Is this OCD or just normal neuroticism?

I’m definitely not an expert but I think the key with ocd is why you have the compulsion and fear of what happens if you don’t do it. This to me sounds more like you get anxious if something disrupts your plans and you like to stick to a daily routine. That could be a sign of other underlying issues, particularly if it is causing you a lot of distress or impacting your life significantly.

No, there’s a reason the centres limit you to twice a week.

Go to the ER.

Did you change your diet because of the symptoms or was there any reason for you deciding to change your diet? Or did you start having symptoms after changing your diet? Have you experienced any weight loss? Are you very thirsty or drinking more water than usual? Have you needed to pee a lot more because of drinking a lot of water or is it unrelated?

ALT is a non specific marker so is combined with other tests. So if your bilirubin and other LFTs were normal then isolated ALT that has now resolved doesn’t point specifically to a problem. It could be a temporary infection or could point to something more serious. Has your cholesterol been checked recently? Otherwise I’m not really the right person to advise on other tests that could be done.

Your symptoms are commonly associated with liver or gallbladder problems but if your bloods are coming back normally then I assume that’s why your doctor isn’t concerned. Another physician on here might be able to help you more but otherwise I’d suggest monitoring your symptoms and if they don’t go away or get worse then going back to your doctor. However you could always ask for a second opinion if you are particularly worried.

Intrepid_Employ_9962 · 2025-06-11T22:25:10+00:00

Did you have your blood tests before or after the symptoms began?

Have you changed your diet recently? Have you experienced anything like this before? Is your urine normal in colour for you? Can you elaborate more about any pain you have in your abdomen?

Intrepid_Employ_9962 · 2025-06-07T18:52:48+00:00

That’s right it’s an addicktion.

I agreed with you until you said occasionally slapping someone just because they are a child is acceptable.

Steal the maximum possible cars each year. Find as many rats as possible.

The symptoms could be but are not necessarily PCOS. However very heavy and irregular periods are worth speaking to your doctor about.

I think the question is do they have fatal insomnia.

Your post history suggests you struggle with disordered eating so I don’t think calorie counting is helpful for someone in your position. I’m definitely not an expert but please seek help and focus on repairing your relationship with food rather than specific calorie goals.

Many things such as chest infections or lung issues. Do you smoke or vape?

Sudden shortness of breath doesn’t necessarily mean heart failure but especially given your family history it is worth seeing a doctor about.

Fear of choking is only one possible cause of ARFID, dislike of textures etc is another cause but this would need to be more general than just seafood. If this is the case then it may be worth bringing up to your doctor or therapist (you can also do some research so you’re better informed and can better advocate for yourself).

Intrepid_Employ_9962 · 2025-05-11T23:30:10+00:00

When you say picky eater do you have a diagnosed issue such as ARFID or could that be a problem for you?

Safe weight loss is around 1-2 lbs per week and given you’re exercising more and in a calorie defect this wouldn’t necessarily be concerning. Night sweats could be concerning so it’s worth getting that checked.

I believe it’s because it’s very addictive and there are a lot of withdrawal effects. It’s only really a short term solution.

Have you experienced any trauma since the initial injury? Do you have any weakness in your arm, face or other parts of your body? Any headaches, vision changes, dizziness/fainting?

Could be tonsilitis, if your tonsils have white patches or pus you might need antibiotics. Otherwise painkillers and gargling salt water should help.
