First and foremost, Merry Christmas to everyone!
I've been having health anxiety issues for about a year now, visited over 30 different doctors since january so yeah.. Not so good. I also diagnosed myself with plenty of illnesses. Yup, classic scenario. On tuesday night, I gulped down two large glasses of water at once, felt kinda gross and sick and decided to (!) google some symptoms (yaaay......) and therefore discovered 'water intoxication'. I began panicking and went to the nearest ER. Everyone there looked at me as if I were completely insane. Anyway, they administered some sodium chloride and I felt better afterwards. Yesterday I woke up later than usual, I felt groggy and weak the entire day (probably anxiety related) and I also limited my water consumption, but I cannot convince myself that I'm in no danger. And to top it all of, out of nowhere my right leg started hurting tonight. So now I'm also re-experiencing an uncontrollable DVT fear (had a negative d-dimer test a month ago). So yeah, double trouble :(
