I've suffered panic attacks since 2008 which I could control, then I fell pregnant in 2010 and felt a bit anxious because I don't like doctors or hospitals so was dreading giving birth. I have birth November 2010 which was pretty traumatic. After that I didn't have panic attacks or anxiety for a year till my sons first birthday I kept getting headaches and felt very dizzy when walking anywhere and my heart would flutter alot leaving me so scared I was then diagnosed with health anxiety as I went to the doctors thinking I had a brain tumour and every other illness I couldn't believe anxiety could leave me felling like that. So I just got on with things even if I did feel ill. My anxiety went down and I didn't feel faint or dizzy anymore. Then November 2012 I thought I had a blood clot in my lung that triggered anxiety again but I didn't let it get to me. Till 4 months ago my ear piecing got infected I thought I had blood poisening I kept feeling faint again and I was scared to leave the house then I kept needing a wee and had itchy skin which was all put down to anxiety after that I just kept thinking I have something wrong with me I started CBT which has helped a little bit but my brother passed away so my therapy wasent really helping I felt so depressed and ill. Now when I walk I feel off balance I still keep needing a wee and I feel lightheaded alot of the time the thought of going out petrifies me, and I get tired really easily even though I sleep well at night.
I know I suffer health anxiety but I really believe this time there is something wrong with me causing my anxiety and the doctors won't listen. I'm sure I've got something wrong withy bladder or ovaries or something I don't no I keep getting period pain and alot of discharge. I don't no if this is anxiety causing me all this pain or I've got something wrong with me which is giving me really bad anxiety.
Sorry this is long just a bit my story. I just need reassuring.
