Worrying for nothing?
Posted: 02-06-07 10:18am

------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------

hello everyone,
for the past little while, about 2 months or so, I have been feeling off. It started with my heart. It felt like I was having a hear attack but the doctor in emergency told me it was most likely anxiety. I began to get a fever shortly after but I dismissed this. My chest muscles began to ache and soon enough I was getting pain in my body in various places. It appears that those pains have gotten better but one and awhile they return. Im not too familiar with the symptoms of cancer, however, they seem quite generic as many diseases share the same symptoms. I have become quite the hypocondriac recently, I must admit, as ive been thinking it was every kind of cancer I read about along with other diseases. I have made myself believe I had cancer so much to the point that I actually believed without a doubt that it was definitely what was causing my symptoms. I have had some blood work done recently and im awaiting the results. Could I be overreacting? Im just really worried
also, I had a small anxiety sttack yesterday as I was worrying about school and some other things, and it was last night and today these symtoms came back

It sounds to me like you are overwhelmed. When a person is stressed its amazing what the body will do..Create pains, get sick...And just get pissed off in genral.

You awsome for taking the steps you have ie. Blood work etc...Many people will just go on there day and not see a profesional. I wouldnt worry to much untill you know for sure that you have something. Stressing this matter will only make your trip harder.

All in all youll be fine..Keep your head up. ^_^

Thanks color. Having this on my mind 24/7 is a weight I hate having to bare. Ive been posting this very thread in different forums just to get some kind of response. I went a long time without seeing a doctor, trying to rationalize what I had to myself as benig harmless, or blaming the common cold. It came to a point where I just looked at myself in the mirror and said it was just time to do it. If I have nothing I will be thoroughly relieved and I have something I can begin to treat it, but since the blood test ive found myself worrying about the results more than ever. I cant shake the idea of it being cancer, even though I know little about it and my symptoms can be rationalized with a hundreds of other deseases both fatal and harmless. At this point, I really am just hoping its anxiety even though at first I didnt want to think it may have been that. All in all, am I overreacting? Probably, but I just cant shake the feeling that maybe im not... Maybe im dying! I will also say this, aside from this forum, the internet is a horrible place to research symptoms. It has officially turned me into a hypocondriac
