Health anxiety
I just threw up again and am so so tired now ... my doc told me to go for endoscopy test cuz she can't pin point why I've been throwing up since 5days

I had something done like this earlier this month. The prep was tougher than the procedure but you'll get through it. I really didn't want to do it either. Nothing may even come of it in all honesty but it's best to check. You'll be fine Ella, just push through it for now and look after yourself. Stay in there

@Ella_ Rose Pains fine. Just have back issues currently. Been seeing a chiropractor which was way better than the doctors. Also, been looking at signs of low dopamine which can cause some of the pain I have, so I'm working on sorting that out. I know you're scared and it's natural to feel that way but if you don't know what you're working with, how are you going to get better? You've got this. You're amazing and strong, just remind yourself of that.

@Wolfram I'm glad you're doing better, Levi I think I need to see a chiropractor as well cuz all this Christmas decor and visitings has made me so stiff ugh Yk, I really wanna go for this test cuz it's been like 3years on and off I'm having tummy issues but I'm just praying that I don't have to go for it ... like maybe if I strengthen my Faith in Lord Jesus, He'll help me out? but I also feel guilty for thinking this way...

@Ella_ Rose I'm not religious or anything but if God created all then he made doctors. Have faith in that. 🙏

@Wolfram I'm sorry.. I should've asked before talking about Faith .. and yes you're right, God did make doctors for times like such

I had to have a colonoscopy this year and was so scared of what they might find. All turned out ok. Sending you big hugs I know how scary it is to face a medical procedure when you have health OCD. 💖

I had an endoscopy. It's not a bad procedure at all. You sleep through it.

So much uncertainty with health issues like this. I can feel your frustration and pain over this. Please know people care about you no matter what, and allowing people to care for you takes a little bit of courage too. I never had and endoscopy done so I can't share what it's like, wish I could. It's probably something better to have done sooner than later.

Has anyone ever had an intrusive thought of thinking you’ve might’ve swallowed something dangerous and you can’t trust your own mind? And you feel like you need to go in to get checked out? Any advice or reassurance?

Health OCD/anxiety stomach cancer fears
Hi, I have been under extreme stress since about March this year, and from that started suffering from very bad health anxiety which has caused panic attacks etc. I’m in the middle of a spiral right now though because I am certain I have stomach cancer. I am 31 and female. Last week I had a very good few days anxiety wise and almost felt like myself. But on Sunday morning I woke up having to rush to the bathroom (TMI sorry) and felt very nauseous. I am emetophobic so this scared me too. Since then I have been having bad stomach cramps, had to rush to the toilet once a day, and some nausea. I have no appetite at all (last week I had a very good appetite but this week I am having to force myself to eat). I am thinking about my symptoms constantly which I think might be making them worse. I have had a bowel screening done which was clear so no blood, and a calprotectin which was very slightly raised at 53, but my GP said she wasn’t concerned about it but would refer me for further testing if I wanted. So I do have more tests booked but not for some months yet. I’m just really scared because of the stomach cramps, nausea, and having to rush to the bathroom once a day for five days now. I have also had bad acid reflux but that only tends to happen when I have taken propranolol. I also have IBS so maybe my anxiety has flared it up but I’m not convinced. I’m just so scared to the point I can’t leave the house and I have been lay in bed for five days thinking about my symptoms and that I could have stomach cancer. I have also been referred for CBT in the near future to help deal with this, but I’m scared that I’m brushing something off as anxiety and giving time for the illness to spread. I just feel constantly scared. I thought I’d had a breakthrough last week but this has just hit me like a tonne of bricks. Has anyone else dealt with anything like this? I just want to feel okay again I am freaking out so bad
