I : I can not provide you with a diagnosis. However, these symptoms are of concern. Please ask your parents to read my response. Sometimes as a parent, it is hard to know what to make of symptoms your child has, especially if they seem odd. I do recommend that you see your doctor. After you doctor obtains a medical history from you and your parents, does a physical examination and any lab tests or other appropriate studies; he or she will be in a better position to determine the cause of these symptoms. Your doctor may need to refer you to a specialist for care. Good luck.

This is not normal.: Please see your family doctor for a physicalexam and lab workup. If no medical cause can be found for your suffering then you should be referred to a psychiatrist for further evaluation of your condition and the development of a treatment plan to relieve you of your symptoms and keep them at bay.
