Hi, I am new to this site and so glad to have found it: it is such a comfort already.

I think I am going nuts. I had a baby 6 months ago and when he was 3 months old I developed SEVERE health anxiety from nowhere. It came on completely suddenly: one day I woke with a racing heart, bowel problems, neck pain and boom! I've never been the same since. I've been to the doctor several times with different health fears because I have so many scary PHYSICAL symptoms, and she says I have post-natal depression.... but I am not exactly sad..... at least I wouldn't be if I didn't think I was dying all the time!

My main fear:

That I have cancer anywhere in my body.

My symptoms:
*Headache (brain tumour?)
*Dizziness (brain tumour?)
*Blurred vision (ditto)
*Earache (throat cancer?)
*Problems swallowing (throat cancer)
*weird pressure/need to belch sensation in upper stomach (stomach cancer?)
*Nausea (stomach cancer?)
*Chest pain, pain down my arm (breast cancer?)
*IBS(Bowel cancer)

ARRRGGHH! It's so EXHAUSTING!!! And once I used to be sane! I worry I'll never be the same again, that I am going mad..........

Has anyone else had a similar experience?????
