Hello-
I’m 7 month postpartum and my anxiety has been pretty bad. I am onn20mg if lexapro and I don’t feel like it’s helping too much but I know that I suffer from extrem health anxiety, some OCD and generalized anxiety. I’ve been trying to approach symptoms logically and level headed. But for the past FOUR MONTHS I have had this crazy mid back pain. It wraps around my ribs sometimes, it hurts my sternum to touch my chin to my chest. I’ve been doing stretching, trying not to carry my baby overly but this is hard since I stay home with her. I have been to the GP twice and they don’t think I need any testing and that it’s likley muscular. Of course I read online that it’s either lung cancer or pancreatic so I’m freaking out. I’m 35 and I don’t think it’s normal to wake up with your sternum aching and my mid pack feeling tight and with sharp pain. It’s usually worse when I wake up, for awhile it hurt me so bad it was waking me up at night, once I get moving it isn’t as noticeable. I don’t know if I should go back to the doctor again.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thank you
