Anxiety Causing Sickness
Posted: 10-10-05 18:48pm

So , I had some nosebleeds everynow and then , I now keep my nose nice and moist and cant afford a humidifier , I have read about people with exact symptoms like mine. But I stumbled across the word brain tumor and have had a kind of anxiety when I think about it , im not all that anxious about it anymore , but does thinking about being sick or something , kind of make you feel sick? Like , I had a little pain in my left arm , I wouldent really call it a pain , it was more of a throb. And I had a small curious sensation kinda near my head , on the left side kinda. Felt a bit dizzy but that usually goes away and I only really get that when its too hot and such. So , I have read about brain tumors and all , I dont match symptoms. Well , I match a few but so do every other person in canada and the usa. They are just simple things I get. Currently I got this kinda , all I can describe it as is a strange sensation :p , in my left arm kinda. Its not numb or painful or anything , but its kidna...Warm is how i'd describe it , I woke up really fast these last two days , put on my glasses , jumped outta bed and just ran downstaires onto the computer or tv , that gave me a small headache . Just took some tylenol to get rid of it , so should I wake up slower ? Or what , can someone help me out here? I feel normal and felt normal before I started reading about brain tumors , the chances of someone having a brain tumor compared to a small or other type of sickness are really rare I know , so , am I just being a paranoid fool , or what? I thought I was sick before and just forgot all about it , I look back on that now and kinda laugh about it. So do I got some kinda anxiety here? I kinda felt better once I read all about tumors and such. I read that best way to get rid of anxiety is to face your fears or whatever.

Anxiety can definitly cause you to feel sick. Symptoms are different for everyone. I would separate your rational fears from your irrational fears and start from there.

It's a good thing you look up symptoms to rule things out. I do that too. I use webmd's symptom checker a lot.
