Am I going crazy?

[Fightingtobepositive]

Yes I posted about protein powder literally 10 minutes ago. Now I’m checking in over general health. I feel like I’m going absolutely crazy with health anxiety lately. I am experiencing some weird symptoms and it’s making me crazy.
Just some to mention spotting between periods, forgetfullness, hair loss. Recently weird loss of taste and smell (short lived and usually after a hot bath or lying down) I had a cold about 5 weeks ago and do feel like one side of my nose gets inflamed. I’ve had the odd shooting pain up my face (side that feels congested) it’s happened a handful of times over the last few months. I don’t know. I’ve messaged doctors and they have give me an apt for bloods before booking an apt with the gp. I’m 39, could this be heading to peri-menapause, a nasty cold or worse. I’m besides myself at the minute 🙈

Sounds like peri and a sinus issue due to your recent cold. Can recommend rinsing sinuses with Sterimar.

im only 39 could it really be peri?
the sinus thing is what I’m hoping. But would it really be going in this long? I’m driving myself crazy with worry. Especially as the symptoms from sinuses are all one sided on my face.

Hi op, sorry you’re going through this it’s worrying, but you have the gp and they will check for infection and other issues. Yes peri can start this early, it often gets overlooked but I think earlier has been accepted. Also sinusitis can become chronic and take a while. It can affect all sorts as they’re near a lots of nerves etc. Try not to worry!
