Really need some help, feeling physically and emotionally at breaking point!
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi all, i'm new to this group but i really need to speak to other's who are possibly experiencing the same life crippiling symtoms as me.
I'm sure my doc's think i'm a hypochondriac, my patient history goes on for years and every conclusion is anxiety, i end up feeling really stupid with no help from them until the next set of symptoms....
I have just had another worrying episode in my life which has triggered new symptoms which i have now convinced myself is terminal, my parner dosen't understand and i feel i have knowone to turn to.
My body is very good at constant anxiety ie; brain fog, blurred vision, lightheaded, ibs, gord/gerd symptoms..i can belch for england, shacking, heart palpatations..most of the time it feels like my heart is going to pack up from exhaustion from working overtime!
Sorry for rattling on but my question is....
Is there anyone out there with these following recent symptoms iv'e been getting over the last week.....
Aching/dull pains across my upper chest above my breast bone which can go across my shoulders and down my arms, a constant aching heavy feeling in my neck/chest back of my throat accompanied by excessive belching, heartburn. The pain can go to my back and i can have wheezing, an occasional cough but not noticable, i am also aching all over like i have the flu constantly with zero energy, motivation. I have now covinced myself it's serious and i'm on my last legs from trauling the internet for symptoms.
Would be so relieved to hear from anyone else that's going through this as i have another doc's appointment for next week and i'm dreading seeing the 'hear we go again face'.
Many thanks for listening
Amanda xx

It can be a very lonely disorder when knowone around you understands and you think your the only one, makes you want to shut the door on the world and cry.
If you'd like to chat i'm always here xx

It's not just you at all, there are many of us who are just as frustrated. I have also found the internet can be a very depressing tool when it comes to self-diagnosis, I have had more dodgy diagnosis outcomes from that than enough, and it frequently tells my other half to ring for an ambulance because he's having a heart attack - it's just muscle pain from doing too much!
I don't know if it's just my cynical nature, but I have just been amused. I took their patient q health check, you know just to depress myself, and came out at 27/100. Once of the things it days I should do is reduce my stress. Okay so I have health issues, and a chronically ill mother in law, and am dealing with her stressed and depressed son, no way of reducing that unless I did her in (tempting). I have a house I can't manage, but have not had chance to do anything with it between working and sorting the MIL. I have been doing a stressful job but I got laid off on Friday, I had to laugh, cos that will reduce my stress levels a bit... And I suppose I can get some stuff done around the house now.
I figure you just gotta keep on laughing, even if it is just at the black comedy of life. Hope this helps a bit, if nothing else it helps to vent
