Hi Nicole!
Head aches and my feet fell asleep! write it down!! It is not being a hypochondriac when you are recording what you are feeling and I understand what you are saying too. When I tried to describe what was bringing me to the doctor (on and off for 3 years before my exacerbation) it was difficult to describe and when none of the tests showed anything, I started seeing a psychologist just in case it was an 'emotional' thing! lol and I had the 'getting words mixed' up thing going too!
botton line, you cannot take action to get yourself better until you get a dx of whatever is going on, so I hope you will make that appt. and see the doctors, let them determine what tests need to be done. You are in nursing school, so you know you would encourage the same to another! 
Please keep us posted, and welcome to the forum
