Thinking back, I've had some anxiety for a while, I used to think I had appendicitis after knowing that 2 friends had it, so then every stomach Pain was instantly appendix related. Now, I am convinced I have a brain tumour. I've been to the doctors and had an eye test which they have said there isn't any pressure, but I'm suffering from headaches, weakness in my left side, tingling and sometimes pins and needles, bowel problems, bad ear ringing and pressure in my ears and face, dizzyness, shoulder and neck pain, nausea and a general feeling of wanting to cry all the time. The weakness scares me the most as I feel there is something seriously wrong. I've had 2 trips to the emergency care unit where they checked me and everything was normal, a blood test, and I've been given proponalol. Is this really related to anxiety? I'm 16 and just started college, I do not need this
Hi Hun! I am 17 years old and I am basically your twin here! I suffer the exact same as you! And I constantly think about brain tumours and stuff like that and the wanting to cry all the time to! It's all down to anxiety I can promise you that hunny xx
Do you feel heaviness in stomach?
Not that I've noticed I don't think so
It's great to know I'm not alone, I just don't know what to do anymore,I've asked doctors for scans but they've refused which kind of leaves me in the unknown. Every moment of the day I think about it, and now I have a habit of googling literally every symptom which I know is bad as I've scared myself so much
That's exactly how I was the very start of my anxiety, I asked for MRI too and they told me I don't need it cus my bloods came back clear😊
Yeah same, I just wanted my mind to be put at rest because right now it's going crazy. First I thought I was having a stroke then it was heart attacks, then it was bowel cancer, and now it's a brain tumour. The problems is no one actually understands how I feel inside, they just think I'm being stupid, I just want my old life back, where I actually felt healthy
heya emily.yea all things u r experiencing is about anxiety.u r always worry about different cancers...n u r worry oh yea there is sth wrong with my body...n gonna die these days.
Yes the systoms your naming is, all anxiety.
Is it normal to experience the symptoms all the time? Even if I don't feel anxious? That is what scares me the most
If you are feeling some symptoms that means you do check up for that if you find normal test report than you should live normal life. I tell u I always feel left chest pain and because of that I feel anxious. I control my mind and make it understand that it is my mind who creating thoughts nothing else.
I am exactly the same as you! I'm glad I've found someone who knows what it feels like, I'm 16 too and since I was about 10 I've been suffering with hypochondria but not as bad as now. I've been having symptoms similar to you and whenever I go to the doctors they never refer me for more tests or anything as I think they know it's all in my head which I'm sure it is for you too. If I were you, go and see a councellor, ive been seeing one for about 4 months and trust me, it really helps! x
If you got yourself check, and came back good, nothing to worry about. If you feel something serious go get check so you feel better.
I'm going to the doctors soon, and I have to have more bloods done soon too
