At the beginning of the year I have some sort of stomach infection and went to the doctor and I started losing consciousness and then my hands went very rigid and stiff and painful , my temperature was very high and I had to stay in because I was so tachycardic . At the hospital they couldn ' t find anything although after a poop test they found a stomach infection a week later and the dr asked if I had anxiety problems and that could be the cause . I have significant mental health problems and anxiety but I was still totally shocked that this was a severe anxiety attack on top of the infection . At first I couldn ' t believe it and was offended at the idea , but I suppose now that it ' s definitely possible . I didn ' t even feel anxious though ! Later I got antibiotics too and felt better . I suppose I was a bit annoyed they put it all down to anxiety when I had a pretty serious stomach infection which they didn ' t check for
