Concerned I'm on verge of breakdown with health anxiety - current kidney infection too

So I have had a simple UTI and had macrobid but after finishing the dose I developed hives so now allergic to that and it didn't even work so now I'm 4 days into a script of Cephalexin. I don't feel unwell in myself no fever or pain when peeing but I am getting a bit of renal colic once a day so I may have stones too. Kidney area feels tender but no constantly hurting so I think I'm ok.

But my health anxiety has me spiralling that I am going to get sepsis as the antibiotics have not worked yet on day 4. Then when I calm myself down I find a lymph node in my groin and then I convince myself I'm really poorly.

I know this is dramatic but I have not eaten in 2 days more than a biscuit and I am having panic attacks 24/7. I just want to feel well mentally. I rang Counsellor I use and she will see me on Monday but I can't see a way out of this constant panic.

No advice but I'm currently in the same kind of panic over a health issue so just wanted to say you're not the only one feeling this way Flowers

Hi,
I posted earlier about my health anxiety, I sympathise with you, it’s just awful. I’ve been suffering with it for a year now always thinking something is wrong. Feel free to pm me if you ever need any one to speak to about it x
