This health anxiety is an actual bloody ordeal, isn't it?
Yesterday it was some form of serious gut disease, and today I have a pain in the right side of my head and naturally my anxiety thinks it's an aneurysm.
This pain is dull but constant, I thought it was because I had my hair in too tight of a bun as letting it down provided a degree of relief, however, it's still there.
Like the fool that I am, I googled it. I know, healthy anxiety rule No.1 is "do not google" but I couldn't help it. I noticed it mentioned a dilated pupil as a potential symptom so I grabbed my mirror and stared at my eyes, only to find that my right eye (the same side as the pain) looked, to me, to be about a millimetre more dilated. I shone a light into my eyes and they both shrink down pretty evenly, I don't know whether that means anything or not.
Thoughts? Experiences? Similar symptoms? Anyone?
