A thought is harmless unless we believe it.

🤣 sounds good
Health anxiety has a lot to answer for!
I’ve been going through it for the last 20 years!
Im sure there’s an article on here about it.

It certainly does.
My HA kicked in when I was a little un (not that I understood what it was back then - I just remember always feeling sick and worrying that I was dying) and it all culminated in a mental breakdown in 2017. (It's been a work in progress ever since)

It’s so debilitating when it rears up and unexpected!
I showed a haematology nurse at work today my blood results and she said she wouldn’t be worried.
Ill see what the GP says tomorrow but it has eased my mind a bit.

I've lost count of the times I've worked myself up into a state of hyperventilation over test results only to be given this response...
"Test results are fine, Mrs B"

What a day! Back to GP to discuss bloods, all borderline, could do with lowering my cholesterol with diet, exercise and cutting down on the wine a bit! All other results nothing to worry about but they want another FBC tomorrow. �� GP insisted I had a scan on my leg and said I’d hear about an appointment.
I get a phone call at 6.30 this evening from the gp to say I need to go to A&E straight away for a scan!
I get to A&E, I end up in the gp front door clinic to see an A&E nurse practitioner who says my calf is slightly swollen because of the bunion surgery I had 5 years ago (so it’ll always be susceptible to swelling) and the varicose vein I have on the back of that same leg. Panic over, all the worry for nearly a week for nothing!
gp extra cautious (I do get it) but when you suffer from health anxiety ��
I must carry on cycling, running, walking and wear a compression stocking when sitting for long periods such as my desk job.
I feel relieved ��*��

Great news!
It's a shame they didn't advise this at the time of your surgery, but you know now..
