Suggest treatment for anxiety and headache
human
In 8th grade, I was having trouble breathing and my mom said I had anxiety. At the end of 9th grade I had a throbbing pain in my left arm and I thought maybe I had poor circulation, because that would also explain why my hands and feet are always cold. This summer, I have started to have chest pains. I always have a slight pressure there and every now and then a sharp shooting pain. I get shooting pains in my head, but before I thought they were "Ice Pick" headaches. My mom looked it up and Anemia came up. I don't take my vitamins and I get hot all of sudden and feel weak. My mom looked it up more and asked me questions and she said I have Vitamim B and Iron anemia. The pains in my chest seem to be getting worse and breathing has become worse, too. Yet, my mom says she has crappy credit and no insurance so I can't go to the doctor just yet. But now since I have been complaining about it for so long she thinks I'm a hypochondriac and it's all in my head. I looked that up, and they share the same symptoms. I don't know what to believe. I can't go to the doctor so they can run tests, but how do you tell if it is anemia or hypochondriac? I don't exactly have a question, I just thought maybe you could help me out. I have more than just those symptoms, but I just said the ones that were bothering me.

DearWe understand your concernsI went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I can understand the state you are in. Your mother should know you better. It is difficult to diagnose your problem from the given details. Several pathological tests are necessary. But, for me it seems like hypochondriasis. You are anxious about your health. Anxiety triggers acidity and acidity pushes your diaphragm upwards and constricts chest area. Then you get pain or tightness across chest area. That is one way of describing it. But to be sure, you should consult a physician.Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL.  Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.Good luck.
