Hey everyone, second post here in a week (I think?). Went to the doctor on Friday about the forehead lumps I had found in the last post and was told they were nothing to be concerned about (relief!). Was unfortunately sent to the hospital with suspect appendicitis but luckily an ultrasound showed it wasn’t. I was severely dehydrated though and kept in on fluids but all good otherwise.
The stress of this (among all other things) though now has me worrying about this chest pain I’ve been having since March. I stated taking roaccutane which can cause costochondritis around the same time so I know they are related. However, my anxiety likes to tell me otherwise.
I’m absolutely terrified the pain is being caused by a tumor (even though it’s not). My sternum hurts to press on it when I’m leaning forward or in other positions and it hasn’t even been that bad lately but my mind likes to tell me it’s dangerous and going to kill me 😭
This anxiety absolutely sucks, I wish I could find a way to deal with my stress better so that it wouldn’t be spilling over into this health anxiety 😭
