Suppose really I'm looking for some reassurance....I just want to know if aches and pains, almost not a pain but a sense of "something in the chest area, and a tightness in the chest are signs of anxiety?
My story is that a few weeks ago now I convinced myself that I had something really serious because I had a "lump" in my breast, I then had pins and needles in my hands and feet and a real sense of unwellness.. The lump turned out to be nothing and the pins and needles etc disappeared...
I then went to the dr's because I was convinced I had MS because of the pins and needles, my lovely dr sent me for full blood tests etc, got the results back early adn called me himself that day to say - nothing wrong with you whatsoever... and I felt fine since then.
On Saturday, I did the worse thing every for someone that suffers with acid reflux/indegestion and ate hot bacon rolls in the morning, having not taking my table that I am supposed to take daily for over a week... Then during the morning got a really bad pain across my chest, which I "think" was the indegestion kicking in, but was really bad - this then seemed to panic me, and neded up with back ache, arms and neck aching etc etc and I ptu down to having indegestion, coupled with anxiety because of the pain, then spent the whole day miserable and worried every time I even felt a twinge as thought I was going to have a heart attack!
I really dont know what to do with myself because its like even if I have an "ache" becuaes pulled a muscle or something I literally feel myself go "what was that" what does it mean, etc etc and I know its rediculous, but its becoming exhausting...
I'm sitting here now writing this and thinking I have back ache, a bit of a sore throat, the top of my arm aches and my chest feels a bit tight... Why cant I think back ache - bad chair, sore throat, air conditioning, arm ache, lifting buckets of water yesterday and chest tight because stressed.... I think - all joined up to gether and means something really serious....>!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
