HI, Sorry to take over this board lately but im in a right old state.
I have suffered from health anxiety on & off for 2-3 yrs, very badly recently. Came off meds in June as I thought they were not working and I was getting some horrible side effects (have been on dothiepin and then lofepramine).
I have had alot of physical symptoms recently and my dr is now doing a full mot blood test to make sure im ok, having this thursday and im worried sick about the results:-(
I have been feeling very anxious about my health recently, had alot of sinus trouble, diagnosed with chronic sinusitis so have a steroid spray but im really anxious it will turn to meningitis, im at the drs every week worrying., I am tired all the time, headaches, lat few days muscle spasms all in my left thigh & calf muscle. Worried sick about what it could be:-( thinking low sodium from when I was on anti ds and from what ive read its nasty:-( and i have a couple of the symptoms.
Basically you get the jist, im a nervous wreck about my health. I am crying alot, not going out but my 3 kids do have chicken pox[}:)] my hubby thinks its coz im stuck in im low again but ive been crying alot, shouting at the kids and snappy:( I can hardly smile and im just worrying all the time.
Would you say its anxiety or depression? I have 3 kids all under 5 yrs old and im only 27 (in a few weeks, hehe) I feel so stressed, worried and low, I can't carry on living like this[|)]
I dont' know if to see my dr later and just burst into tears & let it all out, they only do emergency appointments at teatime but its the only time to get there. Hubby has my car today as his is having an mot so im stuck in.
So sorry to post again but you are all stars and really supportive.
