Anxiety or something else?

A few months back I started suffering with random intrusive thoughts and panic attacks, one so bad I got took to hospital by ambulance thinking it was heart related, bloods and ecg came back fine.. but more recently I have been having all kinds of aches and pains including nipple pain and aches around where all lymph nodes are situatated, I went to the doctors for a breast check and everything came back normal and also had my shoulder and neck looked at because I'd been expirencing neck and shoulder tension and also a ache down my left arm.

I google my symptoms all the time and it always CANCER so I immediately panic more because I have a fear of dying and leaving my son behind while he is so young. I have been put on beta blockers and anti-depressants and are waiting for them to start working, I have also got a appointment with a counciler at the end of this month.

I'm just wondering if anyone else deals with this everyday because I do feel alone in this, sometimes my head hurts that much it feels like it's going to blow off! I just don't want to keep going doctors repeatedly with different symptoms, my family do think I am a drama queen. I'm just having a hard time right now and I do genuinely get scared.

Especially at night time, I don't want to fall asleep in case I don't wake up.

Hi Katie, your not on your own, I suffer with health anxiety, nearly a year now, it's a nightmare. My problem at the moment is my stomach, I have reflux and gets really bad with anxiety, it's that bad at moment I have diagnosed myself with a uncler xx

Thank you for replying!

I just feel really scared at the moment and sometimes I just need reassurance that I'm not on my own because sometimes it really feels like it!

Does yours come and go or is it president if you don't mind me asking?

And do you take medication at all?
