I'm new about here, a little history, about 6 years ago I had some mild CO2 poisoning which seemed to trigger my health anxiety.
It was initially about breathing as when I had the CO2 poisoning I was passing out and short of breath. It then mutated into palpitations, soreheads, dizzy spells, worrying about cancers, throat cancers, the full works.
I managed to get off tablets that I was prescribed some 2 years ago and have been good since but recently its all flooding back to me now. I'm feeliing pretty low and very stuck in a bad place.
I'm hoping coming on here can help me deal with this. My Mrs knows all about my situation and can deal with it most of the time but alot of the time she will say stop being silly and just get on with it. I know shes right but I also know she probably doesn't fully understand whats going on.
I have two kids who I also worry about, especially my youngest who has a hemangioendothelioma, or a benign cancer lump to you and me. Its been a worry this last year hoping the medication would work so she didn't have to go for a risky operation. I suppose this has fuelled my anxiety some what too.
Anyways, I'm rambling. Think I've had about 4 blood tests in the last 2 months and everything has come back ok. Its just my blood pressure that's up and I know its due to the worry I'm going through.
Please be kind, hopefully be even more helpful for me! Thanks.
