Hi been reading through the forum for couple of weeks now. It is helping me a lot to see I am not on my own. I have been suffering from health anxiety since 3 months (well probably started long before, but never realized it)
My first panick attack was in the middle of the night. 1am. It was scary. One of my colleagues at work had only died couple of days before this and he was 36 and basicaly dropped dead with a blood clot in his brain. I used to smoke 20 a day until that night. At 1am me and my husband were in bed when suddenly I felt the "water running" in my head and thought I am havin a brain haemorrage, so I called 999 and was scared to move my head and the bed was shaking like in excorsist as I was shaking so much and felt like fainting. The Ambualnce came and said everything is fine and it was probably just a panick attack and still took me to hospital for reassurance.
2 days later I was driving my car and thought I was having a heat attack, stopped the car and the car behind me called the ambulance. All fine.
I had then tenison head aches for 2 weeks after that. I decided to change my job as it was very stressfull and decided to become self employed.
All was fine until 4 weeks ago. Since non stop anxiety scare...all sorts of symptoms. I had a abcess on my nose and the doctor I saw said that I need to take antibihotics to avoid it speading to my brain. GREAT. Here we go again and since I have not been able to come out of my anxiety. Twitches, tingles everywhere. stiff neck and shoulders, face pain, nose pain like some one hit me with a hammer, chin ache, ear ache, throat ache, which seems to be linked to my jaw and the newest of symtoms is constant feeling of sickness and burning in throat like u want to throw up. Not happy about that and it is scaring me. Anybody have the same???
Trying to relax everyday, but can't get back to normal.
I seem to have the fear of dying and health anxiety thing and its not good.
We have been nealy burgeld on Tuesday, but my dog protected the house fortunatly, but since I have not been able to sleep properly, this happend at midnight Tuesday and all the other nights some of my neighbours alarms where going off. So annoying.
I have been having diarrhea now for approx 2 weeks (on and off) and now this feeling of sickness together with tiredness and dizziness, headaches and neck aches. This is scaring me so much.
Thanks for reading and thanks for this forum.
