About 2 days ago I developed a bad throat. Just a normal bad throat as far as myself and everyone else was concerned. (Obviously with added worry on my part).
Yesterday it was bearable. Just the same old pain/dryness that you get. I managed to keep calm and get through the day. Although last night I was walking home from town and had a panic attack because my throat went dry and I forgot a drink, so I imagined it closing up and I had a panic attack. It calmed down a bit after a warm cup of tea and some Nurofen. (and a cuddle and reassuring words off my mum)
However didn't sleep all night last night because of worry :weep:
Went to docs just now and they said it looks red and sore. Just a normal throat infection as far as they can tell. I have no temperature. Normal body it's just a sore throat....
I also mentioned I have a lot of mucus coming up... well NOT coming up, sitting in an annoying place in my throat and trying to choke me... Doc said nothing about that..
I've just come home, and tried to hack some more mucus up for comfort purposes and I had a bit of blood in the mucus.. OMG PANIC STRICKEN!!!!
WHAT IF WHAT IF WHAT IF? :weep::weep::weep::weep::weep:
Ive blown my nose... normal mucus. NO BLOOD. Coughed again, no blood again... Anyone else had harmless blood in their mucus? IM SCARED.
Lots of love.. Katie :weep::weep::weep: xxx
(Id just like to mention that my throat is my weak point in anxiety aswell.. Always going tight when I panic, can't swallow most of the time ect) xxx
And also I have a massive phobia that ill be allergic to medicine.. So I cant take anything other than childrens Nurofen and have to suffer :( xxx
