So I've had serious anxiety issues for 15 years now, I've also had ongoing hem/fissure issues for about 20 with regular blood in BM's. I've had it checked out numerous times, always told it was hems/fissures but recently I had some bloods done to check my thyroid and they came back as low in iron. My doctor said this needed checking out and got me to do an FIT test to check for unseen blood in my BM in case I'm bleeding internally. That was two weeks ago and I haven't had a decent day since. My anxiety went straight through the roof, I wake up in the morning and the adrenaline kicks straight in and I end up aching with tension from top to toe, unable to concentrate on anything, hating my work and just dreading whatever the future might bring. I've also got a sore, burning tongue which can be a symptom of anaemia and iron deficiency, so now I've convinced myself that the doctors missed something with my past bleeding and I've now got a stage 4 or something just waiting to finish me off. I've got a weeks holiday booked from next Saturday but I won't be able to enjoy that now.
Anyone got any experience in this area?
