Hey all,
I havent posted here in over 4 years but this last year my health anxiety is creeeping back, along with my Dr Google obsession.
Ive been feeling run down for the last 7 days or so, woke up last saturday feeling hot and running a temperature. Generally feeling like its a virus, muscle aches, glands up in my neck I think and headache with losing and gaining an appetite depending on the day.
Id say it was a virus if I had a cold with it but the only thing ive noticed is that im sneezing throughout the day and nose feels tingly but its never turned to a full blown cold. I feel hot and cold sometimes too.
Day 7...feeling betterr than yesterday and the day before that I was out drinking at a friends but still felt rough. Oh im sniffing too but like i say, no full cold just an odd kinda half cold feeling.
of course i googled and saw Cancer and low fever etc, plus the sertraline I take causes some night sweats for me around my period. Worrying its undiagnosed cancer or something terrible even though i know its highly unlikely. I know no-one is a medical professional here but just really looking for reassurance at this point cos I feel myself spiralling into a panic as the days pass. Going to the dr might help for a couple days but at this rate I'm gonna make my symptoms worse.
Any calming thoughts or advice for when you feel this way would truly help as I think my family are fed up by now of hearing it.
