Hi everyone,
Just felt like i needed to get some thoughts out of my head... I've been on prozac for 7weeks now and have felt really good for the last 4weeks - until the weekend just gone... all the thoughts about going to sleep and not waking up have come back, not as intensely as I had before but they are still there - yet again I feel like I am going mad and that every little ache and pain must mean something more than anxiety, a pulled muscle or the remnents of a chest infection that I have just gotten over! I KNOW that this is irrational thinking but the aches and pains ARE there and I cant get rid of the anxiety about them.
My current symptoms are:
Indigestion/constant burping/nausea - Bowel/Stomach Cancer
Throat Tightening - Throat Cancer or allergic reaction
Twinges in my chest - Heart attack etc
Back aching by right ribs - Lung Cancer
Piles & constipation - Bowel Cancer - again
Left arm feels strange - Heart again
Left elbow aches - god knows!
There are probably more but these are the main ones but the thing is - as irrational as it is to think that you have 100 different types of cancer there is still that niggling feeling that there really is something wrong but coincedently all the symptoms are the the same as anxiety.
I went to the doctor's today and they've upped my prozac to 40mg, my blood pressure was 124/84 & pulse was 81- which i'm told is fine. My bloods & urine all came back normal 6weeks ago so why do I still think that there is something that they are missing??
If anyone can offer any advice it'd be much appreciated.
MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!!
xxxxxxxx
