Weird feelings in body

[mark]

Hello I'm a 38 yr old male. For the past 2 years I have been dealing with pains in my upper stomach that have caused me to have dizzy weird feelings like I'm going to pass out or die. I have had many tests and they all come back good. I used to google symptoms but they caused me to freak out that something is really wrong with me. I feel like I may have health anxiety but not sure. Had any one had this? Need some advise

Hello Mark

I'm sorry to hear that but from the sound of it, you seem to be fine. If multiple doctors screened you and gave you the verdict that you are fine but you still feel like you're dying? It could mean other things. It's not normal...

If you are interested to hear what I have to say, talk to me via pm, yeah?

Hello, Mark, nice to meet you and a very warm welcome. I am sorry that you are experiencing physical pain. when we suffer from anxieties it can manifest as pain in our bodies. Because this can happen, it means that there may not be actually anything truly wrong with us but it all be 'in the mind' so to speak.

It doesn't bode well to google health problems as we are not doctors. Then again, I suppose it is not such a bad idea. If you are worried about anything in your health, it is always advisable to see a doctor. This can always put your mind at rest and it is your right to see a doctor. Remember as well, that you can always get a second opinion.

Have a look at this link. There is a list on it of illnesses that can cause abdominal pain and dizziness. Anxiety disorders and even agoraphobia are on the list!

The thing is though when my dogs are not well, I have googled it to see if it is recommended to take them straight away to the vet. Or I may find a way I can treat the problem myself. Even with my anxiety and depression problem and the PTSD and CPTSD, I'm googling for information. I'm finding out things about myself but I can still identify what relates to me and what doesn't. So the problem with googling symptoms lays in the inability to know what relates to us exactly. I'm just learning that anxieties can cause stomach pains and dizziness. Both which I get frequently and I never realised it was probably to do with my mental health all along.

So it means that although it is okay to research symptoms, we must remember that our research may not have found the correct answer and a doctor is the one who can do those tests. When the tests come back clear we should clear it from our heads too. I try not to think of illnesses for fear I may attract them to me.

I use to look up all of my symptoms but not anymore because half of them said I had this and that it just made me to upset,if i had something I am sure the doctors would tell me,I would hope they would but when you have anxieties every little ailment makes u feel like something is seriously wrong.Itis a very scary feeling.
