I was given Petril Beta by my psychiatrist which he asked me to discontinue once my symptoms were fine (It all started with abdominal strain that I misunderstood as hernia, then every other muscle strains that I got, I thought I had cancer) but the doctors have asked me to exercise and telling me it's nothing serious. So I discontinued the tablet but for the past few days, I have neck stiffness, throat tightness and I'm worried that it's serious again. Can anyone help? Thanks.
Let me start by welcoming you to health anxiety! In this club you will find constant nervousness, irrational fears about your health, physical symptoms that will have you fearing you're dying but you're actually fine, and doctors bills up the butt from you constantly going and asking if something is wrong and not believing them when they say you're fine! LOL
I couldn't help myself ^^ But in all seriousness lol, I have experienced tight throat, lump in throat, painful muscle tension in my neck/head constantly from anxiety. If your doctor says you are fine then you are - it's just your worries and negative thoughts causing the symptoms. When you're nervous/anxious, you may not even realize it, but your body tenses up. This is why muscles start hurting, you feel pains in places, etc.
I have health anxiety from 2 years i take pexep 12.5 and zolax .5 it helps me
