Hi all,
I wonder if anyone has had sinusitis badly where their nasal passages were constantly blocked up? I have had this on and off since Christmas following the flu and have had several nosebleeds, but was totally freaked out when I coughed up some bloody mucus for a couple of days last week. Sorry to be so graphic! I have been to the Doctors twice. The first time he gave me antibiotics and the second time he assured me I was ok and did not need any more pills or potions and it would eventually clear up. I should have been reassured by this, but have been on panic alert all week with every cough and sneeze. Totally living in fear of it happening again! I have been constantly googling symptoms and have become obsessed. It has taken over all my thoughts this week and I am making things miserable for everyone in the family. I feel so guilty that I am being so selfish and focusing on myself so much, but I cannot seem to break the habit at the moment. I have never experienced Health anxiety before now, I have just had fear of crowded places of which I have almost recovered from due to hypnotherapy! I just feel that all the positive things I have achieved have been lost to this new obsession. Any help would be gratefully apreciated.
