Really stressed from 2 years

[Aamir147]

Actually I have been caught into this cycle in May 15 2017

I had been in a wedding ... So as I came back I felt pain in my abdomen and was constipation ... This was the first time I had this pain for along a week ..tried every medicine but nothing helped me though ... So a fear started into my head of me having something serious ... Like bowel cancer ... I got very deep into this ... So I went to Dr everyday almost ... Did tests but fine ... Had every symptom like constipation pain daireehia loose stools foul smelling stool ... Mucus everything .... But he said I was ok .... But I never agreed on that ...said might be IBS .... EVERDAY I HAD FEAR OF CANCER THAT I AM GOING TO DIE .... Then suddenly I had a pain in my head ... Again started noticing it might be brain tumor and the cycle started continues headaches but my abdominal pain was gone .... Can't even lye down as it gave me terrible pain went for CT and MRI clear ... But still I thought what if doctors might be missing something .... Then had stomach ache ... With burning pain ... 9 / 10 ... Nausea everything again thought of cancer ... Every test ended up having nothing all clear. .. and after this many other pain like in my chest throat etc ... And eachone used to subside as the new arrived .... Just 1 week before I had pain in my genitals from a months I didn't pay attention but still my mind thought this could be worst .... I went to hospital .. they did usg there ... And yet again everything was normal ... Did blood test and urine test ... They we're fine too just my blood platelets were little low ... Which the Dr said is ok and no to worry about .... No just 3 days before I heard that my uncle has cancer ... I just shocked me .... So as I heard the symptoms he told he have had I am starting to have exact same symptoms on me ... I am worried really worried do I have the same problem .. he is having renal cancer spread to his spine .... Which caused him his back ache ... Leg ache numbness .. from couple of months which the doctors misdiagnosed as herniated disc ... The moment I heard this from him I am having same symptoms ... Pain in my left back ... Hip..like pain in both legs ... What is wrong within me ... Please help me out ...☹️

It's anxiety. You are probably experiencing fear of illness. You can talk to a professional therapist about this.

You know I am totally drowned into myself ... I mean the pain sensation is so real that it never let's me think that it's just anxiety not cancer .... I always think that what if this is not anxeity but something serious this time .... The back pain hip pain is stressing me so much that I am googling it from 3 days

Do Not Google Aamir. Whatever it is, only your doctor knows your health history and

can put 2 and 2 together. When we google we get a generalized diagnosis. Your symptoms have nothing to do with your uncle being sick or what google may imply.

Believe in professional opinions and don't allow Health Anxiety take you down the

road to catastrophic events that haven't even happened to you. My best to you xx

Thank you for reply Agora ... Idon't want to Google it but I am stuck in this vicious cycle from 2 years .... I have gone Soo weak mentally and physically too ... I was ok for 4 5 months though I had pain in my throat but I knew It was nothing but sometimes used to think what if this might be something ... The pain was always there ... But from a month I am bedridden in my room ... Started with the pain in my genitals ... The next day throat pain was gone ... The pain in my genitals after this back cahe hip pain leg pain Started .... And most probably when I did the usg of my genitals .... It came clear that relaxed me ... And this thing showed up and flared up when I heard about my uncle ... I am totally going mad

Oh I understand Aamir. I am not putting you down or ridiculing your fear.

Those fears are real, it the disease that you think you have that are not.

When Anxiety takes hold of us so strongly, the "what ifs" come into play

and over rule our doctor and our rational mind. Our subconscious mind

plays that scenario over and over again until we doubt the professional as

well as ourselves. It can make us feel as if we are losing our minds.

I am very sorry that your uncle is so ill but you are not him. A therapist can

help you separate the fear of fear cycle from reality.

I'm glad you did reach out to us for support. It's important when fear takes

control. We are here for you, you are never alone. xx
