I find all of you guys so great so I'd like to share my fears and maybe one of you can help or reassure me
basically July last year I got really poorly, I've been bulimic for 8 years and suddenly i started feeling very dizzy and out of breath and ended up having anemia I was on iron tablets then. I stoppes vomiting, went fpr a check up blood test and my anemia was gone. The past 6 months I feel like I'm going crazy.. i have relly weird physical symptoms and all Ican think about is my heart up to now in 6 months I thought I was having a heart attack coming, stroke, MS, fybromyalgia, b12 deficiency. I have muscle aches, palpiations (from time to time) nausea, chest pain, i suffer from acis reflux , headaches, tingling, brain fog, hot flashes, diarrhoea/constopation. I cant take heart worries off my mind. In 6months I ended up in a&e 8times and countless visits to a doctoe Ive had ecg everytime i went to a&e and it was clear. My doc diagnoses me with acid reflux but the smallest thinf makea me think i have a heart disease. Im aware fhat this is all in my head and its anxiety but all the physical symptoms are making my life hell. Ive got a little girl and i cant enjoy her fully.
hi carolina i was like that last year but im going great at the moment i ve change my tablet i was on sertaline but im on mirtazpine in the evening to calm me down
This is like reading about myself! I cant say anything to help as i am struggling exactly the same, iv demanded a heart scan which i have on Friday and various blood tests i had today, im on two lots of medication im hoping it helps, i have recently referred myself to the mental health team as i know i now need help with it im on olazapine and progablin xx
you need to stop thinking about possible illnesses you might have and try to look after your daughter and make her the priority. I know you will find that hard but a lot of this is in your head and you need to try not and imagine the worst case scenario of illnesses that you may or may not have.
Yes I know i also have a 12 weeks old baby boy too, love them to bits and try my hardest but its not as easy to just stop thinking i can sit there all day and think im okay but it doesnt help one bit as the anxiety is now stronger than i am x
I'm a 21 year old lad, had acute chest pain on my left side start whilst on holiday and had it ever since. That was August 2015. Every single symptom uve said I have... I'm on acid reflux tablets aswell... Hope you get through it, it sounds scarily similar to me ...
