Hi everyone,
Just wondering if anyone else has ever had this.
(I've suffered Health Anxiety on and off for the past 15 years (I'm 39) - was triggered when my father died then my mother died 6 years later - I've been in some awful states with it all in the past - but pretty much have learned to deal with and understand the symptoms - but this that I'm experiencing is brand new - I've never had anything like it before).
(I take 50 mg Sertraline - only been on them for 2 weeks - so I'm also aware that this could be side effects of the meds...).
I have a horrible pain / feeling that seems to move around my whole left side - from my back (ribs) to my stomach, to my lower back to my groin area, it feels like I have a massive lump in my left side that's causing all this pain. Also my ribs are very tender to touch.
I also keep breaking out in sweats and having bad headaches.
My anxiety is going way out of control with it all - sitting here crying my eyes out this morning - wondering if I'm gonna see Christmas with my hubby and kids - or if this will be my last christmas.:lac:.
Was at the dr last week - she did a urine test, incase it was a kidney infection - but that came back clear. She had a wee feel about my tummy but couldn't feel anything untoward.
She's put it down to anxiety - and has suggested that I need to get some counselling.
I'm also stuck in a very bad rutt of having a few wines at night before bed time - as it's the only peace of mind that I can get - and it eases the symptoms.
Thanks for reading.
