So anxious about blood results

Posted , 2 users are following.

Having had health anxiety all my life so i know im over thinking, i have always had stomach issues but the last 5 weeks inhave had on and off upper abdo bloating with bit of pain and burping more often with nausea. these came off the back of my children being ill and justvliving with health anxiety everyday. Doctors have given me lameprozole and been taking them for 3 weeks, pain has improved, still bloated and have odd sensations in ribs, i have had blood testvtoday as not had any for four years and she has said possibly gallstones although not typical presentation. i am convinced its cancer in my stomach or liver, i have a addiction to googling symptoms and i am dreading the few days inhabe of waiting for results and imagine them knocking on my door with bad news and carting me off to hospital. I should mention my mum died at the same age as i am now. this when i was 16 if i live until the 9th july inhave lived longer than her. My school freind also does of liver cancer on saturday after a year of fighting. i cant hardly breath from worry.
