Hi
I have just registered after initially reading this forum on Wednesday after my GP told me I was suffering with anxiety following an Ectopic Pregnancy where I lost my baby and had to have a fallopian tube removed. This was 7 weeks ago. I am not sure that I believe what the GP is saying but my family and friends are saying I must listen. The symptoms I am suffering with are very real and painful and I am feeling very distressed, I feel like they are trying to say I am imagining them I am not at all
I gave up smoking 3 weeks ago to help preserve my remaining FT and to help get pregnant more easily. to do this I read various website to help me. When I had my ectopic pregnancy, I was also told my Liver Function Tests were a bit out of range and because I had been having pains in the lower right hand side of my back I assumed the worst and worried, However my GP said that it was nothing to worry about and I would be ok, just needed to repeat them.
Then last week after having the bloods done (at this stage I didnt know they came back abnormal again) I have had terrible burning sensations down the right side of my body for nearly a week now on and off. Sometimes in my back sometimes shoulder and neck and I started getting pain in my breast. the burning goes away and comes. I also had joint pain in my fingers and tinglin in my legs and was sore under my arms. I found out my LFT's were deranged again and so spent a weekend panicking and crying thinking I am going to die. I cant help googling things and have been doing this for past fortnight nearly now and it is scaring me
I went to see my GP on Monday as an emergency and he checked my breast and said it was fine, nothing to worry about and also ordred a whole host of blood tests, He asked me what I though was wrong and I said I thought I had a rapid cancer that was spreadiing to lungs, breast and
Liver. He is not my normal GP and I had an appintment about the LFT on the wednesday and told me to explain how I felt to the Doctor and hopeful the blood tests would be back and he felt anxiety and loosing baby etc was causing this
I went to see my GP on Wednesday and she said blood tests were fine and asked how I was and I burst out crying, she put me on cipramil and said the aches and pains were down to "anxiety state". I felt fobbed off but she reasured me I would be ok and that all my bloods were ok.
I still have the breast pain when I breath in and the burning sensation came back last night all down my chest, arm and shoulder blade and I felt terrified
I therefore decided to go and see a private consulant but need a referral from my GP, she will not give me one, as she said I am fine and need to get in control on my anxiety. She is seeing me wednesay (she fitted me in as she is very popular so I should be grateful) and has now given me another sedative to calm me down over the weekend. I was very honest and said I can understand where she is coming from but I am getting these pains and so surely there IS something underlying here but she said I need to trust her. I also got told to stop looking up health symptoms on the internet.She keeps saying the bloods I had done are fine (they did 20 different blood tests) My breast is still painful and I cant help poking it to feel for lumps I have the burning sensation. its like heartburn
Today I have stared to feel like I want to throw up. My husband is at end of his tether I think but trying to remain supportivne
I have always been a very anxious person anyway and have suffered in the past with depression but have always managed to cope or pull through with help of meds etc
My mum passed away 10 years ago with advanced breast cancer so this fuels my fears and anxiety
I dont know what to do anymore and feel out of my mind,
