bygrace, thank you so much for you words of understanding. Allot of people have Panic disorder but not everyone has it regarding thier health like me. It's a obsession for me, I ALWAYS think the worst. For the last few months its Been Brain Tumor fears, in the past Headaches made me think the same thing but my anxiety had not progressed as far as it is now. A headache is NEVER just a headache to me now its a symptom of something far more sinister.
Why can't I belive my doctor when she tells me its all just anxiety? I keep fixating on that window of doubt that I have not my doctor. After all she is the one that went to school for a hundred years, she would know this stuff. I love my doctor I think she is wonderfull, I found out that she use to be a Nun, that to me was very comforting.
As for you chest pains, I get them too, it comes with the territory, all those tensed up chest muscles hurt sometimes and its hard to not think its heart related.
I have a support group I go to everyday and they all suffer with "Health Anxiety" this support forum has been wonderful for me, they have always been there when I needed them. They are not professionals and do not give medical advice, they are there just to hear you and give some understanding.
If you would like to know the site just let me know and I can e-mail it to you.
Thank you again
Cassie
