hi i agree with health visitor.. it sounds like you have anxiety, its not nice .affects you in many ways including the symptoms you have are main ones ,,instead of your doc saying silly things they should be looking into how they can help you.:welcome: plus you are a young mum ,,they should take that into consideration,, how old is you baby please ,,i just wondered did this start sfter baby was born ,,if so it could be your hormones have become unbalanced you can ask for a hormone test ,just to be sure its not that ,i was a nurse 15 years ,i cant tell you what whats causing your panic but i advice you to have test done if you scroll down on the left you will see anxiety if you click it will give you symptoms be strong ,,mags

Hi young mum,

Yes, you seem to be having anxiety. Keep in touch with the doctor and your health visitor. They are both there to help and support you, even though they say silly things sometime. It's their job to help you get better, especially if you have young children and feeling rotten. Anxiety is horrible but you can get better.
Take care
