Hi,
My name is Debbie and I live in Australia. I am 28 yrs old, married with 3 kids.
I started having anxiety, panic attacks and stress alot since April this year. I first started getting anxiety and panic attacks due to Benign Positional Vertigo that I have had for the last 6 years. I get the attacks when I go into shops, cinema and some restaurants. I just learnt to live with this.
But it became worse after a mini tummy tuck operation that I had in April. The doctors made a big thing about blood clots and this seemed to trigger something in me. Everytime I would get a pain I would think that I had a blood clot and that I was going to die.
I also have had another two operations this year and one was a sinus operation. I had had constant sinus problems with headaches everyday and also pressure in my head from the sinus. I knew that it was only sinus but I kept thinking that I had a brain tumour.
I get pains in my head now and then which has been identified as muscle tension coming from my neck due to stress. But I kept thinking that I had a brain tumour or a blood clot.
It started to take over my life as I would be thinking of this everyday.
So I have just started seeing a psychologist and have noticed a difference already.
Sorry I have written so much.
