So recently my HA has been flaring up. First of all thought I had lymphoma over Christmas, on NYE thought I was getting oesophageal cancer, and today I'm scared I have stomach cancer.
I saw my GP today, and told him my worries, and he prescribed me 20mg of Fluoxetine, and referred me to a talking therapy clinic. He also examined my throat, my neck, and my stomach (poked and prodded). And then said he wasn't worried about anything and couldn't see anything sinister.
I have a lot of gas, and I feel a pressure high up in my stomach. I have lost my appetite recently (it was never that big before), but now have got to the stage where I don't find many things appetising. I eat things here and there, and I don't have any pain in my chest from acid or anything.
I haven't vomited blood up, although I did vomit on NYE (perhaps due to the anxiety) and I keep obsessing over my stools.. no blood or black and tarryness so far.
I'm 17 and no matter how much I keep telling myself I don't have stomach cancer, I cannot seem to bring myself to believe it. Dr Google hasn't helped me much either, I can't believe I keep googling things :(
Any advice?
