Me too! This happen to me as well , I was getting pain my on the side of my hips on both sides and my first thought was probably the same thing . I googled the symptoms and I started crying and couldn’t breath , I was all hot and trying to make my self be chill as possible but I was making my self think I had it all night . It’s called heath anxiety. It’s where you think somethings wrong with your heath and worried about it all the time . It sucks . Anything small to a headache to even a bruise I take seriously. It sucks . Just try not to google anymore because it gets you worked up and take away your happiness and time
Hiya....i suffer from health anxiety quite badly....the pain in is my tummy but then I get this dull ache just above pubic bone the doctor said it was anyhing to worry about then it went away for a few months and now it back...im convinced now I'm dying x
Yes that’s health anxiety, I always go to the doctors too and they tell me not to worry and I never believe them ‘ I always convince my self that’s something wrong with me or a loved one . I always worry a lot of anything , I try my best not to but it’s hard
Hello
I totally get your Health Anxiety but a slight pain in the tummy which we all get could be indigestion as you suffer with that is not ovarian cancer
Googling is the worse possible thing you can do it will feed that health anxiety please stop looking and I say this because I have spent years like you and I know what makes it worse
If your HA is getting so bad you need to see that Doctor , not sure if you are taking meds or getting any Counselling but you do need something to help you and your Doctor needs to know so they can get you the right help
Hi Lulu...i know how bad it is...its just been a dull tummy ache and lower backache on and off all day so just wanted to see and that was what came up....the docs are aware of my anxiety i have been on so many medication nothing helps 😢😢...i feel so down today not eaten anything so now I'm convinced it because I'm dying 😭😭
I have always had health anxiety but most of the time I manage it with years of changing the way I think until something rears its ugly head
I have just been through , blood tests , one which would have shown had I had ovarian cancer as well as scans as I had been getting a lot of pain in my kidney area , well thank god all has come back ok but the fear O boy like you stopped eating and stopped functioning but this Health anxiety will always tell us the worse scenario because that is how it controls us !
OK yo have tried different meds and they have not worked , have you had therapy ? even if you have then you need to be asked to be referred either way
There is a saying
There is nothing to fear but fear itself
Make sense it is the fear we fear and get in a state with
Now you must try and eat something , you are taking those meds and you will get more pains on an empty stomach and just reminded me when I took the same meds I would sometimes get bouts of pain
Try and keep asking for help from your Doctor , keep asking and asking till you get the right help for you and therapy I think would be the best way
