Hi, I’m new to this and a self diagnosed hypochondriac! I’m freaking out this evening as I have a bad earache and headache and I’m tired and now thanks to google all I think is I have meningitis! What should I do
Please calm down, I am feeling like that all week…its the flu I have…you probably have it too, if you google your symptoms, you will end up thinking you only have a week to live…try not to google…x
no sign of any kind of flu! could this all be anxiety related? just started with earache then as i googled i felt a headache come on too! now i feel lots of symptoms. I keep almost drifting off to sleep which is a sign of meningitis but it is midnight so maybe im just exhausted. i hate health anxiety!
yes health anxiety is awful…I have it too, just try to think rationally. if you had meningitis, you would feel a lot worse, and have a fever too…you are just tired, and your health anxiety is blowing all these symptoms out of porportion…just think, I have an earache,and a headache…take a painkiller and go to bed, try not to dwell on it…A little tip massage right between your eyebrows…it eases any headache…
You believe you haven’t got meningitis that’s what. If you listen to Dr Google you will go from a mild headache to dead in 3 clicks. x
Sounds like sinus congestion or the start of the flu bug. Many people are sick.
If it persist go to the ER
have you ever got your MRI done? after extreme anxiety for a year, i got it done and it shows lesions .. doctor says autoimmune encephalopathy and put me on steroids. i want to die and thinking why he ruled out meningitis . i could have it . but couldnt discuss with him
Hi
It’s your choice, but i would go for a second opinion.
