Hi all,
Well here's my story. About a year ago I was sitting at work and suddenly started to feel dizzy, chest pain, tingling arms and couldnt breath. I lay down for about 30 min and it went away. The next day it happened again so I went to the doctor thinking I was about to have a heart attack at 31 yo. He sent me for tests at hospital and all was fine. He told me I had a panic attack and I was suffering from anxiety. This made me feel better as I thought there was nothing wrong with me. But a few months later they started to come back and I started to think there was something wrong with me all the time, for example I saw an ad on a bus stop for mouth cancer awareness and i was then googleing the symptoms and convinced myself I had it. I have been thinking about ever little thing my body does and i end up checking the symptoms and convince myself there is something wrong with me. I've been back to the GP and she said they would get a counsellor to contact me but theres been no contact as yet and as its NHS I think it might take a while. I really want to get this sorted so that I can just feel happy again as I haven't done so for a long time now!!! Has anyone got any tips to help me with the negative thoughts, worry etc????
Much appreciated if you do!!!
