Hi everyone, I'm in my late teens and just joined this forum.
I've always been very anxious, and even more so now, because I think I may have a thyroid disorder, which not only can cause anxiety as a symptom, but is causing me anxiety just because I think I have it! I plan on having the blood test for hyperthyroidism. If it is, it could be caused by different things, most commonly, graves disease. However, ovarian you-know-what is an extremely rare cause, which I am worried about, because before I even found this out, I was worried about it because when I was having bowel problems and irregular periods, I read of similar symptoms for it. Because I've had this in my mind, and been worried it, after I had this idea in my head, thats when I noticed occasional pelvic shooting pains and groin/rectal pain. However, I am only very young, and autoimmune thyroid disease runs in the family.
I have read though anxiety itself (which I definitely have been experiencing) can cause pain, within the pelvic region and practically anywhere? is this true? and has anyone here ever experienced something similar, like anxiety causing you physical pain? It seems to be worst when I think about it or get anxious over it. its only very occasional, but sometimes I do just have it, even when I'm not directly thinking about it, which does worry me. Thank you for reading and for any answers :)
