Hi Everyone, I`m Emily.
Hi,I think I have health anxiety or general anxiety or both. I have common symptoms like dizziness,worry,feeling of impending doom,worrying about my health but nothing bad happens to me,small panic attacks,nausea sometimes, random pains in my body at times, like in my left arm and by my left or right breast like twingy little pains, small sharp pain in my chest every once in awhile,heart flutters at random times but i have had them more lately, i have had shortness of breath a few times but even at rest and i dont get it when i use the treadmill or walk outside and if i do breathing exercises it seems to help. So any little thing that happens to my body or chest area makes me worry and feel scared. I am scared theres something wrong with my heart or that i`m gonna have a heart attack even though nothing serious ever happens to me. Whats funny is when i`m out doing fun things i dont get hardly any symptoms cause my mind isnt thinking about it i guess?
Back in november 2016 I started having pains off and on in my head, like a ice pick type headache and i was so worried that i had something serious like a brain tumor, i went to see the doctor about it in may and she said it was a type of migraine she prescribed me Amitriptyline its for anxiety and depression but its often prescribed to people with mirgraines, I have not taken it partly because i am scared of side effects and because i haven`t had the headaches hardly at all since i saw the doctor. I kind of want to start taking it to see if it helps me calm down. She also said everything else looked fine with me with a general check up.
For the past few days I also have been overly aware of my heart beat,like i feel/hear it when sitting down,its not fast i can just hear it more then usual.
Like last night when i was just resting i had a small weird pain in my upper left arm that would last a few seconds off and on and come on randomly over a couple hours but went away, i have had the same type of weird pain in my lower left arm in the past but i have had this once in awhile ever since the problem with my headaches came up back in november 2016.
What I want to know is what i have health anxiety or generalized anxiety? Cause i worry about my health more then anything and could have worrying about my head aches brought on the anxiety even though I don`t worry about the headaches anymore? Because before they started I never had anxiety symptoms.
Monday I started taking Triple Calm Magnesium 150 mg twice a day to see if it helps.
I`m 31, I dont have any other health problems that i know of, i exercise,eat right and i don`t smoke. i am over weight but I have lost weight and changed how i eat. I started my diet in december 2016 and I am down to 210 so far, i use to weight 302. So i am trying to take care of my health.
