Hi everyone,
Just needed some support at the moment... im really struggling. I have had quite bad Health Anxiety for some months now and its gotten to the stage where im convinced im dying. I have daily headaches, face pain, pressure in my head, eyes blurring, tiredness, weakness, forgetfullness, jelly legs, tight neck, trembling, paranoia and jolting especially when trying to sleep. I wake up like it and I go to bed like it. I have been to the doctor and had countless blood tests, last one was about 8 weeks ago and was normal on everything. I convinced myself I had a brain tumor so went doctor he said anxiety, he did a test on eyes and reflexes etc. Am seeing a neurologist tomorrow but honestly feel like this will be it, he'll tell me I have a brain tumor and thats that.
I am currently having CBT sessions, first one last week, and I am trying to breathe properly and relax my body and just to be more calm but nothing is helping. I have been on Citalopram for about 6 years and occaisionally take Propanalol when needed although they tend to make me nauseas.
Sorry for rambling, but any words of comfort or positivitiy would be great.
Thank you so much!
Peace and love
