Hello, I have suffered health anxieties for many years now. I also have suffered from panic attacks more recently, this has been worse since both my elderly parents passed away.
Five weeks ago I got a sudden pain In my stomach that progressively got worse over two days. I ended up having an emergency appendectomy as my appendix had perforated. This was my first time in hospital and after five day stay I was let home.
I have had time off work to recover, this is something I never and my absence record has been excellent through my years of employment. This has lead me to lot of thought regarding my health. I have been back to the Doctor on two occasions since regarding my operation and the twinges and discomfort I am having. The Doctor has said this is all usual as nerves have been affected by tge keyhole surgery. He said so long as I have no fevers and am going to the toilet normally then there is no cause for alarm. I usually keep fit and active in the gym but have 9bviously had to have a lay off as not to risk hernia in any of the entry sites (three in total)
How can I be more positive to aid my recovery? I am walking my dogs and look well according to others but still have so many racing thoughts.
