My anxiety started in July this year 2006.
I woke up with pins and needles in my head convinced something was going to pop in my head. had this pins and needles dizziness for 3 months was a nightmare. About a month after the head dizziness and pins and needles the chest pains kicked in. pains down my arm middle of my chest. i went to about 5 different hospitals as i didnt believe them.
I've moved on from that now to cancer. been obsessing about it. was having alot of pain down my left side below my breast and going around the back. my doctor asked if i had checked for lumps which i hadnt. then trust my luck to find one. that freaked me out.
got that checked had a biopsy and a scan everything fine. then started getting alot of pain under my armpitt and in my boob. of course freaking out again i went back to him. had a feel this time said everything is fine hisnot concerned come back in 6 months.
well that was last week and i have booked an appointment with someone for a second opinion as im still in pain and feel like i have pulled a muscle and my glands in my arms keep coming up.
had chest xrays which have all come back clear as well.
even though i have seen someone and his not concerned i cant get it out of my head.
between this i think i may have caught HIV even though at the hosp i have had hundred of blood tests which my thearapist has said would have detected something abnormal.
then theres aches and pains in my leg which could be cancer somewhere.

This anxiety stuff is horrible.
did anyone else have problems with there glands under there arms or in there legs etc? is anyone taking anything for theres?
all i think about all the time is having something wrong with me. im scared stiff all the time. i might have a day where im ok then its back to obsessing over my moles are they growing. lost so much weight.

I think you should consider therapy or CBT to help with the problems you are having. If the doctors can't find anything then either you have run into a long line of inept doctors or the more likely reason is psychosomatic. Chances are these pains are caused by your anxiety. I know I can creat major stomach pains that are crippling when I am not on meds and practicing my breathing techniques. I think you should talk to a therapist and consider a psychiatrist as well and see what they say. They may want you to check out some more physical ailments or not, but you can't keep obsessing about this. You are just getting yourself into a panic.

thank you for your reply.
I have a therapist at the moment. been seeing him for 3 months. his very nice but it just doesnt seem to be working for me.
I have now made an appointment to see a healer. im hoping she can help me. im desperate at the moment.
Keep thinking about getting my breast lump checked out with a biopsy again just in case they were wrong the 1st time around.
also just been put on a small dosage of anti depressants.
