I'm still struggling with my health anxiety. I'm convincing myself I now have a) a hiatus hernia b) gallstones (I've already had my gallbladder removed so know this pain is dreadful) or c) some kind of stomach tumor/cancer. In the last year and a bit I've diagnosed myself with so much and I've had none of it so why can't I get my head around this?!.
Yesterday I took my daughter shopping and had a panic attack in the Disney store (the same Disney store I had a panic attack in a few months ago when I was in the middle of a brain tumor spiral which was an inner ear infection) I'm so annoyed I'm still on this.
This chest "pain"/ discomfort has been lingering for a few weeks now and I've seen my dr twice and she thinks it's muscle tension due to anxiety which makes sense as I'm wound up like a spring. I've also associated the discomfort feeling with food so now I'm worried every time I eat I'm gonna be in agony after. It happened once about 6 weeks ago after a very rich roast beef dinner.
I have an ache that goes across my back and down the right side of my ribs feel tender to touch. I've been here saying this for a while now but I'm not sure where to go next. My dr said its best not to go back onto my sertraline until I'm having 4 or 5 constant bad days a week but the feeling come and go every day some worse than others. She has t mentioned cbt so maybe she thinks that won't help? I don't want to keep going back to her and wasting her time over what she thinks is a pulled muscle.
I also hate my job I've recently transferred and I'm with people I don't get on with feeling like I'm constantly trying to keep everyone happy so I'm left alone I'm dreading tomorrow morning
