Try not to worry as it wont really help you.

My take on this is that you are best to give it time and see what happens.If it clears up its great.

If you are still having trouble when you go back to the Dr. then there are other tests can be run. 

Please try not to worry.

Hi Anxietyman, 

If you think there is something out of the ordinary for you please be persistant. Sometimes doctors can fob things off if you are of a young age. Only you know your body and fingers crossed it's absolutely nothing but if it is,  time is most definatly an important factor.

Don't ever thing your wasting someone's time, keep on until you get definite results. 

Please whatever you do don't brush it under the carpet.

Hi.

      I'm sorry you're feeling like this. Could it be your gallbladder? I have problems with mine and what you describe is similar to how I get when mine plays up. Ask your doctor for a scan as they will be able to see if you have gallstones or not. 

Good luck. X

Thank you for your reply. I am not too sure tbh. I'm hoping it's just ibs, or maybe psychosomatic... I really don't know. I am currently at a&e due to extreme anxiety and they are testing my blood again for liver and pancreas status. I think it's more to calm me down but I'm still ******* myself. The doctor gave my front a good and thorough examination  ( the first doctor to do so for more then 10 seconds ) I really don't know what to do with myself. I just want to be in bed with my partner thinking about the future but I'm stuck in my own thoughts. I hope everyone reading this is as well as can be! 

Just wanted to update. I went to a&e last night with adominal discomfort and back pain. I said what I was worried about it being and they gave me a liver and pancreas function blood test. Liver was fine and pancreas was only slightly elevated. They gave me a fair few physical examinations. And told me they are 99.9% sure it's not cancer. But obviously noticed how anxious I was and sent me away with referrals for an ultrasound and a camera down the throat. The doctor seemed fairly confident I just had a bad case of gastritis which is elevated by my anxiety. They also sent my blood away for a ( I forget the exact name ) C19?? Tumour marker test which will take a few days to return. They have prescribed me Lansoprazole 30mg and they seem to have settled my discomfort somewhat. Also been given cocodemol and diazepam.

A member of the crisis support team have also visited me and had a chat just to try and calm me down. 

Symptoms so far are 

Upper adominal discomfort but it seems to move up and down. 

Mild back pain 

Slight weight loss ( but it has gone back up slightly) 

Slight loss of appetite. 

There's nothing else they can really do being a weekend so I just have to wait for the referrals to come through. Worried and very anxious. Don't want to freak any of my family out but I have voiced my concerns to my partner and mother. The doctors seem pretty sure ( I spoke to 4 total including one who's worked with people suffering from pancreatic cancer and they all seem confident it's nothing to worry myself over ( although they might just be saying that to calm me down ) 

I don't really know what to do with myself. I've just scared myself silly. 

Any reply from anyone will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Anxiety Man, 

Think you've done all you can to get the answers you want, I think the docs would have let you know something if they were generally worried so keep calm and trust that they will now look into everything for you. 

Sounds like they are looking after you and have all in hand. Hope you can relax a little.

Has anyone here had a similar experience? 

I just need some advice please. Is anyone here? 

I don’t think it will be beneficial for anyone here to give you reassurance, Anxietyman.

Seeking reassurance isn’t an effective way to manage your anxiety. It does not work. You’ve already been given reassurance in buckets (your GP, A&E staff and 4 separate doctors) - and that hasn’t worked. 

Perhaps a different approach is needed...

Good luck with everything. 

PS - you asked if anyone had had a similar experience (more seeking reassurance). If someone came along and said “yes”....that also wouldn’t work! You’d still be as anxious and then go try and seek more reassurance elsewhere. 

I'm sorry :(
