So I have had this crazy fear of lung cancer going on about a month now, convinced I have it, even after chest xrays coming up crystal clear and doctor visits telling me my cough is allergies. Anyways, I have had:
tingling and numbness in my limbs
involuntary deep breaths periodically
trouble sleeping
diahrea and upset stomach
plus I have been going to the gym daily and I seem to be not recovering as quickly as I should be (13 years in the army with daily pt, never had a muscle strain take this long to heal)
and the one that has been taunting me and egging on my lung cancer fear is chest pains, like a sharp stabbing, sometimes burning feeling that comes and goes-plus after a hard running session, at the end I get a sharp pain in my right side, and I have to force myself to inhale deeply for it to go away.
Now I know most of these are symptoms of anxiety, and I am also certain since my xrays came out perfect plus my doc said my lungs sound perfect with no weezing or any signs of sickness that the pains are due to straining my intercoastal muscles.
My question is, to all those who have had HA in the past, how long did these symptoms last before they got better? I myself have been feeling a lot better lately, thanks to the support of my friends and wife, plus this site has been helpful. Mentally, I almost feel back to my normal self, yet some of these symptoms seem to be lingering. So for anyone who has found a way to beat your HA, how long did your symptoms linger?
