I've posted on here a few times, usually anxiety related panic attacks.
I've recently noticed my hair thinning which is very distressing as a young (ish!) woman and I've started taking a supplement called Maxi Hair. I've been on this for about 12 days now. I don't know if this is related or not, but at around the same time every day, late afternoon, I've started to feel a little panicky, weak, a bit faint and with a sense of something bad about to happen. Sometimes it's accompanied by a hot flush or cold chill.
I realise that by using the word 'panicky' I'm implying anxiety but I don't know how else to describe the feeling. I'm not in pain, it just feels like I'm a little lightheaded and it never lasts for more than an hour or so.
Problem is, now I've convinced myself it's something sinister and I can't enjoy my day to day life. I keep imagining I'm not going to be around to see my 5 year old grow up. I've had a dragging pain in the pelvis for a long time and googled that and the first thing that came up was 'ovarian cancer symptoms'.
I'm so fed up of feeling like this. Can these feelings be down to panic and can you have something like this every day?
I'm sorry to whinge, but there is no one else who understands how I feel and I really appreciate anyone who takes the time to answer. Having health anxiety is certainly a lonely life.
