Scared about my health

0

The last days I’m very scared of my own health that I sometimes even start to cry because I’m so afraid something is really wrong with me but I just don’t know it.

I have problems with sleeping, I just CAN’T sleep when I lay in my bed for the first hour. It’s not like I’m thinking of something special or something is bothering me, but I’m just not sleepy so I lay awake for the most of the time. That makes me always tired and sleepy overday.

I used to be the one who never felt cold even when almost everyone was saying “it’s cold here”. But the last days I always feel cold. This morning I walked around in a dress with a hoodie, a sweater with a hoodie above it and I wore tights. Both hoodies were over eachother on my head, my hands were tucked in the pockets of my sweater and I still felt a little cold when I stood up to walk around. My brother was just sitting in his normal shirt with the sleeves tucked up and a jogging and not feeling cold, while he always used to be the one who complained it was cold. Also, my feet and hands are always freezing. Even when I’m not cold.

Sometimes I have a weird feeling in my chest or stomach randomly, it’s not overhwelming but I feel it. It goes away after a while. I also have a little bit headache sometimes, also not much but it feels different and only on one side of my head. Not like “normal” headache. And I also almost passed out last week, but that might me because I was worried about a weird red line in my eye and I seem to almost pass out everytime there is something with my body.

I’m scared there’s something wrong with me. In the summer I had a little wound and it was inflamed and I didn’t clean it or something because there was already a little crust on it and I didn’t want to scratch it off again and make it bigger. Nothing happened after, it healed very slowly but it’s now only a little darker spot on my skin. But I’m still freaking out because of that, which I stupid because it’s my own fault I didn’t clean it then.

I don’t really know what I’m asking, just.. Is there anyone who thinks that there is really something wrong with me or it’s just because I sleep bad and now I’m very fragile for sickness etc. and I’m stressing so much?.. My english is very bad, sorry for that, it’s not my home language.

A couple of months ago I could not sleep for some reason. I would feel cold and wake up cold sweating, feel random pains in my chest etc. Now my problem may not be your problem but it sounds similiar. Whenever you can't sleep its beause your mind is racing. And the reason why you probably can't sleep is because youre freaking out about and worrying about why you can't sleep. Sounds like a case of anxiety to me. But if I were you just to be extra safe you should go see a doctor but I'm sure if or when you decide to do so it wouldn't be some life threathening problem. I believe you're ok you just need to calm down. Don't force sleep when you go in your room at night take off the pc and everything. Just lay quietly in the dark and try not to think about anything. Trust me as soon as you stop thinking abou twhy you're not feling well you'd be ok. But as I said before I'm no doctor and your problem may not be the problem I had so I still thing for professioal advice you should see a doctor.

People here can give all kinds of speculations on this and I won't stop them but in the end the best thing for you to do is probably to talk to a doctor like Nikki said.
