Stress and physical illness

Take5

Does anyone have a theory on the connection between mental health and stress/anxiety and actual physical illness or health issues?

Up until 3 years ago I had escaped illness and have made up for that since. I just wanted to say the following diagnosis was given but an actual cause or underlying reason has baffled doctors and consultants as no cause was found.

I have had many many scans and been hospitalised 4 or 5 times in the last 2 years, my last attack was 8 months ago which is good when it was usually 2-3 months apart. 

I was diagnosed with Hydronephrosis which is an inflammatory condition of the kidneys where they do not drain normally sometimes, this causes chronic pain and each time has resulted in being admitted to hospital via ambulance. I am otherwise fit and healthy with all my vitals in order.

This may not be relevant but I have been free from pain since being on antidepressants, are they connected or are they not who knows.

I just wondered if anyone has experienced anything similar or am I overthinking things and coming to crazy conclusions?

Thank you for reading

  • Thank you everyone for your feedback. It’s much appreciated and I truly mean that. I have suspected for quite sometime that stress is causing these health issues. Doctors don’t l seem to like the suggestion of it mind. 
    Paloma you mention bio feedback scans, are they available on the NHS or privately? I would be very interested to explore that. 
    I plan to do a cortisol flush under the watchful eye of my sister as she is a life coach and has offered to help, she is also very much into spiritual healing and diet as well.
