I think I have a big medical phobia & I really want to sort it out! Does anyone have any info on this?
Basically any time I read anything vaguely medical-related or related to bodily functions I start to feel faint. I once read the instructions in a tampon packet & passed out! I tried to have my blood pressure taken at the doctors & ended up with pre-fainting symptoms (dizzy, dots in front of my eyes)....reading the potential side effects on things like paracetamol start to make me feel dizzy....
Thank God I am very healthy so I've never needed any treatment - I've never even had a blood test (which is lucky cos I think I'd pass out before I even got into the room).
The strange thing is that I can watch programmes like Casualty & Holby City and it doesn't bother me....
Any ideas on what I should do to get over this?!?
Thanks
