So let me start with saying I do suffer with health anxiety which is having a flare up right now...
I took the kids swimming yesterday and swam underwater through a jet of water which shot up my nose. It felt horrible but I didn't cough anything up and carried on swimming.
Last night I started feeling tired and a bit sick and like there was cold water running down my throat into my stomach (or lungs).
I remembered something about secondary drowning that I had seen on here and googled it then got myself in a right tizz that I was going to die in my sleep or something.
This morning I got a painful spasm under my right rib and the weird cold sensation was still there so I decided to go to A&E (not something I would normally do but I was feeling very worried).
They were very thorough and did an ecd, bloods, checked my throat and also did a chest xray as they were concerned I might have aspirated some water and might need anti-bs.
Anyway all was clear and they said no anti-bs needed.
Am now worried that they might have missed something. I didn't mention the secondary drowning thing.
This is my anxiety isn't it? I suffer from acid and indigestion anyway which might explain the cold feeling in my throat and stomach.
I do go to therapy and have for several years. Never done the medication thing though... If this is anxiety again maybe it is time :(
