I just posted a thread in the Welcoming forums, do I do another one? Lol
Ever since last September/October, I have been on a, anxiety roller coster. I have health anxiety. And I ALWAYS think I have some form of terminal illness. . . Maybe I do? Who knows. Maybe I have something they just haven't found yet. Everytime I go to the Doctors office, they always hint at me that everything I feel is anxiety related. However, the only thing that has them scratching their heads, is the fact that I have High blood pressure. I have NO IDEA why I have High blood pressure. I'm not overweight, I'm not unhealthy, I work out a pretty good amount, I don't know why I keep having this problem!!!
Anyway, back to my anxiety,
I've experienced just about every symptom you can think of. And I always make the "smart" decision in Googling my symptoms, and Google, the jerk, always finds a way to Tell me I'm dying.(:
How wonderful is that, right?
Oh and I always self diagnose myself, Which is stupid because I'm NOT a doctor!
I've told myself I have skin cancer, then it was stomach cancer (I was almost positive I had that), then it was thyroid cancer, them kidney disease, then a brain tumor. (I still kinda feel like maybe I might have that, I don't know I just feel like I do. I get dizzy sometimes and it just has me convinced.)
Though I read something today, someone was talking about how they go through symptom shifting. And I could not believe what I reading because it was literally the same way for me!
Its like, certain symptoms go away, then others come after than, and so on. The ones I had before, I don't really have, I just get new ones. For example, I used to have a severely burning stomach followed by nausea. Then I got indigestion along with excessive gas and burping. (That was kinda gross, sorry. Lol) Then I got really bad dizzy spells, along with headaches. Now I don't feel dizzy as much, (just a little sometimes) but lately, I've been having these strong heart palpations as well as a trembling body! I have no idea why all of this is happening, but I really want it to stop.
I've had, xrays done, blood work, EKG. They found NOTHING.
They only thing they question is my high blood pressure.
I've never fainted, never vomited, never had difficulty swallowing (which major symptoms of major diseases)
I'm just so confused to be honest.
