Hi, I am new to this site and really have seen some posts that resemble my own experiences. I have always been a worrier of health to begin with and I think what has happened is the cause of my own mind, but just wanted a few opinions.
Everthing started about 2 weeks ago, one night I woke up hot, not sweating though. My wife woke up and she was cold and I got worried about myself because I was feeling hot. I had read some things in the newspaper awhile back about a guy who had night sweats and it was lymphoma, or hodgkins disease.
I immediately went on the internet and read the symtoms and panicked!! After that I seemed to have lost my appetite, I still eat but I don't really get hungry. Also now, I have read that a loss of appetite and weight is a symtom for other things!! So now, every morning I wake up and wait to see if I feel hungry and when I don't I get panicky again!
My wife is telling me I have just panicked myself right into all this. She saids it's all in my mind or it had something to do with the real bad cold or flu I had about a week prior to all this...coughing up yellow flem (sorry to be graphic). I had lost my appetite during that time, but regained it until after I freaked out.
Can constant worries like this put my appetite on hold? Is anxiety that powerful with a mind?? Sorry this post is like a novel..
