Hi,
Ever since last august i have noticed that i don't feel as well as usual, my asthma seemed to be playing up more and i felt quite down, yet i couldn't understand why. Until about march i made regular visits to the doctor, as i always felt ill but the doctor would do a routine checkup and say i either had a infection or my asthma was just playing up and would either tell me to rest or give me anti-biotics. During this period i also experienced a number of headaches.. although they were not severe, i felt like i had quite a heavy head and it always felt like just behind my ear was swollen and thats where i usually felt heaviness. As i am a hyperchondriac i always think the worst and was convinced i had a brain tumour, althought i don't think my symptoms are severe enough but i was too scared to tell the doctor incase he sent me for a scan. Instead after yet another visit, he sent me for my first blood test and my results all came back fine. He just thinks i worry to much. However, i don't know if it anxiety or stress but now nearly a year on i still suffer from a heavy head and my asthma is still quite bad at times. I also get worried i have a heart defect as my heart races at times.
I know this may sound stupid but i really need to know what is wrong with me and i really need opinions from other people. I don't feel as healthy as i used to and i don't know whether its to do with a brain defect, or if n e of my problems are causing these headaches. There just always seems to be something wrong with me.
Also.. when i get these headaches i sometimes feel like there is a pain in my mouth as well as a vague pain in my ears.
I'm sorry about the length and again i could be just worrying but i need reassuring.
Thanks
