Hey everyone, I'm going to the doctor tomorrow because for the past week I've had what feels like a lump in my throat.
It started with that, but today it got so bad that I had to leave work early.
Over the course of the week I've gained the following symptoms which are pretty persistant.
-Shortness of breath
-Mild trouble swallowing
-Feeling feverish
-Lethargic
-Dizzy/completely out of it.
-Constipation/irritable bowels
-Hoarseness in voice
And Thse symptoms which come and go:
-Mild pain under my ribs
-sweaty/clammy hands/feet
-itching
-chest pains
-slight loss of apetite
I've had bad anxiety before, but if that's all that's happening right now, it's pretty much the worst I've ever had it.
Can the symptoms be this persistant for a week and keep getting worse, with panic attacks inbetween?
The PA's really started when on the weekend, I was working out.
I pushed myself pretty hard, considering how lightheaded I was feeling anyway, but I tried to do my normal workout.
I had a pretty big coughing fit.
Later, still feeling like I had something in my throat, I spit, and there were specks of blood in my mucus.:scared15:
It hasn't happened again, but obviously if you already have health anxiety this is the worst possible thing you can see.
I'm hoping it's just because I really overworked myself (which I did), or that I actually just have a throat infection of some kind.
My mind keeps racing to throat or lung cancer, and It's destroying me.
Barring the last bit of nastiness, are the other symptoms lasting 8 days normal for anxiety?
I'd appreciate any feedback.
