View Full Version : This wek I shall be mostly dying of . .
Really struggling today. After 4 or 5 days feeling nauseous at work and at home I'm beginning to go down the slide of "what the hell is this" dialogue.
My left side is crampy, I feel dizzy at work and I have whittled it down to cancer or heart attack. I feel rotten when I lie down. My appetite is fine though!!
So is this a different side to anxiety? I'm doing less of the panic symptoms - is this a different shade and does it mean I'm getting better?
Like most of you I'm heartily sick of feeling sick and tired. Why does my body give me these symptoms?
Got to resist the urge to just go home from work and hide under the bedcovers and hope to awake feeling better.
ANy tips?
MC
Love the title it made me laugh!! I guess you know deep down that it is anxiety, your body is just keeping on pumping out all those stress hormones and doing weird things. Maybe take 5 mins evry now and again to just relax your mind. I just picture myself somewhere else - mountains are my fave or a beach. Or just got out for a walk over lunch. Sorry if its not a lot of use but hope it may help you a bit

Hi MC, I'm a new member only joined this morning. I'd convinced myself I was going to die of a kidney infection yesterday! Turned out my back was aching due to playing golf the day before but no matter how much I told myself that yesterday I wouldn't believe it. Woke up this morning and my back ache had gone. Still felt up tight when I got into work this morning but have been popping in and out of this site all morning and now feel much more relaxed. Sometimes I think it helps just talking about things. I feel very tired and the anxiety gets worse when I'm tired. Have you any friends at work you can talk to (just about anything), it may help take your mind off things.
Thinking of you

hi mconlon,
i really struggle with health anxiety now, but it started with with panic attacks, i dont get panic attacks the way i used to or i can cope with them better, i just have these horrible feelings from day to day with different symtpoms. i used to be in the doctors all the time when i was at my worst but i have learned to accept that it is anxiety an i am sure you will too. It is really hard, i have been like this for 2 years now i have been at the bottom and at the moment i am probably near the top but i dont see it that way, i still feel sorry for myself and i am sure you do to. We are all in the same boat but there is light at the end of the tunnel and we are always here to help and support you. take care Ruthb1
Hi MC,
Anxiety tis horrible and in can display a number of symptoms in many forms shapes and sizes and sometimes throws in totally new ones just to pee you off! LOL.
The trouble is the more you dwell on the symptoms the more apparent they seem to be.
Yesterday I had a pain in the chest well i was convinced it was a heart attack. I went out did stuff and distracted myself and funny enough the pain eased a bit.
So sometimes a health anxiety really rules our mind I know at times i struggle.
The best thing to do is try to put the "what ifs'" in the back of your mind. Tell yourself it's just anxiety etc.. and it can't and won't hurt you!
Try to stick out work if you can and I hope you feel brighter soon.
Take Care,
Love PIP'S X
Hey MC
I know what you mean....today I am dying from a Brain tumour! My head pains are back I am convinced this is something terrible, and am feeling very on edge today!
Trying to tell myself its stress and anxiety, like my doc has done time and time again! But I just cant seem to accept it.
I just need to deal with the fact that i am a nutter.......lol
I know i dont have any tips, coz i need some myself at the mo, but i can tell you i feel poo too! so ur not alone
keep smiling........your fellow nutcase hay x

Hi
I know where you are coming from and love the title of your post !!
I too suffer with health anxiety - over the past month I have had a DVT in my calf muscle, MS, brain tumour, heart attack and the list goes on ......
Every time it was nothing - hard to accept that it is all anxiety. One of the hardest things for me to deal with as I have mentioned before on previous posts is that I just cannot accept that anxiety can make you feel so very poorly physically. Also like you the fatigue is overwhelming. Everything aches.
Good luck mate and feel free to mail me anytime you want a chat

