Ultrasound of both breast today.

I have severe health anxiety. I do have some issues but its destroying. Today I have to go for a double ultrasound of my breast because of severe pain even under my arms. So scared. Even scaredbif catching covid from the person doing it. Scared if everything.how do I stop. My ultrasound at 2 today i am already having stomach issues and climbing the walls. I need advice

Hello

Take some deep breaths

99% of the time they do these scans to me 100% sure and find nothing wrong so keep telling yourself why should I be the one that they will find something wrong with

But if you were they could cure you because you have acted quick , now when caught early breast cancer can be successful with treatment it is only when it is neglected and you should give yourself a big pat on the back for facing this fear and seeing this through even though I honestly feel everything will be ok and then imagine the relief you will feel , so all this will be so worth doing

I had a heart attack a few weeks back and every nurse and Doctor that came near me I had the same fear O what if I get covid but remember they don't want it either and so they are taking all the precautions and you will to so there is no reason to fear you will catch it

You have got this , you are stronger than you think , I have HA so I know how you feel but the fear is always worse than the actual thing we go through and we look back and wonder why we got in that state

Let us know how you get on and remember , they don't want covid neither do you so they will be taking precautions as well as just making sure you are fine which I am sure you will be

Take Care x

Hi chicago22I totally understand how you feel I had a breast lump a couple of months back was worried sick 5 times a day was feeling to see if it had gone down in lost about 1 stone in weight because of the stress and aswell as worrying about covid I got though a bottle of hand sanitizer before I left the hospital health anxiety is crippling it's in your head every second i took a little healing crystal with me and kept rubbing it to try and distract myself while I was there I hope everything is OK for you I'm sure it will be

Hi Chicago22, how did you do during the ultrasound? Was sending calming

thoughts your way. Hope the results were okay. xx

[Chicago22]

Thank you all for the kind words i almost rescheduled the worst was waiting 45 minutes before they took me in. While she was doing it I assumed every negative thing especially when she would stay in 1 place for a while. I am waiting for the doctor to call me back which will probably be Monday. She said she couldn't say anything but said things looked good so that helped. We are so hard on ourselves

I know how you feel. I went to the chiropractor for a really bad back, neck and arm. They took xrays and now I harrher to go to the Dr. Because there is a white spot on my pelvis area. She wants me to get checked out. Instant panic and I have to relaxed since.

How are you getting on with this?

[Chicago22 in reply to Gill1970]

I too understand how crippling health anxiety is anything medical I have a complete meltdown lime something bad is going to happen all medical and health related..but 9/10 most of my results came back normal you are not alone in this there is quite alot of us who suffer from it I myself didnt realise how many actually suffer with this its horrible to live with Nat xx
