Hi all,
I have had my fair share of Health Anxiety worries over the past 4 weeks. Started off with tummy pains, then the Dr told me I had a hernia, I panicked, other Drs told me that it wasn't a hernia and it was IBS. I have been having tummy problems, which has triggered my panic attacks, and got a really bad sinus infection on holiday, which made me feel more anxious.
To cut a long story short, I have been to the Drs quite a lot of the past month over aches, pains, concerns, anxious about health etc. They are now telling me to go on Anti Depressants as I seem not to be coping. I was considering taking them again, although it just occurred to me that this is a quick fix to the problem.
As with us all here, we are convinced something really bad is underneath it all. Why are they telling me to go on Anti D's when they should be reassuring me. I can't help feeling anxious with new pains, changes in bowel movements, sinusitis etc. It's just a bad time for me.
Does anyone else have a similar problem with your Drs?
