Hypochondria Support Group
Hypochondria refers to excessive worry about having a serious illness. Hypochondria is often characterized by fears that minor bodily symptoms may indicate a serious illness, constant self-examination and self-diagnosis, and a preoccupation with one's body. Many individuals with hypochondriasis express doubt and disbelief in the doctors' diagnosis.
Just had bloods done,chest xray,endoscopy,ultrasound of abdomen and all ok but i keep getting pains under my left armpit and a lymph node behind my left ear was sore last week but its not now but its still bigger.I am worrying about lymphoma and breast cancer but i know my doc will just say i have had all these tests done and go away.I am also fatigued,bad headaches,loose bowels,foggy head etc but i cant believe all the tests come back ok.Would lymphoma or breast cancer show on blood tests?
I would be intersted to hear from anybody else who has this.
question..do you have a sore on your head? I know that my lymph nodes on my neck swell if I have picked a scab or something...it's the bodies way of fighting off the infection.
The thing behind the ear..I saw that on the internet one time. Others talked about. I know that this is bad to say for us hypocondriacs, but if you look up lump behind ear, it will tell you what it is. It's nothing bad.
All of these things can be signs of anxiety guys. We worry ourselves about so many ailments. Have you been in counseling for hypochondriasis? This is a disease, like OCD is a disease. There is help out there. Don't give up. You don't have to feel this way forever. It's okay. You are not alone.
