Lucky to find this place- dealing with anxiety

Mental health
1

Hi all,

Iam happy i found this place as this is the only place caused me to be less stressed reading about others who got my same specific symptoms. I deal with continues anxiety for about 2 months now which i think the main cause is my brother diagnosed with cancer. I was finally brave enough to go do some blood tests which i haven't done in years i was sure healthy( they came back clear of course). I became paranoid about my health starting to have many symptoms. Blood tests results just made good for a while...i lost weight, chest and ribs pains, weak,mucous each morning, back pains, stomach pains, muscle weakness and other...

Every google search for each of the symptoms jad somewhere the word "cancer". I would simply go mental. Yestrday i found this forum and reading almost all people with same symptoms and no real physical issue made me much better and finally this morning was much better then others. However, do you guys noticed that even when feeling good still some symptoms are there ? I got light stomach pain and that stabbing burrning pain in the right rib just under the chest which i noticed while eating its like for a second and maybe will come back after a while or it wont. Its just a crazy circle dosnt let you out.

Thank you guys ! Hope you doing well.

Hi David yes even when you don't feel overly anxious the symptoms are still there l believe even though you feel less anxious you are still scanning your body for sensations etc.Try to find ways to relax your mind through breathing techniques etc which you will find on YouTube.Do not Google your symptoms as you will just frighten yourself and Google is not a diagnostic tool.

Thank you Marleen !

Do you think its actually gas ? That the anxiety made the body store it in all kins of places around the body insted of getting rid of them as usual since there is much less stomach activity in stress ? I noticed the when i was in stress and anxiety i had very little gas exhaust... only a little in the morning.

All your problems are down to adrenaline being pumped round your body due to fear causing your body to go in to fight or flight mode.As you are not facing any danger your body is not able to get rid of the adrenaline naturally and that is why your body continues to feel all the different sensations.Try to calm down your mind and don't fixate on your symptoms.
