What Causes An Overactive Bladder And Rapid Heart Rate?

For the past six years I have had overactive bladder. As of the past two years it is uncontrollable. I can feel like have to go 5-6 times an hour. I also have had terrible dizziness problems for the past 6 years. It affects my balance and I always feel as if I could fall over at anytime. I always feel nervous my heart races and I cant sleep. If I shut my eyes I have a rapid eye movement back and forth.I also have IBS.My body doesnt react the way I want it to and when I try to do things I am shakey or my body seems like my arms or legs have a delayed reaction or dont want to do move as I need them to. I had an mri of the brain but all that was found is that I have a degenerated cochlea in both my ears. I have had blood sugar tests but my a1c test came back 5.3 which is good. The only lapse I have had was a three week period about a year ago. I was taking fish oil pills, an anti stress multivitamin and iodine pills. I felt great for the three weeks and everything came back. My eyes kill me everyday along with headaches and all my other problems. I had blood tests to check my thyroid and it came back ok. I also was told I have a thickening of the bladder wall. I feel like I have nerve damage. Im wondering if this could all be my thyroid??? Please help me guide me what I should try next. I just want to die. This is no way to live. Thanks and God bless you.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. From the given details, it becomes very clear that your pathological as well as radiation related investigations suggested by different medical and surgical specialists came back normal and there were no abnormalities detected. You are still worried and you want to try next doctor.

I also know, the doctors you consulted, must have told you, this is anxiety disorder and you refuse to believe.I think, you have health anxiety disorder (hypochondriasis). Health anxiety disorder makes you to think obsessively because you believe you have some life threatening disease. My suggestion would be to consult a psychiatrist and get medication for health anxiety. You will be alright.
