my question is does anyone get patchy goosebump all over there body ? I’ve spoken to my dr and she said it’s just a side effect of my medication but the people at the chemist have said otherwise, please if anyone know help me it’s triggered bad panic attacks and happen multiple times a day

thanks

Hi KK7,

Im sorry that you suffer with health anxiety.

A doctor is best suited to answer this …….

Im aware with health anxiety that we sometimes look for re assurance when we are going through this.

Im sorry you are having panic attacks.

When you are having these thoughts can you put your attention on something in the present moment?

Please go back to your gp and discuss your symptoms and health anxiety if you feel it’s getting worse and distressing you.

Kind thoughts to you.

Hello,

thank you for your comment I have spoken to my doctor about the goose bump/ prickle sensation all she replied was “don’t know sorry” and charged me $60 said it’s the anxiety medication I’m on. And she won’t investigate it more

I’m sorry to hear that KK7, you can go to a different GP for a second opinion if you want to.
