Q: Worrying For Nothing?

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 attack yesterday worrying about school and what not, and it was last night when I felt these symtoms return. The returned after the axiety passed however so I dont know if its related. Small little muscle twitches occur throughout my body regularly aswell. I like posting on here for reassurance even if the truth may be bitter

Hi there automatica. Best thing I can do is point you to the anxiety forums...There are many there that deal with physical stress due to anxiety.

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. ^_^
