Brief Answer:
Anxiety.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, it all seems Anxiety to me. Your all reports are unremarkable.
So I don't find any reason to worry.
See your doctor who would start you on SSRI like Escitalopram for a short course and I am hopeful that you would improve soon.
I would also recommend you to start meditation and avoid alcohol and smoking in case you do.
I hope it helps you.
If you have any further query, please ask me.

Hi Doctor,

I quit smoking and drinking six month back.
I have tried ssri and they are not helpful in my case ... They are working as catalyst in increasing my anxiety more.
The recent problem from last 3 weeks is almost killing me , i am feeling head spins ( chakkar aana ) , hollowness/ shallowness inside body ,throat pain nad vomating sensations full day even if i sleep 9 hrs /day.
I am very less anxious after my hiv 180 days results on ( 4th march 2016).
After 180 days results . I thought that all my symptoms for sure settle down , but its not happened at all. Still these physical problems making me paranoid.
I hv consulted almost multiple doctors ( ENT , internal medicine etc) and acc to them hiv results are conclusive even doctors in this forum also concluded this.but then why this much of physical illness which is impacting my personal and professional life. All the day i am feeling dizzy and fatigue.
1. Do i ever need to retest again for hiv or any other STD's?
2. Is these symptoms in any way associated to any STD's. Though i have all protected encounters six month back and unprotected kissing and oral?
3.How to settle down these physical discomfort with any further fears?
I need help doctor respective to all clinical stats that my life is free from STD and help to settle down these issues. Please help
.

Brief Answer:
A good psychiatrist would help you.

Detailed Answer:
The answer to all your questions is "No".
You don't require to take any further tests for STD's. Moreover your symptoms are not due to that.
I would recommend you to see a Psychiatrist and discuss my opinion of adding up a SSRI along with anti anxiety drug like Etizolam for the purpose.
Initially when you are started on SSRI you feel the discomfort but it settled soon.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
