Hi everyone,
Seemas as this is the site for me. I have recently become aware that i suffer from health anxiety. however since i have cecome aware of this things seem to have become worse. I have physical symptoms like, shortness of breath, chest pain, i feel like i am momentarily going to faint, slight dizzyness, does anyone else suffer these symptoms? are these normal?
I keep thinking maybe I am not suffering with this but instead I am eally ill, but thats the whole point of this isnt it. I worry that me being aware of my health anxiety may mask real health concerns in the future.
i am currently feeling very stressed too, I am having a few marital issues and work issues and i am having to cover my work load and someone elses while we wait for someone to start work. Could all of these issues make my anxiety worse?
I believe this all began when my daugher had meningitis and was left at home for a day as dr's thought she was just under the weather, my trust went then, then my dad was diagnosed with cancer (he has had the all clear for 3 years now!). i belive these are things poeple never think will happen to you, i have learnt that they do.
What I would like to achieve from joining this site is to realise I am not alone, and maybe my symptoms are experienced by other suffers too.
Thank you
