Hi guys
just a quick message, because ive been freaking myself out for days now.
I had a sore start last week, it really hurt to swallow, my partner checked my tonsills and they were fine.
Then i developed a full blown cold, lots of nose blowing and lots of mucus, my throat stayed really bad for a week.
On Friday, i looked into my throat with a torch, like an idiot lol. I noticed that i had a patch of blood at the back of my throat, behind the dangly bit, uvula i think its called.
I immediately panicked, and felt ill, i booked to see my GP on the same day.
Went to see him, and showed him my throat and he was calm and said its really common when uve got a cold to get this, so i left there quite relaxed.
On sunday i started getting nose bleeds everytime i blew my nose, not really bad ones, but some blood everytime.
My throat has started to ease a bit and my nose is no where near as congested, which is good. Yesterday my throat was clear, apart from a little normal coloured mucus from my lingering cold.
But this morning, i looked again with the torch and the blood is back, its not as bad as before, but its there again, its running from my nose i think and streaking into my throat, not loads, just a small patch again.
Ive tried to get to my GP again today but i cant get in till tomorrow, but i feel a bit silly for goin again for him to tell me the same thing.
I just feel like i need to be reassured that im not gonna die from it.
I know it sounds silly, and my doctor said not to worry about it, it will clear up, but why cant i stop thinking the worst?
im a mess at the mo, and its making my whole body feel weird, i know its anxiety that is doin it, but i just cant shake this fear that there is blood at the back of my throat. The doc said it was coming from my nose, possibly a burst blood vessel.
HELP!!!!
