I Have Had Sinusses For The Past Few Years

I am a 31 year old female, I have had sinusses for the past few years and normally they get so bad that I have to take grandpa to correct the pain. I have been on antibiotics before although it keeps coming back. I am currently really worried about it because I cough up alot of phlem. It always feel asif I have to clean my throat. I also had a lump on my inner thigh For wich I got antibiotics as well as medication to thin my blood. Since the antibiotics the lump has gone down. The swelling is down and the redness is gone. It doesnt hurt as much and the pain is going away. A couple of months ago I started having severe pain in my upper right back shoulder. Went to the GP quit a couple of times although they felt that there was nothing wrong with me. Did only regular check ups and blood tests. Since then I went to a Phisiotherapist and that really helped alot. The pain in my back is much better. I sometimes feel as if i am paranoid and stressed out about everything. I constantly worry about my health. I drink garlic everynight and cinnamon every morning. If i feel a tingle in my body I stress about it. I dont know if some of my conditions and symptoms are commonly just because i think about it all day. For example, i know i have bad sinusses and a constant drip but when I cough up phlem it feels like I start to think that maybe I have lung cancer. This is not normal and I dont know how to react. i just wanna know everything is fine. I've got my own bussiness. Two little ones and my husband works in Tanzania, so I am alone most of the time. Can all of this contribute to my feelings. Is there anything that you feel is to worry about.

Welcome to Health Care Magic

Some of your physical problems are genuine. However Sinus pain, Shoulder pain and lump, all are treatable. I think Chronic/ongoing symptoms might be causing some stress leading for anxiety and paranoid symptoms. You better consult GP frequently and get assurance. That will boost up your confidence. If that does not work, you need to consult Physiologist and get cognitive behavioral therapy.
