Recently we all heard of a boy in my community suddenly died from suspected meningitis or a possible brain hemorrhage. (He was in glasgow at the time, we are in shetland)
Yesterday, i woke up with a sore throat and nothing else, so i took some pills and tried to move on with my anxiety filled day. I had a few spells of dry mouth but no rash or headache or neckache. I did feel quite nauseous towards the end of the evening though.
Today i woke up, sore throat blocked nose and a hint of a sore head/ sore neck. Im planning on going to the doctors today, but im just terrified they'll turn me away!
I dont know if its my anxiety or if i actually have men, ive been vaccinated against viral but not bacterial.
Try and calm down,you dont even live in the same comunity,you dont know the exact caus of the poor persons death. Your chances of having menengitis im guessing is close to none. Xx
I have some health anxiety too, and i know it can really consume your life if you let it. STOP googling symptoms! Never, EVER do it! I'm serious, you'll convince yourself that you are dying with every new symptom. And your symptoms are SSSUUUUUPPPPEEEEERRRRRR common and normal!!! Those are nothing to worry about. In fact, your brain could be making these symptoms bc you fear Meningitis so much. (Trust me, our brains can and DO do that!) You HAVE to learn to ignore new symptoms. Use discretion about when to go to the doctor. Your symptoms are things everybody gets all the time, lol. I suggest you see a therapist for your (seamingly) severe health anxiety. Best of luck to you! Don't let anxiety take your life!
