First of all please dont google your symptoms trust me that only add to your aniexty even more & just enjoy your family & how it will help keep your mind off the things that frightening You. Dont give aniexty that much control over you if yoyr GP saying its nothing seriously wrong take that in. & if you feel better if u get a 2nd opinion then do that but dont drive yourself crazy thinking the worse.

thank you Gloria I am going to try harder not to give in to these negative thoughts and mayby ask for referral for more Cbt and no more googling

No matter how tempted you become i let my kids know when i wanted to google something they come & take my phone for awhile & tell me thats not what you really want to do. But i think thats a good idea to ask for an referrial to ease your mind let me know that goes for u!

thank you good idea with the phone:-)) this has been all triggered by my awfull silent misscarriage and then again by horrific birth of my daughter..icu twice...bleeding out twice...traumatic ambulance call...baby screaming me shaking passing clots..just thought that was it and spending time down in icu without my daughter with very ill people around...it has been almost two years but since then i am just fighting this ilness/death scarness on and off

Do not google! Worst thing ever. I've also had a pressure and headaches at the back of my scull for a week now I'm very worried about it and all my focus is on it which I think makes it worse. I'm pretty certain it's all coming from the neck and shoulders as in tension but us worries of course always think the worst. If your doctor said it's fine I'm sure it is. Hope you feel better soon xx
