Hello all
I have had social anxiety followed by Health anxiety followed by everone elses health anxiety,followed by just anxiety. Social and Health seem to be very strong still. I don't know about everyone else but my anxiety is worse when dusk sets in and early morning. Sometimes I feel seemingly no anxiety and then i feel an ache down my left arm or a cramp like pain in my left hand or my abdomen and the "what if it's" question comes back and hey presto Cold hands shakes,dissiness. The feelings of doom for the future are always present.
I have had a number of tests for my heart and all clear, unless the doctor wont tell me something. No panic attacks yet. Had an appointment for a colonoscopy but I could not go through with it, so I cancelled it after the consultant said he did not think there was a problem but would arrange a colonoscopy to relieve my anxiety. Now I am anxious that I have not had it but equally that I may have it.
How many other parts of my body will I need checking out before I pack it in?
Read an article yesterday about a woman who had severe chest pain when she was young and now she is 35 she had 3 heart attacks and nearly died with a rare heart disorder. My wife had two occassions as a teenager when she could not get up off the bed she says it was like having a knife in the chest and could not move. This has me worrying about if she has this rare disorder that the women in the article was talking about had. I have asked her to go get it checked out but she says she is too busy and that i worry too much.
Hope you all well for the future
Lots of love
