anxiety taking over.........

[debs180]

Hi,
i suffer with GAD and health anxiety and at the moment its all pretty high on the scale!!!
I have a achey/painful left arm, its in the bicep area...so i thought or hoped more like that its muscular and not a problem with my heart as thats what the irrational side of me is saying!!!! I had my baby 3 weeks ago now, and i do have her led that side on me alot...for feeding, winding and comforting etc so maybe could be related to that?? Do u think it is muscular?? Im sorry for the rant im alone at the momeny and have no one about to reassure me soooooo im feeling the anxiety alot tonight!!!!
Thank you for and advice/comfort/reassurance in advance..thank you for reading...

good old anxiety! Its been firmly attached to me for ar too many years!! I was pretty much in a long goo spell without it and wham it returned with an intesity I had never know after the birth of my DD.

Sooooo easy for me to say but you are fine. It wont be your heart and likely muscular, especially as you still have pregnancy hormoes floating around and it's easy to strain amuscle.

Definitely go see your Doc, to keep on top of how you're feeling and in case you feel you may beed some counselling or medication to help keep things in perspective.

I have GAd and OCD so I know exactly how you are feeling. It's awful when your logical self knows there is nothing wrong but irrational fear takes over and you really can't control these fears. I think you probably have just strained a muscle or something. Maybe get some deep heat cream and try that. I wouldn't worry too much even though it's hard I know.
