Hi,
I'm slowly starting to go mad with the various ailments I have but am to scared to take treatment for it due to most of the things I need to take have anxiety listed as a possible side effect so I'm too scared to take them.
1, I have skin fungal infections on various parts of my body the itching is infuriating and also embarrassing , because i've not treated it it has spread around my body so much so that steroid cream wont be up to the job so the doc prescribed me pills for it but the leaflet claims possible side effect of anxiety.
2, I have a hiatus hernia so pretty much suffer bad acid reflux and heartburn every day, docs given me pills for it but again anxiety side effect.
3, I've got sinus congestion which is now effecting my ears, making them feel stuffy, blocked, fuzzy and now started clicking every time i swallow which is freaking me out, docs given me a steroid spray but again it has a possible side effect of anxiety.
I've had chronic anxiety for 20 years now, and gone through various patches of doing ok and being so bad I cannot work, but the anxiety is always there, I'm currently doing ok so don't want to rock the boat as I know one really bad panic attack or new symptom can set me back a few years and can take some time to get over, which is why I'm scared to take the medication I need to take, I've spoke to the doc about this before and they've just told me to not read the label and just take the medication anyway, thing is my mind wont let me do that and I'm also already aware these treatments can cause it so I'm going to panic as soon as I take it now anyway.
I'm at the end of my tether with it none of these things are going to go away without treatment, I feel really run down, has anyone got any advice on how I can get my head around this as things are just going to get worse if I don't.
thanks :)
