dont Really no we’re to start with this please be kind, I have severe anxiety/health anxiety which I am working on. Any symptom and my world comes crashing down and I focus on it for months at a time untill it proves to be nothing or I find a different symptom to focus on each thing I change to feels very real eg heart attack brain tumour blood clot, the usual things someone with health anxiety would obsess over. It all started when I had a miscarriage that for a while they couldn’t locate and there was talks of eptopic. It set me off for the worst 8 months of my life everyone’s sick of me and I’m exhausted, irritable and just very low and tired of it all. ANYWAY recently I’ve started getting headaches on and off basically every day I went the doctors and they said allergies possible low b12 which I’m going to get a blood test for which does fit as all 3 of my children have allergies and basically everyone in my family, I have a fuzzy feeling in head and ears blocked stuffy nose head ache top of head and eye brow sometimes itching nose and roof of mouth not all the time though and I do sneeze sometimes a lot other days none atall, they gave me antihistamine which I stopped after 2 days as I didn’t like the way they’ve made me feel I am going to start them again however. Please someone tell me can hay fever really make me feel like bad I’m waking up exhausted like I’m hungover very groggy I have a few okay hours through the day just blocked nose and headaches but by night again I drained head feels funny . I’m eating crap my children wake me up 5 plus times a night and I’m a bag of nerves and I feel anxious and stressed 90% of the day I am falling apart and just want reassurance that I’m not dying

You're not dying, you need some sleep, probably some water and some help for your anxiety.

Possibly allergic rhinitis? A nasal spray from your GP and an antihistamine may help. I suffer with similar symptoms and have done for years. Pressure is always o er my eyes and sinuses and I'm exhausted.
Re your health anxiety. Over the last two years, I've had referrals for a pea size lump that appeared in my labia, suspected womb cancer, been checked for oral cancer as keep getting lesions in the same place in the roof of my mouth, referral for possible bladder cancer, and a couple of moles checked out. I now have a full bill of health so all of those things have not been a death sentence!
I have also had testing for young onset dementia as my memory has been causing me concern for years now, father had a particular form that caused me concern. They were amazing and reassuring. My poor memory has been linked to medication I'm in for life, for my spasming bladder, so the meds have been changed. As we age, we have lots that need to be checked out. We are lucky in the UK that we can have these services, albeit the wait times aren't great at the moment.

My mum suffers with this takes the antihistamines everyday and the nose spray or she’s in a terrible way I’ve calmed down since last night and common sense and rationale has kicked in I think. Glad to hear you’ve had a clean bill of health and your right as we age we do need to take care of our selfs more thankyou
