I am at my wits end here. I know that I suffer from HA, but I feel like it is caused by some other health problem, rather than the other way about - I know, I'm stupid.
Since November last year I started developing stomach pains and bloating. I went to my GP who took bloods (only because I mentioned that my mum suffered from Chrons). The bloods showed an abnormality, and I was sent for retests 6 weeks later - these came back absolutely fine and I was told I was perfectly healthy. But I certainly didn't feel healthy! I started to feel very weak and fatigued all he time and I lost my appetite.
I kept returning to my GP (and even saw 3 other GP's in the Pactice as well).
So far, I have had around 5 blood tests, two urine samples and a stool sample - all of these have came back clear!
It is incredible frustrating, surely I can't feel so ill every day but actually be completely fine?
My worries have ranged from stomach cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, bowel cancer, I have even recently considered heart disease because my chest is so painful and tight, and I feel pains over my heart.
I get really bad reflux after eating, and sometimes I feel very short of breath. My stomach is constantly bloated and uncomfortable, even when I haven't eaten.
It is now 10 months since my first visit to my GP, I have been referred to a psychologist for CBT which hasn't helped so far, and I STILL feel so run down all the time. I also take Propranolol and Omeprazole, this helps for my panic attacks and reflux but doesn't get rid of them completely.
I am terrified there is something wrong that all of the doctors have missed, and by the time they find it, it will be too late!
I even went to A&E one night, again my bloods were fine!
Surely my bloods don't show everything?
I am so scared, this is ruining my life and my relationship.
