Hi all
I'm almost certain that this is anxiety related but any reassurance would be appreciated.
Had a very down week last week. Everything has caught up with me. Been through ALOT these past 7 weeks (including a two week stay in hospital, my dad passing away and also dealing with the stress of seeing blood spots in my urine since catheter was removed - since cleared up).
At the end of last week I started to get stomach pains and aches lower down in the pelvic region. I was restless and had trouble sleeping. I also started to get the constant sensation I needed to go for a pee ALL THE TIME! Even when I've just been! It's sooooooo annoying.
I have always suffered with anxiety and the physical symptoms it includes but the peeing thing is new to me.
Had 2 urine tests done recently. No infections. And had numerous blood tests in hospital.
Doc reckons it's possibly an overactive bladder caused by anxiety or an overactive bladder post cathetre (which, even 5 weeks post removal, can be common).
All the physical issues all came together at the end of a very stressful week so I'm certain it's nothing to panic about but was looking for similar stories...
Thanks
