its me again. im having a really nad time at the moment to the point that i dont know how much longer i can go on. i have lost all control and can no longer recognise what is real and what is anxiety. ive diagnosed myself with so many different illnesses over the last few months and as soon as i et reassurance for one thing i get a whole new set of symptoms which start the vicious cycle of googling and self diagnosing again. my latest one is localised headache like shooting pain but not pain that makes me stop what im doing - just annoying, and a tingly numb feeling in temple and cheek. i also feel nauseous and have lightheadedness, because of this im now convinced i have a brain aneurysm or tumour and its causing me so much distress. has anybody who has got health anxiety got this. ive just been diagnosed with severe health anxiety (benchmark was 15 and i scored 51 on the test) as well as ptsd. could this be another set of anxiety symproms or something seeious this time and how on earth do you tell the difference. please any advice or help is needed as currently sat in bed drivng myself mad and on verge of a full panic
i think its the weather. ive had a headache for a couple days now.
just on the one side.
hi im the same one symptom comes then another .I HAVE all the symptoms you describe time and time again over many years its anxiety .I FEEL SO SORRY for all of us suffering this horrendous thing .TAKE CARE X
i am going through the same thing right now. Beginning of the week, a few horrible headaches and then dizziness that was so bad yesterday, i ended up in the Er in total panic. Because i have anxiety, they didnt take me seriously and barely did any tests. gave me Ativan that just knocked me out,still dizzy when i left and foggy eyes. im in the same boat today. Youre right in saying “how do you know whats what?” confused. Just weird its week of thanksgiving too. it just feels do real and my eyes and dizziness i cant believe is from anxiety. Hang in there, youre not alone.
