Haven't posted on here for a while as thought I had my health anxiety under control. But think that's just because I'd been through whole heap of tests back around Oct last year, and following usual pattern, the anxiety comes back again about a different health issue that hasn't been investigated for a while.
I've had a few more migraines than usual over past few months, tension headaches pretty regularly, and a sinus infection which was treated but still lurking in terms of blocked ears etc. A couple of weeks ago noticed some eye pain and really sore in bones around eye sockets and left temple. Feeling off balance but not actually falling over or anything. Thought it could be sinus infection again so doctor put me on antibiotics, but hasn't helped. Headaches have been constant and really strong. Waking in night wide awake with adrenalin rushes.
Doctor sending me for MRI tomorrow and whilst that's what I wanted, I'm now petrified, thinking this is all down to something in brain causing pressure. My dad died of brain tumour 10 years ago and my logical mind says it's not hereditary, highly unlikely, and more likely to be something else made worse by anxiety. I have an almost 4 year old son and I'm so scared of something happening to me while he is so young. We recently moved interstate and things should be really positive in my life right now, which is always when health anxiety seems to kick in and try and sabotage things!
It is weird when you're actually sitting here thinking I hope this is just terrible anxiety as the cause!
