I am just wondering if there is usually a trigger for HA or if it is something which develops over time? I have had a few episodes of HA in the past - usually brought on with having something checked at a doctors and my mind runs away with itself - I have never been on any kind of medication for my anxiety as generally it is fairly mild - and it is generally only health that bothers me, well that and family members dying, but this time is so much more severe!
It all started in July when I was getting really tired all the time - googled it out of curiosity and it mentioned leukemia, cue mass panic! More and more symptoms developed, suck as nausea, headaches and leg pain. I was on the contraceptive pill at this point. Long story short, I did a pregnancy test ... Well, 7 pregnancy tests, all positive.
Instead of being relieved that I finally had a reason for my symptoms, I began to obsess over miscarriage as I have suffered a MC 18 months ago. Got lots of reassurance scans and all going well, lhealthy heartbeat detected from 6 weeks onwards, until at 8 week scan they couldn't find a heartbeat and I had miscarried again.
They have offered me testing as I am only 23 and have miscarried both of my pregnancies so they think there must be a reason behind this, and I believe this is causing my HA to be worse. Don't know whether to get these tests done or to wait until I am planning a family.
Does anyone have an experience like mines?
