Hi there.
I've think I've been getting some health anxiety lately well I hope it's just health anxiety and not the actual condition I'm afraid of (if this makes any sense). I made a previous forum about some symptoms that I was having and wasn't sure if they were a result of Zoloft. I've considered IBS ect but I'm worried because my symptom started with a muscle twitch in the genital area about 2 days into zoloft. I also started getting an overactive bladder. I ignored this at first but worried when this carried on. When I googled this symptom it came up with a frighting condition called pgad which is rare but if you have it's basically game over and suffering for life. I started worrying about this but put it down to a UTI but I didn't have one. Then things got worse when I found out that SSRIS (zoloft is an ssri) can cause this condition. So I stopped taking them. I started worrying about this 24/7 but when I started getting constipation issues I linked it to this so I stopped worrying since I found out constipation can cause bladder issues. I was on holiday at the time and didn't really feel any symptoms for the rest of the holiday. Not long after returning the muscle spasms started again and become more frequent as time went on and I started panicking again. The muscle spasms kind of feel like I have to pee but I'm having them in my bottom as well.Then the constipation came back and I started to feel like this muscle spasm was spreading and I also started getting a tingling and pressure feling kind of like needing to urinate. I found out that a woman got the same first symptom that I did while taking an SSRI and she suffers from the condition through google. This really freaked me out and I had laxatives for constipation but it didn't seem to help all of my issues. I'm so terrified of this issue that I can't sleep and I haven't been eating meals, I spend the whole day panicking and googling my symptoms to try and connect differences to this condition and what I'm experiencing. I know I don't suffer as bad as people who have it but I worry about my symptoms being early signs or something. I don't feel like myself anymore and I'm too embarrassed to speak to anyone about it so that's why I'm posting it here. I'm still waiting for results for a water test that was sent off. I really hope this is just some sort of urine or bladder issue or possibly even an infection. Or mabey IBS has symptoms I don't know about . Does anybody know if I could just be panicking over nothing and have possibly something different to what I'm fearing or possibly make these symptoms worse by panicking? I do have anxiety so could I have possibly made these symptoms worse by looking into this condition? I'm desperate so any help or advise would be appreciated. I think I just need my mind to be reassured that I don't have this condition and mabey I will feel better.
