A lot of the symptoms you are having are related to the anxiety itself. You've had a lot of testing done from what I have read. It would have shown up in one of those tests. The irritable bowel is from the stress. Everybody's anxiety is different, so the symptoms will be different, too.
-
but im in high anxiety and continue to google. :c idk how else to seek reassurance
-
I had a urinalysis done today with no abnormalities
-
I think it's just worry. When people are stressed, libido will go down.

its been 2 days that i noticed that i had weird issues in the bathroom. I had a weird bout of no sexual desire that when i try to have a moment with myself i premature ejaculate super quickly. i initially had a funky irritated feeling/ burning when i pee that wasn't major more mild. i tried today and i had it happen quickly. i have had high stress for since april non stop with constant issues. even digestive issues since the 9th that have calmed down. i started to freak out about colon cancer etc. had labs done in the ER and urgent care, had my stomach palpitated with 0 pains and all. was given vastaril and felt loads better. apparently it sounds like IBS. ive been on constant hypochondriac mode and over worrying, googling, calling telehealth doctors. and just answer doctors. and constantly have physical symptoms. now im concerned that my drive just fell out over a day. im not sexually active to others. im soo worried and need reassurance. i can pee normally with no problem, normal stream and consistent i do have a fullness feeling but still over worried.

The site was offline for most of August. It just came back up when I made my last post. I don't think notifications would have been sent.
-
Hi! Sorry I don't get notifications like I used to. I went on to another worry lol so my chest is totally fine. Isn't it wild how our minds latch on to things one after the other. So frustrating. Hugs. I hope you are doing well and your anxiety is giving you a break.
-
It's back again! 😎
-
If it is doctor-prescribed, follow the advice. I have had a recent bout of that feeling in the throat like you had. It did subside. I think I only took a Pepto Bismol once in the time I had it. It was anxiety related. I have had an extremely stressful time in the last ten months or so.
-
Well that's good news. Glad to hear it. Hang in there!
-
I'm sorry you are worried. I'm currently on semaglutide and have that feeling of food stuck in my throat and I've also had upper back pain and chest pain. Pain around my ribs like you mentioned. I think it has something to do with my digestion and over analyzing doesn't help. I don't think you have anything to fear and that it's normal gerd and after releasing some of your anxiety, your gut will follow suit. Hugs.
-
How are you feeling? I hope the achy feeling has gone away.
-
Thank you!!! Glad to talk to you again!!! You always make me feel better about my worries. I hope you are doing well. Hugs.

Having GI issues and worried :(
Healingjourney10 replied to Healingjourney10's topic in Health Anxiety
I related my symptoms to IBS i dont like the pressure feeling whenever im having the flare ups. Im on a few new meds for anxiety and bipolar so not sure if this will ease it with the new meds im taking. Im in a constant tensed state physically where i feel my body tight especially my ribs, shoulders, neck and arms going into my armpits. Now my digestion is not 100%. -
It's probably just anxiety fueling it.
-
Im worried i developed some form of tumor or bleed from an ulcer with the consistent queasiness i feel. My stomach will have minor aches on both undersides of my ribs or the center of my abdomen. I feel like i constantly have indigestion going on. Same with the feeling of needing to vomit or having something stuck in my throat that feels like a thread of chicken.releasing gas tends to feel like it helps or using the restroom but slowly creeps back up. I do have GERD and started taking omeprazole again. Should i worry?

Breast Bruise or Infection After Mammo

Ah ok I see what you are saying. And that the dr thinks they are related. I think it is typical to jump to the most catastrophic thing, but you were thoroughly checked in multiple spots and all Was fine - not the lymphoma. Rashes can be a pain and take forever to clear, but you know it isn’t life threatening. Because you were thoroughly checked. Keep reminding yourself of that! -
So I freaked out because now I have a big rash on my thigh - like a whole line down my thigh. I called Derm #1 and they got me in right away yesterday. He offered either a steroid shot but I've had those before for my RA and it works but it's hard on the body. So I asked him if it would be okay to just continue with the steroid cream and he said that would be fine but to call him if it gets too uncomfortable and I can come in for the shot. Now I have a follow up in a month. This morning, the rash is angry and everywhere. Derm #1 seems to feel that the breast issue is the same...that it's all some mystery rash. I'm prone to red spots, yes. But I've never ever had a rash like this let alone a full body rash. I just want peace. I want this done. I asked him if it was eczema...he said it's some form of eczema. He also said it looks like hives...but I wonder because I always thought hives were raised. Some areas are raised...some minor areas but not all. I asked him if it would kill me, if it was cutaneous lymphoma...he said to put that totally out of my mind. I have to trust somebody...so I need to trust him. Perhaps I should have just let him give the steroid shot. Anyhow, I'm pretty scared but just trying to remain calm as freaking out (further) is not liable to help my situation. This has certain been something.

