Hi all. I have done really well with my health anxiety and haven't had a problem with it for over a year now.
However the other week I was sat drying my hair and suddenly I had a really deep thought which basically made me zone out. I thought I was back at uni talking to my mates. I suddenly snapped out of this thought but it really scares me and suddenly a huge migraine hit me. I was in bed for the whole day and was so so ill. Anyway since then I've been having these weird moments where I will suddenly feel very strange (out of breath, light headed etc) and a headache will follow. Yesterday was the worst day so far. I was at uni and I had about 4 of these moments out of the blue and ended up feeling very anxious and faint. I can't even remember certain points of the day. Last night I slept for AGES (about 12 hours) and today thought I felt a little better, however I'm out with my family now and I feel almost as if I'm experiencing derealisation (my health anxiety used to make me feel like this) I feel very anxious and spaced out. And I've just had another weird moment where I went light headed and faint and now have a bad headache again.
I'm terrified. Please help and tell me what you think is wrong. I don't want to look online as I don't want my health anxiety to spiral again like it did last year with brain tumour fears etc!!
