My mother has just been diagnosed with a terminal illness. It wasn't unexpected as she has been poorly for some time, I think we knew it would happen.
What I can't get my head around is the physical symptoms I am having. My chest hurts, my arms, shoulders and neck ache. Internally it's like a washing machine going round. I feel like I'm about to have a heart attack. Is this usual?
I don't know how to get rid of these symptoms, I need to be well to cope with looking after my mother. I have barely cried, just feel physically ill.
