out so I just brushed it off. (Pics of this will be on the thread).
Not a big deal, i thought it was just a bruise. But then 2 mins later it started fading. (Also a pic of this). Now today Nov 15th, 2020 I was laying in bed and I got on my computer when I noticed in between my knuckles/the joints of my fingers were blue and the bottom of my nails were slightly purple.
I’m not too worried about it because I don’t feel sicker than I usually do but I’m a little concerned because this never happened before oct 2020. Does anybody know what this is and is it something I should let my doc know?
here’s some extra info if that helps determine what it is, on sept/oct 2019 my ANA test came back positive but it was only slightly over the positive line so they said it was normal and didn’t check for anything but lupus (because my aunt has it). They ruled out lupus but never took more tests to make sure I didn’t actually have anything.
Also around that same time when I went to the hospital for a panic attack my liver enzymes were elevated. They also said this could be normal so they didn’t do any further testing. I’ve also had blood in my stool for a few days in early 2019 and then again for 1 week straight in late 2019. I had a colonoscopy apt but it got cancelled because of covid. (By blood in my stool I mean it wasn’t actually IN my stool but blood came out when I would go to the bathroom, once I even just sat on the toilet and pushed a tiny bit but stopped bc I was constipated and then I looked in the toilet and it was full of fresh red blood.) the doctor checked me for anal fissures and hemorrhoids but said I didn’t have any.
That doctor refuses to do more testing on me bc of my hypochondriac “fit” where I went to the hospital everyday for about a week straight, so they don’t believe anything I say anymore. So I’m currently switching to a new doctor and don’t know when that will happen so for now I don’t have any doctor to go to.
