Hi,
In the last year I have been suffering from what I think is health anxiety.
It started last year when I started suffering from waves of overwelming tiredness, not such my body being tired but my eyes just becoming over tired.
It like i just want to close my eyes and this would happen at times during the day as early as 11am. I then started to get sore glands, I wouldn't say they where swollen. I had my symptoms for a week or so and I went to the doctors. I was told I may just have a virus. I then went back a week later as it was really effecting my work. I had blood tests but they came back fine, I had my glucose checked and blood pressure but everything fine. I then had it for around 8 more weeks and was told by the doctor its just post-viral syndrome.
During this time, I was getting really worried about having lykemia, and was forever checking my glands and would really panic if I felt overtired or if I could feel myself getting tired.
I then seemed to get better, but then I had it again 2 months later, I then had more tests but still nothing, It carried on for 2 months and after starting to excercise and relaxation cds and kept myself busy and it went and I had a good summer.
But its no back again and at around the same time as last year, I started with overwelming tiredness and then a sore throat and then sore glands.
I've now got my fears back and been to the doctors twice who think I have a viral infection.
I'm now struggling with overwelming thoughts about having something serious as the overwelming tireness scares the life out of me.
I'm also experiencing sort of dizzyness which freaks me to I stop walking and it feels like the the floor moves or almost like I feel Im walking extra steps. even when I sit down my feet sometimes feel like there moving
It effects my life I now panic everytime I feel tired, I then have uncontrollable thoughts because I'm tired and my mind runs away with me.
It has a impact on my work my relationship, I'm some times lost in my own world thinking the worse. I don't over excert myself If we go out shopping or a night out I get very nervous about feeling tired, I don't really enjoy myself all I can think about is to get things done quickly and get home.
I think I seem to run myself down, with anxiety without me realising
Does anyone else suffer the same? any tips? I got over Panic attacks around 4 years ago and beat the vicous circle but its so hard to beat my thoughts when I'm so tired I can't think rational.
