Health anxiety all time low

So 18 months ago I was a perfectly sane woman, today i got sent home from work after bursting in to tears ☹

My health anxiety is off the chart to the point where I'm so convinced I'm going to die I have written letters to everyone and a list of instructions for my husband on how to look after our son. Surely this isn't normal.

A new pain in my breast has triggered this episode and I've poked it so much I've bruised it which just makes it hurt more.

I also have a pain in my shoulder that wont go away and the top of my arm constantly feels like its been punched.

On top of all that i seem to constantly have blood when i wipe but no period ever comes

surely this cant just be my life now

any help or advice would be much appreciated

    Hi Sarah i am exactly the same my health anxiety is off the scale.

    These hormones are a nightmare! I have a UTI at the moment with associated pelvic pain. Also my cycle is all over the place since i turned 47. Trying not to google symptoms! My latest one is Ovarian ca . Just to let you know you are not alone and for sure its these pesky hormones doing it to us!

    So my appointment with the Dr today did not answer any of my questions: She is sending me for a barrage of blood tests including a CA125 and a pelvic ultrasound as I have had an incidence of bleeding when i wipe (have a mirena coil) My anxiety is now in overdrive.

    Is this normal ? Do I just have an over cautious Doctor ?

    I just want to get into bed and never get up
