Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I went in for a test a couple weeks ago and will get the results soon. They will tell me if I am vulnerable to heart disease, diabetes, auto-immune illness and cancer.
My thought, at the time, is that it's best to know so that I can take precautions. Now I'm worried that the results will just give me new things to obsess about!
I've also been having this weird new thing with my scalp feeling like it's being pulled. And at times when it does that I feel like there's a sort of rush and sometimes something akin to a mild, brief dizzy spell. Pretty sure most people wouldn't even notice this but it's been 5 weeks and it's really starting to piss me off. It's an on and off thing. If people have solutions I'd love to hear them.
The test should give us some insights into what's going on. MD says it's just anxiety but I'm wondering when it will stop. I don't feel particularly anxious and I'm hoping my blood test shows I just need more Vitamin D or something. Can I ask for prayers/good vibes?
I guess my concern is that they'll either find something serious or nothing at all.

The scalp thing sounds very odd. I've never had anything like that, but I do get a lot of headaches and sometimes weird shooting pain in my eye. I know this is a combination of sinusitis and anxiety.
There are so many good drugs that can slow down the progression and
allow you to live a normal life. There is even a drug called Metformin
that can help prevent diabetes if you are pre-diabetic. On Crestor, my
cholesterol is 95 and im taking the minimum dose.
Anxiety can have many physical effects itself , including dizziness, racing heart, ringing in the ears, among others.
My doctor had wanted me not taking vitamins, but I now think that I am going to start experimenting with the vitamin therapy route. She doesn't want to see me anymore for my 'mental illness' anyway. As soon as I have some extra money I am also going to the chiropractor thanks to your advice.
I didn't even know they tested that. I guess that is very smart if it is something that you can prevent, but if it is not, I think the information would freak me out. I currently have anxiety over illnesses though, you may not. I saw a freckle on the back of my hand one day and automatically thought I had skin cancer. Just for a moment. I calmed it down, but knowing that I was prone to diabetes or my biggest fear Cancer. Augh. Not wanting to make your fears worse, but I can understand.
But I will pray for you and send you good vibes!
