Hello elaine79 & Welcome

I know that feeling very well , it is so awful and unless you have been there or going through it no one else understands exactly how bad this feels and affects us but we do so you have found somewhere you can come and talk

Have you suffered with anxiety long ?

Has something particular triggered it of ?

Have you seen a Doctor ?

Do you have family and friends to support you ?

Sorry for all the questions and you don't have to answer them all just a little more information would maybe help us to know best what to advise you if we can

Know you are not alone though and hope that helps a little

Take Care x

Hello

Well I can relate to Health Anxiety , suffered most of my life with it and still looking for the answer

Headaches though are really common when we have anxiety , I get migraines to and the more we feel anxious the more we get and the longer they linger so maybe try doing some meditation or relaxation exercises there are lots on you tube just to try and get your body to relax

Have you spoken with your Doctor about how bad you are suffering ?

Would be worth talking with them if you haven't , Counselling or therapy could possibly help which they could refer you for as well as medication but my Health anxiety has a fear of meds so the latter is not much of an option for me but I am trying to get Counselling as I do feel that will help and hopefully get to the root of the problem x

Ye I get counselling at the moment waited nearly 2 years to see someone 😢 But doesn't really help in anyway, think this is the worst iv ever felt, I get headaches all the time had them for years and chest pains which is a horrible feeling, not slept in 2 nights , doctors don't do anything for me. Thanks again x

Hope you get counselling soon 🙂 x

Try and think this way , if you have been having headaches 2 years and nothing has happened to you then it must be more anxiety related because if it was anything sinister you would have known about it by now and same with the chest pains

The only other thing you could do is ask your Doctor if you could be referred to your Mental Health Team , they would assess you and then tell you the options of the different things available to try and help x
