Hi all..

I have had horrendous (I think the worst) nausea, dizziness, feeling weak and overall just feeling removed from my body. I have pretty much been bed ridden the entire week (and battling with nausea for about 3 weeks now which has progressively got worse) and just feel beyond awful. My skin is also very pale and I feel like the life has been drained out of me, along with my digestive system not working properly.

I have zero appetite and haven't been able to eat much other than a few crackers with marmite, water and juice. I have also taken immune boosters and rehydrates and there's absolutely no improvement in my overall wellbeing. Even after having a nutritional meal a few days ago left me feeling unwell.

I am deeply concerned there is something seriously wrong with me internally.

Due to Covid, my GP could only fit in a phone call appointment for me and can only get me blood tests in a weeks time. She asked about my symptoms and said I need all the tests done to check its not an underlying issue, and if everything comes back negative its my anxiety. Waiting a week for my results seems to just be making me feel 100 times worse as I'm so worried. I tried the walk in centre but was turned away and at this point I can't even stomach the thought of leaving my bed to sit in a queue to get a check up at A&E or the walk in.

I have suffered from a few panic attacks when leaving the house and am also Emetephobic which makes matters worse when I feel nauseous.

Has anyone else battled with this? I just feel so awful and I can't accept that this is only anxiety related as I feel like something is seriously wrong. If it is anxiety, have any of you dealt with this and got through it? I'm so sick of feeling sick.

    i’ve had anxiety for over 30 years and I can tell you that it can absolutely cause all sorts of symptoms! Weakness, nausea, dizziness, aches and pains, and on and on. I also just recently had to wait a week to see the doctor and get some lab work. I was terrified to get the results. my symptoms went on for several weeks of lethargy, weak feeling, weird blisters inside my lip, etc.

    my daughter had to help me calm down because I thought there was something terribly wrong .

    horrible thoughts were going through my head of what it could be and always the worst case scenario thoughts.

    So anyway everything came back normal. it must’ve been some weird virus I contracted but I also tested negative for Covid.

    hang in there. You will most likely get some results and it’ll be a huge burden off of you! Then you can start working on anxiety management. Take care of yourself ❤❤❤
