Hi.
Further to the message I posted earlier this week about my accident at the weekend, my health anxiety has returned with a vengence.
After banging my head in the crash, I (predictably) felt rough and to be honest, although I dont feel as bad as I did on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, I still feel a bit under the weather (shakey, a little dizzy and a bit sick when I first wake up).
I was checked out by the ambulance paramedics at the scene, had advice given from Primary Care and even went to A & E on Monday where I was told to go home and take paracetamol if my headaches got any worse, but if they got REAL worse to go back. Well, none of the symptoms have got any worse, they just seem to be lingering.
But, I have to say that I'm absolutely bricking myself incase they medics/doctors have missed something and I keel over with a fractured skull or some kind of trauma to my brain. I'm really scared. But then, I'm wondering if this relapse of HA could be contributing to the shakiness, dizziness and the feeling sick?????
My wife has said that she thinks I'm looking and sounding so much better, but I feel like I'm walking a tightrope and my symptoms could be a result of the head bump (which I'm hoping is settling down now) but being made worse by the fact that I'm worried sick by the HA.
Any words of reassurance would be gratefully received. Thanks
Dan
