Hi guys, pretty new to all this, I have been living with health anxiety for the last I would say, 8 years.
At first I thought I had a heart condition, and to tell you the truth it was like that until late last year, constant fear and panic, luckily that has eased up now but sadly it would seem something has taken its place, I am at my wits end, I have a feeling I may have something very wrong in my stomach/belly
I have been to the doctors around 4 times in the last month, the doctor has felt my belly and said the lumps I can feel are just tissue lumps and they are harmless, I had full bloods done at Xmas and it all come back normal
I am so obsessed with my stomach and the area, people keep telling me it’s just my anxiety but in my head it just can’t be?
I’m 25, have 2 beautiful kids, she is 3 and he is 1.
The issues I am having is belly pains, pains when I feel like I need to go to the toilet, too much info I’m sorry
Aching in my back, a feeling of bubbling in my tummy almost like it’s gurgling
I am off my food, can’t seem to be anxiety surely?
I feel like wherever I look, Facebook, google, shops etc, it’s all about cancer and other illnesses that it’s a big trigger, everyone is telling me it’s my anxiety but I am right and they are wrong, that’s how I think anyway...
These things are just dragging me down so much, I can not focus on anything and am struggling to break the cycle..
Been on 100mg sertraline
Phenergan I think it’s called, I don’t take much as it scares me, makes me feel drowsy etc
Omerazapole for acidity
Honestly am so sick to death with this, it’s killing me, please tell me I’m not alone with these symptoms
Thanks guys
Dan
