Worried about symptoms

Hi, 

i have a blood test booked for Wednesday and they said for further testing they'd be able to offer scans.

I've had headaches, dizziness and tiredness for 2 months and recently I've been getting pins and needles in both of my legs and sometimes muscle cramps and weakness in my body. They've told me it's anxiety lots of times but I just feel there's something wrong and I feel like nobody listening . I have 2 children and I'm trying to enjoy things with them but I can't think of anything else. I'm petrified of my results ...

I was just wondering if anybody else has ever had the same.

    Hi,

    I've suffered from health anxiety for as long as I can remember. I've learned from my doctor that our bodies can make all sorts of gurgles, have twinges, and leave us feeling exhausted. If you think it is something more, get the tests they suggest. Knowing is so much better than worrying! If it is something, you can address it and if it isn't, you can move on with your life. The best way to combat that anxiety is by taking control of your health. Take it one day, one test at a time, you got this!