That doesn’t sound like it is related to the breast issue at all. Very fair skin is prone to rashes. What are you concerned about in particular? At least you have an upcoming appt for peace of mind. -
Well, the plot thickens.... Now I have rashes on one ankle, both tops of feet, inside of both wrists and inside of one elbow. Seeing derm#1 again next week for a follow up. I called this morning, he said to continue to use the cream and use it in the new areas. What in the actual what....sigh....

Hi Holls! Long time no see...good for you on that. I'm glad you've been doing well. Deaths in the family can certainly cause all sorts of anxiety...and puppies, while so so so cute, are a lot of work. Sounds to me as if it's some kind of muscle pull or even tight muscles due to the stress of the deaths and new furry family members. I bet you were picking up those puppies and perhaps one weird move and you caused yourself some kind of pulled or cramped muscle. I don't think an xray would show muscle strain. Perhaps a massage? Perhaps some exercise to work out any muscle strains? Perhaps ask you doctor about those to see what she says? Anyhow, hang in there. Keep us posted.

Hi all. It's been awhile. I used to be very active on this site. I've had some recent deaths in my family that has sent my anxiety in overdrive. In March I got two new puppies that were peeing constantly so I was mopping non stop.. well soon after I had a sore and achy chest. That feeling has been coming and going since. It's usually my upper chest and sometimes around my ribs and at times, upper back. Sometimes when I take a deep breath it hurts or feels super achy. It's driving my nuts. I am worried it's something serious. I have told my Dr twice and she seems not concerned at all..she pushes and of course listens to my chest. I love my Dr and I trust her but lately I'm wondering if I'm crying Wolf. Like does she take me seriously? Idk. I want to go to urgent care and hope they do an X-ray but idk. Ugh idk. Help. And hugs everyone..

Breast Bruise or Infection After Mammo
BeautifulDisaster replied to PennyPanic's topic in Health Anxiety
That’s great that it is still improving! If you are very fair skinned, you are going to get and see all of the red marks- that’s normal. I am also wondering if you are more hypersensitive to the marks on your body now. If you get red marks, and you will, I don’t think you have to put anything on it besides a good lotion maybe. We all get red marks. Not sure about the steroid cream so calling to ask would be a good idea. I understand completely about the HA, but think of it this way: you saw 3 derms. Two of them completely disagree with the one. That should say something there. The second derm sounds catastrophic to me and overly dramatic. But you have 2 others that completely disagree! I would lean on that fact. There is no reason for your mind to go to any scary place now! You are ok and it is healing! -
Thank you for checking on me BeautifulDisaster. Still improving. On a scale of 1 to 10 where 10 was where it was when I saw him, I'd say I'm at about a 2.5(ish)...so significant improvement...still there but significant improvement. The area that Derm #3 had biopsied on my hip is completely gone but that went away by itself...I think it was a textile allergy...I had purchased "el cheapo" underwear and I think they were killing me. I also stopped using dryer sheets and am using dryer balls (non-wool, vegan dryer balls)...just in case. I had a reddish area on my thigh that came up...but that could legit be a bruise...I don't know if it's related...it's almost gone. I have a reddish area on my wrist..but I haven't put steriod on it as I wash my hands constantly and I don't know how to do that with washing my hands throughout the day. Also I'm so fair skinned that any little mark looks red on me so it might be nothing at all. Anyhow, the main area of concern is on the breast and that is far far far improved. I have a follow up in a few weeks with derm #1 to see how things are progressing. I don't know if it will be gone by then, but I sure do hope so. I'll call him this week though because I've always heard you can only use steroid creams for 2 weeks at a time...and Thursday will be 2 weeks. So if it's not resolved, I'm not sure if I should continue until I see him or not. Mentally I do feel better but since I have HA, the words of derm #2 telling me that it could be something really bad even if the biopsy is negative keeps playing through my head. Derm #3 told me that "something really bad" is off the table with the biopsy results as far as he was concerned. Derm #1 told me that Derm #2's comment was ridiculous...and then why would anyone run any test at all ever. So that makes me feel better...but being the HA person that I am....well...anyway, I'm trying to not let my mind go to a scary place because I have to relax and calm down. My own anxiety could be playing into this. BeautifulDisaster, thank you for caring...truly.

So glad to hear that that derm agrees with the one who did the biopsy, and that the steroid cream is working! It has been some time since you posted this- has more of it gone away? That’s interesting that he would not have biopsied you. That, along with him pretty much agreeing with the 3rd derm, should make you feel so much better! I am so glad the steroids are working! Hopefully you are feeling better!!
