Health Anxiety

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi,

ive been battling health anxiety for over 2 years now it was bad after i had my second child, it seemed to calm down a bit but now after my 3rd child I think it has come back.

im saying I think because this symptoms are a bit different before and I always think there's something sinister going on, i try to tell my self i have had FBC just november past sure if there was something wrong they would have seen in the blood test.

so has anybody experienced sudden tingling from head to toe along with dizziness (I've had that once) that want away within a couple of minutes followed by a sweat and then random cold patches on ur body.

I have had a few panic attacks after this head to toe numbness incident.

The random cold patches I still get, also headache usually one sided left or right, dizzy spells, constant pain inbetween shoulders and neck sometimes like a burning sensation, pain down middle of chest don't know if it's my sternum or a nerve its hard to place exact spot. pain in arms and legs but at different times. random numb or tingly patches on arms.

I think I have diagnosed my self of nearly every cancer there is, as I alway google stuff and it comes up, I have just googled the spine pain between my shoulders and now its went to myeloma I now feel sick at the thought and thinking I have it as the symptoms they say I have a good few.

if anyone has had any of this symptoms i would greatly appreciate a reply known im not alone in this.

    Exact same symptoms. exact same outcome. Never anything! one day a tumour next week it'll be a nerve illness, week after it'll be heart problems. it's really really hard to be dying of every illness all the time isn't it lol! we can only stand and laugh about it because sometimes us anxious folk are very silly when we look at it from a different perspective!
