Hi All.
I have just found this place and would appreciate some feedback.
I went to the Drs a couple of weeks ago with a variety of symptoms:
1. Pain in my chest
2. Pins and needs in my feet and hands
3. Fatigue
4. Dizziness
5. Headaches
6. Not being able to pop my ears
The Dr had a look at my ears and said that the right one was full of wax and that may be causing the dizziness and to go back at get the syringed (which I am doing next week)
She put the other symptoms down to a virus. I feel constantly spaced out from the tiredness and it is really begining to get me down and hamper my productivity.
I had an MRI scan 7 months ago after having constant headaches and feeling spaced out and everything came back normal. The onset of the diziness and the pins and needles has worried me and has led me (thanks to Google) to jump to unreasonable conclusions (i.e. Brain tumour)
In other areas of my life I am such a rational person but my health has always caused me anxiety. I get mad with myself because I know I am doing it but can't stop myself, and like many people on here, trawl internet sites looking for first case scenarios?
My questions are these:
Given my symptoms what would you do?
How do you cope with health anxiety? No matter what I try I revert back to my old habits.
Thanks for your help!
