Good Evening,
I hope that health anxiety is not getting to you too much this evening. I have been on and off this site for months, and found it to be incredibly helpful through coping with health anxiety.
I have a few symptoms that I wanted to check with anyone on here who may have had similar.
For the past 2 months I have had an achy jaw where the tm joint is, a kind of blocked feeling in the ear on that side, and sometimes the feeling that my glands on that side want to come up but don't, just a slight tender feeling on and off there. I have what looks like a 2nd wisdom tooth coming through that same side (as I already have 1 there). I went to the dentist yesterday for a check up and he confirmed that the tooth is pretty much through however I can see another 3 points of a tooth poking through next to it, he did not mention this one! As I have had achiness on that side he did a x-ray to make sure that the wisdom tooth has come through ok at the root. I am petrified as to what he may see from the x-ray, and have to wait 2 weeks to go back to have some filings done and also a month guard made as the dentist says that I must grind my teeth at night as they are very worn down at the front. This does make sense as I suppose it could also be causing the jaw ache.
To top all of this off, I have had a tickly feeling on and off in the right hand side of my throat since October last year, it has not got worse but is very annoying as I cannot stop thinking about it, I seem to spend my whole life trying to get it to go away.
I am 24 and being consumed by health anxiety. If anyone has experienced any of the above I would love to hear from you.
Many Thanks in advance,
Ali
PS I am currently have CBT and have been having it since June.
