I turned 17 this year and In August I experienced my first panic attack - shortness of breath, uncontrollable shaking, etc. The doctors concluded that it was due to me overthinking and worrying too much. I was shaken up quite a bit the week following but since then I ve had many aches and pains. I woke up one morning with extreme back pain which became better throughout the day. It s happened before so I passed it off as just pulled muscles. I ve also been experiencing sharp abdominal pain, mostly under the rib cage and above my hip bones. Sometimes I d feel sick after eating heavy meals. I ve been healthy all my life so I m just jumping to the conclusion that it s my anxiety causing these pains. But it s been happening for weeks now and I m starting to get scared about my health. I just lay in bed or daydream at college about it. Sometimes distracting myself helps but most of the time it s all i think about.
Finding out what is actually wrong would help massively. I would be able to get closure and concentrate on getting better and helping myself.Having exams coming up is scary as I feel as if i won t be able to do my best due to worrying about this.
Plz help
