I mentioned i am getting acid reflux all the way to voicebox again and ive had 3 colds lately more or less on top of each other. She says ive probably had a double whammy of reflux and a viral infection.
I mentioned my shoulder and then broke down in tears telling her i have lung cancer. She said for a start lung cancer in my age group is very rare, secondly i need extensive help with my health anxiety. I have been given relux meds and citralopam again, she has booked an appointment for me in 4 weeks to see how i have been getting on with the tablets and the cough. She was such a nice doctor too
So there you go. Going to try calm down and get these anti depressants down me and make a start on things, i have to help myself overcome this anxiety.
I guess also logging on here reading about lumps and bumps and breathing and. Owel issues doesnt help me. I might need to take a break from it all, its only a downward spiral if i dont action this problem i have and fearing life!
I am so so pleased for you Kay
I have been thinking about you and really glad you made that visit to your GP because you desperately needed some professional reassurance.
You're right you know, constantly reading posts about others symptoms does fuel the fire with anxiety. It's such a vicious circle. You know, when I was admin on here, I used to crack up at people who said being here was making their anxiety worse. I hold my hands up now and admit I was wrong. Yes it's an amazing site (genius in fact) but if you suffer from bad HA then perhaps either limit what you read, if anything at all.
I've had a few years break now and although I will never be without anxiety, I do feel miles better.
Kudos to you Kay and good luck with the meds. I'm on Ranitidine for reflux and it works wonders. I hope you can have some peace now.
