Health anxiety out of controll

[Lynl]

I have had a few health tests done lately most are fine, none too bad but I'm seeing a white spot surrounding my top tooth actually s

Above tooth in gum at gum line it's one tooth and I'm freakedout plus I'm still waiting to have follow up chest X-ray for pneumonia and overwhelmed with what if

Don't google it!!!!! It's most likely nothing at all, when is the last time You've been to the dentist? I have this light brownish like area on my inner cheek right where my wisdom tooth is and it's some on the gum right behind my Wisdom tooth, I got it checked by the dentist and he told me not to worry about that, now it's a little puffy area around it and all I can think is the c word 😩And that puffiness came after I saw him last week, now I'm going back and scared all over again but trying not to get how I was last week smh my BF said I'm like a dog chasing my tail 😔And I'm like but what if the moment I decide not to worry is when something is really wrong smh I hate this.. maybe just go to your dentist for peace of mind because this shit is terrible

It is scary to find a dentist you trust so I may call who I called last time , a maxi facial Surgeon, because they are experts and deal with specialties, I've been there before when worried something was wrong, I keep getting up with a mirror to check it and saw a white dot next to it so I was brushing it away, I thought it was just an irritated area at gumline and hoping it was , but like you, I fear the worst. I hate feeling like this

I understand all too well.. if you've had blood tests done recently tho, I'm sure it's nothing. But our minds don't think that way for ourselves smh. I just had CBC blood work and everything else and here I am still thinking that the c word has been missed but everything else in my body is functioning so perfectly around it somehow smh. I keep checking inside my mouth too. With my phone light in the mirror smh it's tiring isn't it???? I know you'll be happy when you get peace of mind. I know you're fine and that everything Is gonna be okay 😌

I hope so , I've been up 4 times checking and seeing if my gum looks any better and it seems the same and it's the part if the gum where the tooth meets and it's whitish and I don't se the dot by it but the light is so bright , I'm questioning other karts if my gum. I'm so tired and want to sleep and have to get up in 2 hours. Yes this is exhausting and it's not the only thing I'm worried about

[RyRywifey Ambassador in reply to Lynl]

Omg... you really sound so much like me right now... smh I'm so sorry, because I wouldn't wish this on anybody at all.. are you feeling any better?? Have you called the specialist for an appt so you can have peace of mind? I understand soooooo much of how you're feeling smh.. I'm here if you need me, I'm going thru similar things over here so I'm right there with you

I went to oral surgeon and he felt comfortable waiting two weeks fir it to go away and just do a spit test, it's new and looks fir cancer cells but I decided to do both the sour test and the tissue biopsy, the nurse said he would not have given me a choice if he thought it was bad , also when he was done he said he feels promising that it will be fine. I hope and pray he's right

[RyRywifey Ambassador in reply to Lynl]

Yes what we fail to realize is the Drs have been doing this for years and they know what's fine and in the norm and what is not. So I know you're just fine and I'm happy you went and are closer to your peace of mind😌 It's crazy that we both fear oral cancer right now, my dentist said what I'm worried about looks fine and I shouldn't worry, but now I'm going for a second opinion which makes me even more afraid because what if she says something different smh I hate this! I wish I could be normal again and not even think twice about it smh and still be happy and carefree and fearless like I used to be

[Lynl in reply to RyRywifey]

Exactly , I want to feel normal again, also still have that follow up chest X-ray. Too much waiting. !If your not comfortable get a second opinion. What were your symptoms?

If you push on the white spot and pus oozes out it is infected. If it is just white, it might be nothing. I had a series of dental issues that lasted two years. So ask me questions.