Thanks all for your messages
Given that we have all died a million times and had every ailment unders the sun, shurely we qualify as some sort of walking miracles!!! And yet I see no documentaries on TV about how great we are!!
I'm often inspired by Spike Milligan and his "I told you I was ill" headstone. He was well into his 80's when he popped off. I guess one day we'll be correct - will we be smug enough to come back with a line like that I wonder?
Until then I feel like the boy who cried wolf - and even though I consider myself to be intelligent I cannot help but cry out "something is wrong" when I feel odd or new symptoms.
Ended up being sent home - "you look gray" - which of course only feeds my neurosis.
I think the future should involve some sort of MOT for the brain- mine clearly isn't working properly, some sort of gasket has likely gone - I'd gladly pay for one that doesn't send innappropriate signals at innappropriate times.
Thanks all for the support. Its good to know I'm not on this path on my own.

Hey guys
Love the title!!! And Lucy, your list sounds like mine!!
My psychiatrist (I only seem him once every 3 months) always asks me before I leave "are you dead yet???" He started asking me that over 18 months ago when I first went to see him, and although he never "reassures" me - just by him asking that should tell me something I guess!!
SB xx
LOL.. I love it!
I never had so much the hypochondria phobia but actually the sort of opposite where I would insist everything was 'just stress'.
Then it dawned on me that staying up very late every night, drinking 10 cups of coffee a day/night and smoking a pack of cigs a day might actually be unhealthy and why i feel bad.
See, the one thing anxiety people like to do is 'self analyze' every sensation to determine if they are 'freaking out' starting to panic, having more anxiety and so on.
So, maybe sometime you REALLY ARE just very tired and your short of breath from SMOKING.
I have to stop myself from analyzing a scary monologue:
"whats this now!?' .. 'why am I so anxious.. oh Nooo.. Im 'relapsing'.. what am I gonna do if it comes back full force... ohhhh.. there is the shallow breathing, dizziness... all my therapy was for waste.. its over now..
Now I have a special thing this week.. Doctor is concerned about something and wants me to get tested all week and get in again soon.
Aha.
He cant tell me anything until he see's the results.
So, I have attempted to have:
Cancer
Lung Cancer
Plurisy (possible i made this one up just for me)
Thyroid Cancer
At least 45 different possible types of 'chronic infection'.
Neurological Damage (thats actually a real concern) but Im going to lose feeling in my arms and legs and worse yet my genitals and bowels.
Wow.. peeing myself and being single for life and eventually
Dying alone in a van down by the river!
But... hehe.. Im not going to bother much with those fears since I have a 'greater fear' of blood test needles.
Title totally made me laugh!!!!
Love Piglet (who does exactly the same)

"Supposing it didn't," said Pooh after careful thought.

Just had to reply again, this has made me smile even more, it is just sooo me and so true - my husband keeps saying to me what are you dying of this week?

I was just saying this to him last night as I have a cough....he told me it is prob a chest infection which i will most certainly die from.....cheeky bugger!
I love this thread almost as much as my wedding one......even though some of you are not getting married, it is a giggle to read - coz we are all nuts!

....still dizzy and nauseous. . .and in the cold light of day I can see many reasons for it.
I was once convinced I had Pleurisy and went on the internet to find out all about it.
Turns out they are a Death Metal rock band from netherlands - go figure!
Dark humour and sarcasm can often be helpful in dismissing the catastrophising thoughts - it kicks the legs from under their self-importance and my thoughts and sensations often feel like the most important and must be dealt with NOW!!

Had a heart attack this morning!
Never really worried about heart attcks before, but for about an hour this morning, each in take of breath caused a sharp pain in my left boob. also sharp pain if i moved, felt horiible, panicked a little. My boyfriend was lovely as per usual.
Anyway got up eventually when pain eased did some massive Burps, and now it is gone......trapped wind i guess???
My fella rand me a 8 to check i was still alive....lol.
Complete nutter. struggling not to google my symptoms this morning!!!!!

