hi just thought i'd introduce myself as a fellow health-anxiety sufferer. I've had this on and off for about 4 years now (im now 23).
My main concerns are being diagnosed with a horrible disease/illness (i oddly dont worry about 'instant' death & have no problem taking certain risks, for me its more the thought of living with a terminal illness), heart palpitations/ectopic beats, a feeling of 'buzzing' or 'vibrating' in my whole body (the best way i can describe this is like if u were to hold down the accelerator of the car whilst parked!) respiratory conditions (i get a horrible 'crackling' feeling in my throat like popping candy - anyone else get this???).
At the moment im worried cuz about a month ago i went for a whole range of blood tests to try & find the cause of my palpitations, and they all came back normal, however the other day I got a letter from my GP saying 'further to your recent blood tests, the dr would like you to come back in for more blood tests'. This is really worrying my cuz I cant stop thinking why on earth i need more tests, there must be something wrong?! I've made the appointment but unforutnately cant go for another week,and then after that it'll be about another week for the results :-(
Anyway glad i've found somewhere to meet people going through the same horrible experiences as me...
