Could This Be Realted to Stress/anxiety? Posted: 12-30-06 11:00am
Hi all, i'm new to this site and i'm so
glad i've found it! I posted this in
another forum thinking it might be related
to something else but then came on here
and realised that ike many symptoms I have
had before that this 'new' one could be
related also to stress and anxiety.
A bit of background about myself first so
please bare with me. I'm 31 and after
giving birth to my second child 4 years
ago I developed post natal depression
which wasn't like usual pnd as I had
constant anxiety and panic attacks
thinking something was wrong with me all
the time and thinking I was going to die
and that every ache/pain I had was realted
to cancer or heart disease e.T.C as a
result I was sent for various tests. It
took me 2 years to stop the 24 hour panic
attacks with help from anti depressents.
5 weeks ago , I gave birth to my 3rd child
and a little over a week ago I developed
an ache ( almost stinging ) under my right
ribs 2wards the middle not to the side.
It doesn't really aches when resting and I
can only feel it if I bend or press the
area in. As a felloew health worrier I
have started to think liver cancer or
something as equally life threatening.
But just reading about the symptoms of
anxiety and stress on here is it possible
for this ache to be caused by this? Has
anyone had this before?
I will , however, mention it to my dr at
my post natal check but just wondred if
anyone else had suffered the same?
Thank you so very much for reading and
taking your time to reply if you can
help!