Hi there,
If we're talking about recent life-threatening conditions, thought I'd let you know I had a brain tumour last night: numbness on one side of my face, dull headache, muzzy foggy feeling in head. But do you know what? It seems to have cured itself this morning!
Shiv x
mc im sorry im so like you. this week as always ill be dying of heart attack or clot , which ever gets me first

'This too will pass'
http://www.pleurisy.nl
click on the background to find out all about them
Here's an idea . . .
Lets try to form a band or many bands named after whatever we have that week . .
Live on stage - "Myocardial Infraction!"
or
The new album from "Weird funny feeling on my left side":D
I joke of course but we all know times when everything feels really serious - I just got back from docs today to be told it's just a tummy upset. . . .so now I'm moving on to the dizziness and taking that far too seriously.
My computer and printer have options like "System Restore" and "Default to factory settings" - is there no drug or treatment out there that can recall our pre-panic/anxiety state? Surely the brain has not forgotten that memory?[?]

I just found this forum...its 137am and i cant sleep...convinced im having an anaphlactic shock (or however you spell it!!) my anxiety in the last few weeks has spiralled out of control, but reading this forum i feel a little less crazy.

Like what... what if that’s happening right now? How can I avoid all these questions if I don't have that? Like, who is gonna be here? Why... who is gonna be there... in the hospital? Who is gonna tell me that all this is bulls***... its a dream? Just a dream.This is not a joke. And uhh... i'll never sleep.

Oh thank you so much for this thread mc - i have laughed more this morning than I have done in the last 6 weeks. I'm new to all this anxiety nonsense and to be quite honest am a lot pi***ed off with it.
So good to read others stories and it is clear to me that everyone chatting has a great sense of humour and not bonkers at all!
Perhaps some of you guys can help with a question I have about how this anxiety kicked off wit me - I've started a new topic called "where did that come from?";)

Hey guys,
Im new here, and just had to respond....
I am the same, I have spent the last week convincing myself i have angina, about 5 heart attacks, colon cancer, a stomach ulcer, a hiatis hernia and wait for it...... liver failure and kidney disease...
And whats been wrong with me?
Pain in my chest, a tight left shoulder and diarreha, I sometimes gulp for breath and I get this wired sensation in my solar plxus region.... anyone else get that ?
BUT, i know deep down that its more than likely just my anxiety and panic that makes the feelings worse...
Going to sound stupid, but is there any medication that can help with this as my GP has put me on paroxatine at a level of 30mg a day...
Will things get worse before they get better ?

This week, for me...it's the brain tumor that didn't show up on the MRI wreaking havoc with my balance. Damn sneaky that brain tumor is. It's also the "ear rocks" causing my bppv that are harmless, but since I was in the 10% that didn't benefit from PT. I'll be the only persin they're fatal for. Love you guys for your patience!

Well for me this week it is mouth cancer.
You will see form my other posts. I have a sore ish thorat and just a general weird feeling in my mouth, kinda like i have burnt it.
Have been to the docs ad she thinks it may be a reduction in my meds that is causing it or, wait for it.....a virus, when isnt it a virus!!!!!!
Have googled sore mouth and guess what came up....mouth cancer.......what a muppet!!!!

Hello again all.
Have you ever had no physical sensations, aches or pains and feel pretty good about yourself and the world AND THEN convince yourself that something must be wrong because you feel good? Calm before the storm?
Thoughts are so stupid- am I sure its me that creates them!!
I'm feeling happy because I have piles - you know, haemorroids (how is it spelt?) and I managed to convince myself it was piles and not bowel cancer or anything else and I didn't google or go to the doc so I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself (whilst sitting with only one cheek on the chair cos the pain is too uncomfortable). Imagine that - pleased to have piles - I'm soooo turning into my Dad . . . middle age welcomes me with open arms (and some cream)

