hello and welcome,
yes, what you describe COULD be MS. anxiety can make sx's (symptoms) worse. i believe that fear takes away your personal power. that's why i would make an appt first with your pcp (primary care dr). start to keep a journal of dates and yours sx's. take that with you to your appt. your dr may find it helpful.

some tests and labwork are usually in order to not only rule MS in but to rule copycats out. don't let your drs label you because of any emotional problems you may have. be calm and matter of fact at the appt. you are your own best advocate.

ask that a copy of the dr visit dictation be mailed to you. start a medical file on yourself. get copies of test results. it will come in handy in the future.

try to take one thing at a time. one day at a time.
you will find answers. keep us posted ok?
