Convinced I'm dying of cancer. I just don't feel right.

Does anyone get tingly on hands and feet along with all the other anxiety symptoms? I went to the emergency room because I thought I was literally dyeing. They checked everything and said its just anxiety. They gave me medicine at the hospital and the tingly and numbness and sharp pain in my heart went away. But why wont these attacks just go away? I want to be me again. The meds is the only thing that makes me feel normal now. :'(

This is exactly how my anxiety started it's really hard to put it to the back of your mind and put feeling that way down to anxiety when you convince yourself that you have some sort of illness you just have to tell yourself each time you have a pain or a twinge or whatever your symptoms are that it's fine it's my anxiety and keep yourself busy eat well drink lots of water learn to relax an try not to google symptoms and I know it's easier said than done belive me I still struggle but I found looking up symptoms gave me some new ones I was reading about

Hi Rihanna

Well after reading your post I'm somewhat releaved But still scared .

I have been to my local GP and explained that I wasn't feeling to good he carried out the normal checks and a physical examination and said everything is in good order .

My symptoms are somewhat identical to what you've described I'm really worried on how to control the anxiety as I don't really wanna take any medication .

It's been going on for 4weeks now and it seems to be getting worse .

Would you suggest going back to see The doctor or alternatively is there a specialist but you can see to get diagnosed ?

Any information would be greatly appreciated

Cheers .

Hi Rihanna its been months since we last spoke I just wondered how your doing now? If I am honest I am still in the same place suffering daily feeling unwell all the time x

This is basically the exact same as me!!!

I have constant stomach pain, bloating, gas, tingling sensation, headaches and chest pains and all I can think of is that I've got stomach cancer and I can't get it out of my head!!

My doc keeps telling me it's anxiety.... after blood tests all fine and ct of abdomen all fine.

Feel so lost and like I can't cope anymore

I really understand how you feel

Hi rhianna45855

I have been having thoughts of being terminally ill for years you name it I have had it . It has made me a wreck at times as I feel imbassesed to talk about it with anybody even my wife as when I tried I was told I was stupid to think like that . I have been to the doctors lots of times and they have never found anything wrong with me . I must say reading all of your replies to this subject has eased my sense of fear a little . I am currently convinced I have a brain tumour as I have constant head aches although I have just found out I need glasses and the other symptoms are of stress headaches I can not get the though out of my head. It's horrible and has cursed my live for years I hate it but con not seem to find a way out of it . Even writing this has made me feel a little better knowing I am not on my own with this . 

Hi rhianna, you have described exactly what I'm currently experiencing right now, with the exception of tingles and shooting pain in my head. I have history of cancer in my family, so yeah it's always on the back of my mind, but on the plus side of that my grandparents lived well into their 80's. It's a little hard to explain, but I have a queezy feeling in my stomach, a dull aching pain on my left side under the ribs, my solar plexus is sore, lightheaded, slight headache, dry sore throat and no energy at all. And this isn't the first time either, sometimes with the same feelings, sometimes not, but either case I feel...not right. I went to my doc about three years ago, and he did the same checks you recieved, and gave me a prescription for anxiety and depression. Sometimes in my case, these feelings are brought on by something that I do physically, I dont work out, and the exercise I do get is walking all over at my work, shoveling snow, mowing etc. so the last couple of times this has happened, I was able to retrace my steps, I remembered that a few days ago I lifted a heavy garbage can into a larger dumpster, using my back and upper body, chest and arms (lifting incorrectly) so this brought on my pain in the side and back and im guessing my solar plexus area, but even knowing this, I still immediatley attributed it to having some sort of cancer, then the panic creeps in, then all of the other feelings start to happen, it really messes with my head and has, in the past, lasted for a couple weeks. I'm sorry this is happening to you, all I can say is stay positive, stay active, surround yourself with friends, (that love and care about you.) if you allow yourself to be alone all the time, you will dwell on these feelings and just make it worse. I know because that's what I do. We'll get through it.  

OMG....Reading all of your post has me sitting here like i'm not the only one. I've currently been abroad for about 4 months. First time ever being abroad and i'm here alone by myself. A couple months back I had really bad stomach ache which I found myself on the stool having diarhea sweating cramps and so on. I mean it's happened to me before in my past so I didnt really think nothing of it until I start noticing and feeling like my stomach did not recover. I went into a doctor's office and he prescribed me some

Medicine but It didn't work. My stomach just makes a ton of noises and I be having gas alot. So I went in and got a blood test and Urine test. Had some things high some things low but the doc said it was nothing tomworry about. The urine test happened to be fine but he did notice a higher than usual number of WBc in my urine but he said if I didnt have any bladder pain I was fine. Well the first thing I did was go to google and looked up what this could mean and man o man I seen so. Many things and I start self diagnosing myself. I've never been diagnosed with anxiety or depression and to be honest I didn't really beleive it was an actual disorder than people go through. No offense. But now im starting ti question if I have anxiety or depression or both. I mean since coming abroad the last month and a half has just felt off and i worry so much and google things and that does not help any more. Like many of you guys I think every ache pain lump has to besomething. It is really taking a toll on my everyday life my eating habits, social

Life, ai even feel as if its affecting the way I breathe. Like I be so worried it could be something serious and I start freaking out and panicing. But then I think can the Mind really make you feel Ill??? Thats what I don't know. Just from a standard blood and a couple urine test plus a couple checkups the doctors have said I was ok. But I don't feel ok. I'm no where near a doctor and know nothing about what they do but i just feel weird and I have to diagnosed myself with every cancer there is and its honestly making turn crazy. I think im having symptoms of everything there is. I dont wanna do anythjng but lay in bed and think about this allday everyday. I do play pro sprts and i feel like this has thrown me off completely of my game. I've even felt as if i were having panic attacks during a game. Like im just so scared to see a doctor and take all type of test. I feel like im going crazy just thinking about it day jn day out. It has me in a depressed mood daily. Everybidy tells me it's nothing and that if i was truly Ill I wouldnt even be able to participate in sporting activities but my mind is telling me something different. I just wanna feel normal and get out of this slump or whatever ot may be. I had to reply to this post tho

Because Insee so many people talking about and experiencing what I have been experiecing this last month and a half.
