Argh! I am really failing with my HA. I am spending ages checking my symptoms
On internet and making myself more and more stressed. I had a stomach bug which turned into gastritis and acid reflux. Those symptoms stressed me out and then I started to get more symptoms. I went on omeprazole but had a nerve twinge sensation when food going down and now I have chest pain and burning, a tight feeling in chest and a lump in throat. When I went to go she said it was anxiety and not to worry but gave me some citalopram. I still have the lump in throat and tightness in chest and I am worried that when I swallow it burns. I am terrified I have something wrong with my oesophagus. The more I google the worse I am. It I can't seem to help myself. I am having panic attacks where my whole chest is burning and my heart races. I had initial CBT appt yesterday and on day 3 of the meds.
Can anyone relate to symptoms being anxiety?
I am going back to gp today as I go away Saturday and I might need to up PPI or cit. I am worried about big C (although it is very rare in under 50s) and having a camera down my throat. This is my second reflux episode this year and both times were accompanied by crippling anxiety.
Anyone share similar experiences? I am beside myself with fear. 😭
