Ive suffered migraines since I was a teenager but went years and years without anything happening,then last year I had an awful one that ended up with me being admitted to hospital over night. At the time, people said to be "ah it could be stress". I had not long qualified from Uni and gone into a stressful profession but genuinely did not feel stressed so brushed it off. Ive had a one or two since but none so bad and seem to be able to take myself to bed and sleep it off before it develops too severely. So, then in the new year I started suffering with my hair falling out, had a couple of bald patches and seemed to be shedding regularly
this time the Dr told me it was "classic alopecia" and told me it could be related to stress. Following this, I DID become really worked up and tearful at times because I was obviously worried about it all falling out. However, I felt this was a symptom rather than the cause. I wasnt sure if it was because of my pill/hormones, but the GP said it was very unlikely and just put it down to stress, he signed me off work for two weeks but I (stupidly) didnt take the time off as I was in the middle of changing jobs and didnt think two weeks off stress related symptoms would look particularly good! 
Besides, again I wasnt stressed! So, the last few months have been ok, hairs started growing back now. But over the last couple of weeks when im in bed at night ive started getting awful back pain and chest pain. To the point I cant breathe properly. Ive researched on the internet and obviously back pain can be put down to many causes but one thing that came up was stress/anxiety can cause physical pains and symptoms. Sorry for waffling but I guess what Im asking is...All this time I genuinely havnt felt over anxious or stressed (except when my hair started falling out) but people keep telling me it is all connected. Could all these symptoms be signs of something and connected or are they just coincidence? Last night was so bad, I didnt get a wink of sleep and havnt been able to go work today Not really sure where im going with this. From reading the posts on here, people seem to really suffer but I feel like abit of a fraud, I feel fine but keep having these episodes and not sure how to explain them!! Again sorry for long post, just wondering if anyone has heard or been through similar as its starting to get to me now. Thanks for reading x