Have you tried a rubber ring yet!!!!!!!!
I also get all these symptoms, but what causes it, thats what i would like to know, sometimes i wish i was a simple creature, a creature who just gets on with the cycle of life without thinking all the time about peril, but i guess this is the trade off most of us make for being the most inteligent creatures on the planet, as you may know i have just started going to the gym which makes me feel great, but the trade of seems to be more aches and pains to worry about.
Today i have woken up with a stiff shoulder which is causing some nombness in my left hand, so im sat here thinking i must have had a heart attack in my sleep, or im just about to have one but like everyone else here im sure it will pass.
had two vertigo attacks in the night - my song to day is 'You spin me right round' and I'm so dizzy' but hey did the exercises and feeling much better! Hey April sorry the PT didn't work but try the exercises anyway, I've had vertigo (poss brain tumour lol) for 20 odd years, still ain't got me yet!!!

'This too will pass'
This is too funny. While everyone is sharing there illnesses I will share mine I reckon.
In the past month and a half i have had
Rabies.
Multiple Sclerosis
numerous heart attacks and strokes
brain tumor
and the latest is that I noticed my tongue trembling last night. no it can't be from the magnesium defficency that I have from my adrenal fatigue that I was diagnosed with because that would be the real reason and not fatal. It can't be because I spent all day yesterday on edge and I haven't had 8 hours of sound sleep in months because that would be to easy. I immediately googled it and came up with ALS. So that has to be it lol It is soo nice to know that I am not alone in the world. This posting was genius :-) You guys ROCK!

Oh dear, poor you Att. Well what has happened to me this past month? I have had endless panic attacks, an awful lot of them. I found another lump under my arm and now I think it has disappeared, really strange that, so that worried me quite a bit! Had a lot of other stressful stuff happen which has made me not very well. Was in bed with stomach ache and I was in that much pain that I couldn't go to sleep until about 8am in the morning! I am always feeling so panicy and stressed. Night times are the hardest for some reason, I just feel so alone all the time. I just feel like giving up. Ok well I shall shut up now, don't think anything else has happened this past month.

Well today I am convinced it is leukemia. Now i Know this should not be joked about as it is actually affecting people on the is site, but i cant take my mind off it.
oh and stupid me googled the symptoms. I have had a sore mouth on and off and i have bruises all the time ( i know i bruise easily but that is not the point) But apparently these are classic symptoms..........ARGH

I'm always covered in bruises, have been for years and i'm still hear to tell the tale.
As for sore mouths, well i'm the master of that one. Have had mouth problems for 5 years and have had everything you can think of - i'm surprised i havent broken google!!! And guess what, i'm still here with a sore (all but intermittent) mouth. Amazing

I know this sounds lame, but have you got a hobby that you can concentrate on to take you're mind of how you are feeling. And can you give yourself rewards for feeling well, whilst ignoring feeling ill?
Just a suggestion
I'll just add mine while I'm here;
asthma attacks
Chest infection/cancer
cancer of the tongue
manic depression

Yes, I agree with you all. I have died a thousand deaths and I too find the exhaustion just a bit too much. I don't suffer very often from panic attacks, but the anxiety ticks over and my symptoms are sometimes too much. I have aching muscles, dizziness, tiredness, nausea to name a few. But we must laugh, it helps. I hate being a hypochondriac but I do sometimes laugh at myself. It helps knowing there are others out there.

This is a great thread. Glad to see it's being kept up. This week, I am dying of:
kidney infection
abdominal aneurysm
pulmonary/heart disease due to a bit of trouble breathing
A relatively good week for me!

Hahahha giggling away reading everyones comments! Love the title jeez lets see today...its heart attack again! Had chest pains at the weekend, convinced myself that my 15-20 marlboro lights a day had finally caused my poor little heart to conk out. Actually im still thinking that but im still here so i figure thats a good sign?! but my hair thinning has been the past week, but i also have lung cancer most days, i worry about worrying also i thnk apparantly anxiety attacks cant give you a heart attack bnut whats all this stressing out and anxirty doing to my body? Right nuff worrying!
I was reading all these again today for the third time, it really cheered me up, again, laughed out loud!
I don't think I'm dying of anything today! Result!!
Happy New Year everyone!
