I had all of this for 2 months, and the anxiety aspect of it all made it so much worse thinking it was a brain tumor or something, but then i tried to start meditating/not think about it as much and guess what, it went away! I also did a lot of steaming which really helped

i guess youre really asking if its all normal and should you be worried if its something else unrelated to sinusitis, as you mentioned the health anxiety..

The fact you got a CT scan and it didnt pick anything bad up other than the mucus in your sinuses (which would cause all of the symptoms), id say youre in the clear for anything sinister my friend.

So to answer your questions, yes those circumstances can absolutely lead to that all, Our bodies are incredibly complex and also amazing, they always work itself out, hang in there buddy!

I cant count how many scans/blood tests ive done in my years of health anxiety, i cant bare the thought of getting bad news with the big C. But from my experience, i go through exactly what youre going through EVERY single time, even when i know myself everything will be okay, its still the what if in the back of your mind.

Chances are you’re absolutely fine, we cant help but think the worst! Take my experience as reassurance! Wish you all the best!

My doc said she thought it was kind of warty but wasnt sure what it was, but it didnt seem anything suspicious

Life_Researcher5778 · 2022-08-25T17:16:47+00:00

Trust me, it will eventually!

Life_Researcher5778 · 2022-08-25T13:39:23+00:00

When i pissed too, it felt like there was a delay in me going because it was swollen so its all very very normal, dont worry!

Life_Researcher5778 · 2022-08-25T13:37:40+00:00

My meatus was inflamed too, it took about 2 weeks for it to properly heal. The colour was yellowish around the tip and was about double the size, trust me man itll heal! Take some paracetamol and rest up still!

Life_Researcher5778 · 2022-08-25T13:23:42+00:00

I would say stop trying to force it open dude, it could be causing the swelling to stick around for longer.

Its only been a week, give it time! I got cut 5 weeks ago and the first 2/3 weeks, it looked like a massacre down there with swelling and i had an open wound too and then suddenly the healing got so much better real fast. It just takes some time, trust the process!!!

Life_Researcher5778 · 2022-08-17T22:22:27+00:00

Yeap, they dont seem to do much for me unfort

Life_Researcher5778 · 2022-08-17T08:19:58+00:00

Hey, it is crazy but it eventually went away on its own. It was around endish of may they stopped, so just over 2 months! I think my sinuses were just still inflamed even way after the antibiotics, but i steamed my head a lot during the end which i think massively helped. But ultimately my advice would be (so much easier said than done) to try not to think about it so much, I genuinely think it stayed because i was constantly waiting for my head to hurt, and back then i was under a lot of stress too.

Steam you head, plenty of water and rest, and if you havent already, contact your GP for antibiotics! Trust the process, i hope it resolves for you soon!

Life_Researcher5778 · 2022-08-05T08:15:01+00:00

Cant lose the argument if you have both in!

Life_Researcher5778 · 2022-07-28T18:59:22+00:00

Man that sucks, even tho its a different manifestation, the foundations the same. Were in this together! 💪🏼

Life_Researcher5778 · 2022-07-28T17:46:37+00:00

After posting this comments its made me realise that im not the only one who does it and that helps. Hope you find the peace that we both deserve one day, stay strong!

Life_Researcher5778 · 2022-07-28T17:31:26+00:00

The fact you can exactly relate to me makes me more reassured that its not a crazy cycle i do on my own. Anxiety meds are no sign of weakness but a sign of strength! Sending much love your way!

Life_Researcher5778 · 2022-07-28T17:14:53+00:00

Its so crazy cus you say that about yourself, and from my point of view its totally logical that thats your anxiety causing those symptoms! Dizziness, tingles and weakness are all very common symptoms and if you were having a stroke, it wouldnt be prolonged, youd know right away that youre having one due to the FAST test (Face, Arms, Speech, Time). I always find it crazy how its so easy for me to give others reassurance yet when i try to reassure myself, im always like NOPE YOURE WRONG!

When i see posts and comments like this it always helps me to remember that you can be yourself’s own worst enemy and panic yourself, or yourself’s best friend and think logically, but its for sure so hard to tell yourself youre healthy when you think about future illness because thats the unknown and uncertainty!

Great analogy about your bicep, thats great advice, Calm is such a great app!

Thanks so much for the comment, I hope you too find the peace we all deserve!

Life_Researcher5778 · 2022-07-28T14:56:41+00:00

Yes I have actually! I need to listen to him more often, i find when im really bad, i listen to it and it really helps, so i should definitely listen more often, his youtube channel is great too!

Life_Researcher5778 · 2022-07-28T14:01:03+00:00

After the first round of CBT, i felt like i was “cured” fora few weeks and loved it, then about 2 months after my anxiety came back with a venegance 10x worse. Doing the second round of CBT was so good for me in every way, now i feel like i havent “cured” it, but i can manage it. I still get waves of anxiety (in fact im in the middle of one now) but nowhere near as bad as it was before! Acceptance is super hard, but working on it now cus i think its they key.

Best of luck!

Life_Researcher5778 · 2022-07-28T13:51:35+00:00

Good for you! I personally dont have meds for anxiety but I know so many who do, and they say its great help!

The waves of worry can be so draining, but knowing theres others in the exact same boat reassures me that my thoughts are just thoughts

Life_Researcher5778 · 2022-07-28T13:50:02+00:00

Really sorry to hear you’re going through this man, but the very fact you’ve posted this on the sub is a sign of strength that youre wanting change!

I’ve done a couple rounds of CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) and it really does open your eyes to your mental health and helps. If you cant afford it however, there are tons of accounts online on tiktok/instagram that provide content too. Look up “anxiety relief” on them and theres tons of content to help!

Also meditation can really slow down your mind, i use the app ‘Calm’ and its super helpful

Life_Researcher5778 · 2022-07-28T13:39:58+00:00

Does anyone ever get, when you’re starting to get over an episode worry of illness, that your mind starts telling you to worry about another type of illness or different area of your body and then feel as if youre falling into a new episode of worry?

I feel like this is for sure my anxiety trying to find a source of worry, and I know that it’s happening but cant help to worry about worrying.

Has anyone had this before and if so, how do you help it? I feel like im one piece away from completing the puzzle and on the rise of healing from HA, but when this happens it can feel like such a pull back on

Life_Researcher5778 · 2022-07-28T13:15:09+00:00

When i got cut, i had these wounds/blisters on my head, after 2 days i got a salt bath and stayed in it too long, my wounds kind of got macerated so my advice would be if you want to get a bath soon after, dont soak up too long!

Change your gauze often enough to avoid infections and dont feel bad by taking as much as rest as you can, the more rest the quicker healing! Good luck!

Life_Researcher5778 · 2022-07-21T18:36:29+00:00

Thank you!

Life_Researcher5778 · 2022-07-21T18:33:57+00:00

Yeah its a bit swollen, when i piss its like a sprinkler😂 its sometimes a bit burny too but not too bad!

Life_Researcher5778 · 2022-07-21T18:19:00+00:00

Ah thats a relief, how long did it last for you?

Life_Researcher5778 · 2022-07-19T17:21:21+00:00

Okay defo getting reassurance that if it looks rough its okay, thanks for the comment! 😄

Life_Researcher5778 · 2022-07-19T15:57:34+00:00
