I am new to this site and im hoping you can help me.
I am 34 years old and after the death of a younger family member last year to Brain Cancer have developed a health anxiety which has resulted in 2 trips to hospital due to panic attacks.
I have improved a lot over the last few months thanks to my fantastic husband who has been so supportive and my rock.
I still have 2 health concerns though that wont go away
1. Ovarian Cancer - my stomach seems swollen to me although my husband says its not - have had some pain and wind (all on the symptons list)
2. Stroke/Brain Hemorrage - having already had 1 stroke about 12 years ago - due to some medication i am concerned that this makes it more likely that I will have another one.
I feel silly talking to the doctor - dont know what to do
Any help would be greatly appreciated
