I'm in full blown panic mode right now. Lemme give a summary of what the last 5months has been like:
Major anxiety attack December 28th last yr, since then I've had ALL the major symptoms everyone else has. The dizziness, lump in throat, weakness, nausea etc. Then the symptoms started changing and I got new ones.
I'm a serious Hypochondriac and I have Depression and GAD plus I'm always nervous. I Google alot and so unfortunately I know the symtoms of most fatal illness. Now I'm terrified I have leukemia! I read that joint pain and red spots on the skin are main signs. I've had aches&pains for like 3months now along with head rushes, neck tension. My elbows n arms always hurt as well as my left leg. All of a sudden I look on my skin and a lot more red spots have popped up! First I had like 5tiny ones on my arm and now bigger ones are popping up on my leg. Also I worry CONSTANTLY and I've been itching alot on&off.
Before u ask I've only been to the doctor when I had the anxietyattack. Was diagnosed with GAD and did urine test, EKG. No blood tests or MRS were done and now I'm TERRIFIED to go do a blood test. I feel certain they will tell me I'm dying!!
I notice most people here only post about dizziness,numbness etc. Now I feel I'm the only one with constant aches&pain and horrible elbow pain. I'm so scared everytime I look at the red spots my heart bangs against my chest and I'm sweating&itching even more.
2months ago I donated blood, the accepted my donation. I even contacted them 2days ago n asked for info I didn't need. Just to send them digging for my record and hopefully tell me if they missed anything the last time. I feel I'm going crazy! Omg I'm terrified!!!

I've been where you are so many times. It's really scary. Today I've had terrible panic all day. I spent many years as a hypochondriac.
This will pass but I know it's tough. Hang in there.

I'm gonna have to go to a doctor sometime this week but I'm TERRIFIED of a blood test.
Just now I curled up in bed and had a good cry. I'm so embarrassed I can't even tell anybody. How do I just call up pple and say I'm having arm pain n there are red bumps on my skin so I know I'm dying?!

My brain is hell bent on convincing me I'm dying but another part of me knows it's Anxiety. I itch, get head rushes, popping stuffy feeling in my ears and my muscles twitch&jump randomly.
Hopefully I will get reassurance from the docs. The blood bank accepted my blood donation and told me I can donate again soon. Surely they tested my blood before giving it to people.
