Constantly worrying about my health

[scfan]

Hello guys. I'm new to the forum and I'm so glad I found this site.

Let me describe my situation as briefly as I can.

6 months ago I had a scare that I had been infected with HIV. I know now that I did not contract HIV, but the stress placed on me in these months has manifested itself in several ways..

- I have high blood pressure and am on BP medication
- I have been placed on anti-depressants
- I now worry constantly about my health. Every little bump, bruise, ache, and pain convinces me that I have some deadly incurable disease
- I feel light-headed and dizzy at times during the day
- My arms, legs, etc twitch often, typically when I am relaxing on the bed or couch
- My arms, especially my left one, feel weak
- Mornings are typically tougher on me than evenings, but I have my bad moments throughout the day, too.

Anyway, the point of my post is this; I just wanted to get some input or advice from you guys on my situation. I am in a constant state of fear and anxiety, and I'm beginning to think that I will never get better.

Anyone with ideas/advice/input?
Thanks everyone

I often have all of those symptoms you are describing and constantly worry about my health, turning every small thing into something major.

Slowly i am getting better and things will for you to.

This site has been a godsend for me
