Hi,
I'm going through a really bad phase and I was wondering if there's anyone out there who's experienced something similar and who can calm my nerves.
11 years ago, I experienced a low grade fever for 4-5 weeks, which also included facial flushing during the day. I also suffered from night sweats on and off. Then after those few weeks my symptoms disappeared. I was always too scared to go to the Dr about that, so I never did. I haven't had any symptoms like that since then, although I started suffering from bad heart burn and bad stomach symptoms in 2012 which I was convinced was stomach cancer (although my heartburn and symptoms I had back in 2012 have almost gone now). Also in the past couple of years, I've noticed that when I cough hard, my head hurts (pressure), which I'm now scared is a brain tumour. I'm worried all this is linked from my initial fever back in 2005 (I know cancer can cause lengthy fevers). Also, I can feel some of my lymph nodes (but not sure if this is because I'm naturally very slim/petite).
I just want to feel happy again but I'm struggling to when I feel such panic and anxiety over my health. Has anyone experienced any of these symptoms and does this sound like I could be genuinely ill? I'm one of those people who's scared to visit the doctors. I feel very alone. Please help
