Hi, I am new to this so I hope to find relief.... I have posted 2 other times relating to anxiety over health concerns and now this:
I am a rather anxious person by nature, but I have developed a great deal of anxiety over the last 5-6 months regarding my health.... I have had various stomach issues over the years and lately headaches, pain in my shoulder and hip, numbness in my leg, loss of appetite, and now unexplained weight loss. I have had CBC blood tests, a chem panel, an abdominal/pelvic CT scan, a chest x-ray, an endoscopy, an abdominal ultrasound, a vaginal ultrasound that looked at ovaries, and a mammogram. Today I went for a brain MRI (no results yet) I have been to a family doctor, an internist, a physical therapist, a naturopath, a gastroenterologist, now a therapist. All of my tests have been normal, in fact, my numbers have been terrific and all of these professionals tell me that I am healthy and that anxiety is causing the weight loss. I am struggling to concentrate in my daily life due to the anxiety I feel about my health.
I am not sure if I should trust all of these doctors or if I should keep pressing. Every website I look at says cancer. Can I have cancer?
