So I'm not sure where to start I'm 27 have 2 beautiful children a fantastic husband and I'm finding it pretty hard to enjoy life at the minute
It all started when I was pregnant the second time round around 8 months ago when I convinced my self that I had pre-eclampsia I didn't I just had elephant feet but it's spiralled out of control since then and I just don't know what to do
Ive suffered from anxiety for a while now but only ever over general day to day things never my health now it's all I can think about and even though I tell myself it's the anxiety I can't help but think what if it's not 🙁
We ended up getting sent back to the hospital when my little one was only 4 days old as he had jaundice but at the same time I was having pains in my chest and dizzyness I was admitted aswell convinced a had a blood clot of some form and after many extensive tests found everything was fine and looking back I think they may have been panic attacks
Second health scare I started getting bad headaches, worse dizzness, blurree vision etc I convinced myself i had a brain tumour doctors put down to tiredness and stress and within a week I felt better
Then came the next one after being put on the pill I started experiencing abnormal bleeding lasting over 3 weeks I convinced myself i had cervical cancer and that they hadn't done my smear properly only a year earlier turns out my body does not take kindly to birth control
Current situation little boy is now 5 months I'm not breast feeding but started experiencing pain in my right breast in the bone I've suffered from costochondriotus (that's not how you spell it) for a few years now and convinced myself it was something worse since then the pain has spread into my breast upto my armpit and down my arm and into a knot in my back it's not there all the time and gets worse when I think about it my 1st doctor examined me couldn't feel any lump no breast difference no other symptoms I've been back again today as my nipple is itching (probably me again) different doctor today felt my pectoral muscle which was really sore and said this and hormones are the cause but I just can't believe it and it's destroying me I'm not sleeping, have no concentration, feel like I'm shutting myself away I just don't no what to do I need someone to tell me I'm not the only one
Sorry for the long post i just needed to get it all off my chest
Oh and to add to the stress my husbands nans just died from blood poisoning and my nan has just been diagnosed with lukemia and all I can think about is watching my babies grow up
Thanks
