I think I may be going crazyam I
I have a terrible "lump" in my throat. Like the kind you get when you are about to cry. My chest hurts too, like something heavy is on it. I went and got an EKG at the ER and everything is OK. I don't feel panicky. But I do feel like I am about to cry for no reason. I never cry. I don't think I have cried for a year and a half. But I feel tears welling up in my eyes and I don't know why. And it is physically painful. It hurts my throat and chest. This has been going on for about 5 days now; am I loosing it? Has anyone else been through this? What's happening to me?
Answer:You might be experiencing hypochondria. Here is a link on hypochondria and some tips to get better from the encyclopedia:
"If you are worried about having a serious medical illness despite receiving reassurance to the contrary by a physician during a comprehensive evaluation, you might benefit from these techniques:
Keep a journal describing symptoms or events that led to your anxiety or panic attacks, or episodes of illness worry. This should allow you to see a closer link between your symptoms and external events.
Try to restrict or put a time limit on your internet medical research, reading of medical books, or self-checking behaviors as they tend to increase illness worries.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a good night sleep, well-balanced diet and a positive outlook. A good tip is to follow the PEAS tool sometimes used to combat depression: Pleasure, Exercise, Achievement and Socializing - try to add an aspect of each to daily activities.
