Need to tell someone every symptom

[ever worried]

Does anyone find that they have to tell someone every time they get a new symptom? I seem to have a new problem every day at the moment it is a pain in my leg and pins and needles in my arm and I have to keep telling my Husband about it,it makes me feel better, but I know it irritates him so much that he doesn't listen any more.

yes been there still am feel husband and doctor dont listen pins and needles in arms are common with anxiety i get down my arms even into my jaw and face its scary.

my doctor told me 1 problem maybe 2 is normal but anything more is anxiety.

I do and my husband is the same as yours lol

We also have a son with HA so my poor husband feels like he is living with a bunch of sick people.

I call my mum and friend and they ask me straight away what I'm dying of today.

yes I do this and if I begin to explain a new symptom to my bf he says ' I have a spot on my a**e .. what does google think im dying of ? ' haha x

Thank you for your replies.I have really tried today not to complain about anything and to keep myself busy,but I am anxious all the time which I know only makes the symptoms worse.It doesn't help that I am agoraphobic so I spend all day at home with my husband who is retired.

Hi you could try making a chart and write down the symptom then next to it what you think it is/ why you think it is serious, then next column write what you would say to someone else if they had it, then write a list of normal/more likely things it could be before you tell him because by then you may not be as worried and need to mention it :)
