How does someone know they have healthanxiety.
My medical doctor told me I probably have health anxiety. That is until he saw my blood work and seen that that my absolute eosinophils were out of range .( a form of white blood cells)
Then he went into worst case scenario that it might be cancer :lac:
He then proceeded to test me for allergies, Rheumatoid arthritis , parasites, lung x-ray , autoimmune disorder , and a cancer screen. This has me freaked out but then my other doctor ( got a second opinion ) said it might had been a lab error because all my other white blood cells came out normal range. So it doesn't add up .she ran my blood work and told me she highly doubts its cancer .
:huh: my psychiatrist told me the same and said it just might be that I'm still fighting some virus I caught 2months ago :mad:
I'm thinking the same since I did my physical august 2016 and everything was normal . Then I caught a virus nov 2016 and now my system is out of whack .
I also have anxiety /insomnia but I think my sleep is getting a little better as I sometimes sleep 2hrs straight then after wake up every 1hr /1.5 hrs compare to waking up every 45 mins -1hr the whole night and was having panic attacks now no more panic attacks
I also have Ativan, trazadone , and zyprexa to help me sleep but I only take 2-3 times a week since I'm in school and sometimes I need a good night sleep for tests or an important lecture plus I see a sleep therapist :unsure: I'm a start working out to get a better grip of my anxiety . So far it has diminished without meds .
I just got tired of worrying about my insomnia and I'm really not sitting here worrying about my blood work and chest X-ray just yet . I'm sure once I go to my doctor appointment I'm a freak out.
The only thing I care about fixing is my sleep as I miss sleeping 9-10hrs
How does one develop health anxiety ? I don't think I have health anxiety . Since before this virus hit me I would only go to the doctor once a year for my physical check up or when I had a horrible sore throat/cold which was maybe once a year too.
Now I live at the doctors and then this doctor points out I probably suffer from health anxiety . My psychiatrist told me I don't suffer from that . This is making me feel like my doctor probably thinks I'm crazy or something .and makes me not want to see him anymore . So I'm a ask to see the other doctor in that office instead
I did tell my psychiatrist I'm scared to develop health anxiety . Since something always keeps coming up after this virus I caught .im starting to think maybe I caught something more dangerous .
Ugh
