Is this depression/stress ?!
Question: Is this depression/stress .?
Hello, Here's my story. I'm Male 22
My life was going pretty smoothly (university, gym, etc) until I got sick in late October and early November with some very bad viral infection. First Doctors gave me antibiotics for 2 weeks which never helped.
So had blood test and doctor came to conclusion that it is viral infection and will go away. When I was antibiotics (Z-pack) I had so much anxiety and even had anxiety attack.
Since then I am not feeling myself. I have been examined by 5 different doctors and have had drawn blood test 4 different times and also had ECG 2 times.
Doctors keep on saying its virus or stress.
My body is feeling so weak everyday, no energy at all, no concentration, sometimes it feels someone is squeezing my body (scary), loss of interest in everything I used to do, palpitations, irregular heart beat and occasional lightheadedness.
Its like I feel I will never get better again.
Even my family doctor have just like given up. She has performed variety of blood tests and nothing comes up.
Additional Details
Since last month I had 2 trips to E.R...due to severe weakness and feeling of passing out.
Doctor perform several tests and don't find anythingHealth Question & Answer

Answers:
Sounds VERY similar to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Unfortunately, there is no universal test to diagnose this condition. It is thought to initially come to through some sort of viral infection. If your doctor does not seem to take this diagnosis as a possible solution I advise you find another doctor immediately (Preferably a younger one as alot of younger doctors are more up to date on new conditions and are more keen to curing conditions that were unknown or unstudied by older doctors).

I can understand how frustrating this is! To not feel 100%-and not know why is aggravating! I suggest you find another Dr. - one that is thorough and willing to dig. I think school may need to go on hold, unless you are reeaally motivated to go on regardless. I also suggest that you try a holistic approach-try to keep an open mind! Good luck!Health Question & Answer

O my goodness I am SO sorry for you.
I don't know what it is but Id like you to tell me what you eat daily and if you exercises before this happened.
It could be either one but it could also be sickness from stress.
There is a kind of sickness that stays in your body for lots of years and do no harm UNTIL you get stressed or depressed then they attack
your body.
Hope you feel better soon
BTW- this has almost nothing to do with this but Check out ISLAMHealth Question & Answer

1. Depression - this is not depression as depression is marked by lack of interest in things important to you and usually loved by you, even when you have energy to do those things
2. Stress - it is not also stress as you have written your life was going pretty smoothly before this period
3. Viral infection - chances that you have viral infection is less as usually viral infections get cured after a time interval(for example, cold , pox,etc.)
4.Other possibilities:
(i)Side effect of antibiotics
(ii)Irregular lifestyle
(iii)Bacterial infection not treated properly
(iv)Dysfunction of certain organ of your body,. for example, liver(only example)
5.My advice would be:
(i)See a good doctor(specialist)
(ii)Take "Crataegus Oxyacantha"(give a search in google, it is normally available as homeopathic medicine,actually it is completely safe herbal food and medicine) - can be taken with any other medicine from any other doctor.
(iii)Take green chilli in any form within tolerable limit along with your daily food
(iv)wake up early in the morning and include a brisk walk
(v) Do not worry as your problems are physical and willl be relieved in due timeHealth Question & Answer
