Hey all,
I've had bad health anxiety on and off for nearly 2 years now. I'm 21 (22 next week). The last few weeks have been hell and I'm not sure why. I've had a some trouble recently with one of my wisdom teeth it developed pericoronitis twice (pretty tame infection because there is no room for tooth to come through properly) and I've been advised to have the tooth out which I am doing next month.
Thing is the last few weeks I have felt so much worse than ever before. Feeling generally unwell, headaches (constantly), really tired all the time, changes in temperature, pressure in head...the list goes on. I guess what I'm trying to find out is; are these signs that I am actually sick or is this just a bad bout of anxiety??
It's so hard to tell anymore. I've booked a doctor's appointment but even then I'm not optimistic that I'll actually find anything out. My brother's wedding is in two weeks, my birthday is next week and his stag do is on Saturday. I'm just worried that the way I'm feeling is going to ruin all of these things. Some help/advice would be very much appreciated!!
thanks,
Paul
