nausea feeling

[pulisa]

My advice would be to contact your key worker and tell him that you are really struggling with your HA. He won't know unless you tell him.

How are you filling your days? Do you have much to distract you from your health worries? Do you have any study plans for college in September?

Hoping to start some new voluntary work soon, just waiting for a start date for training, to do a bit of data entry for a local foodbank

At the moment there are no new courses which can be offered to me at college. I done my English (I don't need to do my Maths) did a level 1 earlier this year in Customer service.

I am back at the football , went on Saturday when Wednesday vs Doncaster, that was an interesting experience, loads of police. Wednesday play Fleetwood tonight

Does not help with my Nan having a heart attack a few weeks she went back into hospital yesterday as she was worried she was having another heart attack, and was checked over, and her heart sounded fine, her bloods were fine etc.

You must have been very worried about your Nan but I'm glad that she's better now although still very anxious. It must have been very traumatic for her and for you all.

Having too much free time is hard when you have HA because there's little to distract you from symptoms and sensations.

The new voluntary work sounds promising. Can you pester anyone re giving you a start date?

My Nan is in her early 80s, having a couple of nurses in the family does help.

The guy who is meant to to be doing the training with me, is on holiday at the moment . I only heard about possible voluntary work here, from where I did my last voluntary at. there is not much going off up here. I may be able to go back up to this place if things pick up, it is all depending on funding/contracts

I am just scared of every symptom I get is more likely cancer, as this is how my mind works. I know as you get older you get more aches and pains

I am at the dentist next for checkup so hopefully I get ressurance that i dont have oral cancer, or any other type of cancer dentist can spot,. I can chew better now than I did a few days ago, but will mention this to my dentist.

I also fear my symptoms could be to do with bone cancer, but I am not drenching the bed at night, with leukemia and non hodkins lymphoma/lymphoma fears with my arm/shoulder pain, and nausea

It is an endless cycle

maybe I should ask my doctor to send me for a full body scan

That would only give you temporary relief and the GP would hopefully not enable your HA by packing you off for unnecessary radiation.

It would be a bad idea if I had a full body scan as I will question the results and would want another scan. (I know I have to have MRI scans for brain because of my NF) I had a pointless spine MRI scan about 6 years ago, as my specialist wanted me to have a scan because I had a curve spine, it pretty common for people who have NF to have a curve spine

I had a few pointless scans in the past because I thought I had bowel cancer

Doctors will not (and should not) send people for scans with no valid reason. They're expensive, time consuming (meaning you are delaying things for somebody who really needs a scan) and there's such a thing as 'incidental findings' - which ramp up HA more than ever. And there is the radiation to consider..

Even if your GP agreed to this (they won't) this would only provide you with temporary reassurance which will disappear the moment a new anxiety symptom kicks in. You will convince yourself that they missed something, you got the wrong scan results, or a crap radiographer. This is how health anxiety works.

It's not a full body scan that you require. It's therapy for your health anxiety disorder.

While I agree that nausea is a common sign of anxiety, there are other (benign) explanations as well. I had health anxiety for several years and never had nausea, but one day I got it, and it lasted for a week, but it was weird because I didn't eat anything bad nor was I stressed. Then a few months later, another week long bout of nausea came. That's when I, just like you, started worrying about cancer. I thought that it's either brain cancer or GI cancer, but with brain cancer, the nausea would probably be caused due to high intracranial pressure and I didn't have headaches, so I started with endoscopies. Colonoscopy came out fine, but upper GI showed acid reflux disease and gastritis. I started taking proton pump inhibitors and it never happened again.

I have not thrown up since 2019, I thought I was going to throw up last Thursday, as I was struggling to chew on some food (a piece of meat) I hope I don't have a dental abscess or have chipped a tooth (or start of gum disease) I do go to the dentist regularly for cleanings and checkups. I don't smoke or drink booze,

Than again I think this could be stomach cancer why I am feeling nausea, even though I am not getting abdominal pains,

I am not getting headaches.

I don't think I have lost weight

I have not been to A&E yet
