Hi I'm new here and have been reading some similar stories and feelings that I'm having.
I've always as far back as I can remember ive been an anxious person. I over think and worry about everything,the last few years I would say it's mainly been health anxiety. I go though bouts of it and then feel okay for a while. Since having children it has been far worse, I think though fear of leaving them. The lastest health concern I have is lung cancer. About a month ago I was bringing up tiny specs of blood in my phlegm about once a day for a few weeks I was also suffering from a chest infection I went to the doctors and was given antibiotics ,this did clear it up but did not make then panic go away. The last few days I've been having upper back ache so this has just been me 100 times worse with this anxiety. I am 12 weeks pregnant and also have 3 other children so I know the likey hood is it a just strain from all the changes going on but logic doesn't work when you have health anixety. I just want to feel normal and not like I'm wasting my life away worrying about dying ! I'm worried if I go to the doctors and explain about the anxiety they won't take me seriously with any health concerns I go to them with and if someone is wrong it will be missed I need help but I just feel helpless.
