you seem to freak out alot which is understandable i used to - i still do! try typing 'symptoms of anxiety' on google - it will tell you all the syptoms of anxiety, whats normal and whats not.

hope this helps xxxx

I get shooting pains along the side of my head and down my arms. I was convinced that i was either having a stroke or a heartattack, but this has been going on now for about 10 yrs so it has taken a hell of a long time to happen, lol You might even be creating more pain through worry and stress!! Try not to focus on whats wrong or painful but instead think of whats good and working well, which i would think would be over 90% of everything else!! Good luckxxx

Yes I from time to time feel shooting pains in various parts of my body. Everyone does. The anxiety you have is making things appear worse than they really are. I had all kinds of stomach pain a few months ago. I was convinced I had gallstones, an ulcer, or stomach cancer. My doctor ran various tests and as it turned out there was nothing physically wrong with me. It was the anxiety that caused my stomach problems. Once the anxiety was under control the stomach problems went away.

I experience shooting pains in my chest and head. It is very painful enough to make me stop from doing anything and get scared but it happens not that often. Maybe once a week or less.

I get shooting pains in my side because I'm afraid that I'm gonna have appendicitis. I think that it's just because my anxiety is building itself on that fear, and preparing me to deal with that fear.

instead of expecting the pain to happen/get worse/be something serious; just sit on your own for about 10 mins and concentrate... Wheres the pain? where is it coming from? is there any other aches my body is moaning about? -but- and a big but, dont try and imagine aches that might come or get worse, experience the ones you have. I have done this before and it made me realise how small the aches were - undoubtedly your body is saying 'somethings up' but people dont realise that your body is repairing all the time and often needs to be oiled if you like! I will tell you a little story; I was a chronic hypochondriac, I believed with all my heart that I had thyroid cancer or a brain tumour, and I still get the nagging thoughts in the back of my head but when I look back on it - how much pain was I really in? and was it so severe to make me bed ridden or faint? the answer would be no, because all i was doing was depriving my body of care by worrying (releasing certain hormones, like from the paturiatry gland which can effect thyroids ect), and in turn worrying stopped me from sleeping and eating which again made my body not function properly so it escalated the problem.
There are rare cases where cancers and the like show little signs, but most cancers, strokes, tumours, gallbladder problems will show some bigger signs for you to make a definate decision about heading to those doctors.

I am getting occupational therapy/CBT type work for my fear of cancer. atm im OK, but it will be useful anyway to find out why you are worrying so much? stress is an illness which secretes chemicals/ negative or too many hormones and believe it or not does make you ill. once your anxiety is gone, the symptoms will clear up or improve.

omg sorry i meant 'Pituitary' -i was typing quickly lol
