Maybe im overthinking

I know we can’t get medical advice here but I don’t like wasting my doctors time especially with being always there for mh etc

Some will be aware after blood tests I was told I’m anemic and was put on folic acid and iron tablets however I think I’m reacting to the folic acid.

I keep throwing up fully or in my mouth daily and my tongue has been really tingling and I’m getting really bad violent headaches and random drops in strength. I want to speak to my doctor about it but maybe I’m overthinking and being dramatic as I think I may have a bit of health anxiety at times as something small medical happens and alarm goes off in my head thinking something bad is happening 🫠

if its worrying you then it matters! you wont be bothering the drs bc theyre there to listen and help you. you arent being dramatic your symptoms and physical wellbeing matters. there is always 111 you could reach out to if its needing looking at rn but pls reach out to your gp. we are listening rose you matter so much

@Rose113 , I'm repeating the advice you gave me, do reach out that's a lot if symptoms your experiencing in dailt basis after being on those tablets so yes it could well be something

It’s not a waste of doctors time!
It’s probably best to ask the doctors just to make sure everything is ok but I’m sure you’ll be fine

like the others have said, do reach out and contact your doctors if you need to. they are there to support you and give their advice and stuff no matter how big or small the issue may feel/seem. it's always better to be safe than sorry - especially when it comes to your health

fingers crossed it can be an easy fix and they can help you with your symptoms/side effects

hey @Rose113 🙂

i know plenty of others have also suggested that you should reach out to a medical professional if you have any concerns which i fully agree with! i promise you’re not bothering them or anything by raising concerns - it’s so much better to raise the concerns and discover there isn’t a problem than there being a problem that worsens as you don’t want to bother your gp.

i totally get that feeling though, worrying that you’re just bothering them, but how you feel is valid so pls do reach out!
