Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
since i've had children (nearly fours yrs now) i'm constantly worried that something is wrong with my health. Every time something hurts or comes up i go to docotrs, nothing has ever been found or diagnosed, i'm really scared that i have cancer of some sort & it is being overlooked. I've had a recent check up with bloods done & all is normal. I have lingering pains in upper rhs of stomach sort of under ribs for over the last yr since a bad pregnancy & still getting it. I feel like i have some disorder i'm always thinking the worse. Every morning i wake up i'm thinking of my health & all the problems i feel i have with it. Lately i i've started to get anxiety on & off. I have a nearly 4 yr old & six month old baby. Would something show up in my blood if it was serious?
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I can understand the stressful situation you are in. As you are aware that you have health related anxiety, I don't have to diagnose it. Once your doctors say that you do not have any physical problems, you should accept it. Because they are the authority in that front. You do not have any such medical qualification or knowledge. Secondly anxiety can produce many weird symptoms which may not have any physiological or pathological reasons. You need to overcome this health anxiety. Keeping yourself busy outside your home, exercising etc can help. Breathing is a good technique to overcome stress. Researches have shown that medicines alone cannot cure mental disorders. Psychotherapy to have life style changes, Yoga and meditationn to streamline thought process and metabolism can be practiced for easy and permanent cure. Contact a psychologist for further information.
If you still need my help, please describe the whole problem in detail and post a direct question to me. I shall definitely help you with psychotherapy techniques to over come your problems.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
