I have recently joined this website in the hope that someone out there can relate to me, I am feeling so alone right now... I am self diagnosed with Health Anxiety, a discovery I made not too long ago.
Since October 2011 I have been feeling very tired, headaches nearly everyday on the right side of my head, and generally feeling sluggish and unwell, have been to the doctors for blood tests (which in themselves have tested just about everything possible to test), I've had urine tests and even a depression asessement but no one can tell me anything.
I recently went again complaining about these nagging pinching headaches on the right side of my head/temple (I have one now) and they told me I should go for an eye test and will refer me to a migraine clinic, however I am constantly plagued by negative thoughts that I might have a brain tumour which has been undetected or I have a disease I do not know about. I am 22 and an otherwise fit and healthy person who eats healthily and exercises nearly everyday, however I have suffered with chronic anxiety for as long as I remember and I am beginning to think the doctors think I am mad :(
I have recently pinpointed my anxiety to health related issues and worrying that I am going to die because of some undetected illness/tumour.
Any comments or information would be so gratefully received right now, it's a comfort in itself knowing there are others who also suffer with this horrible anxiety condition.
Many Thanks :)
