I’ve made a habit of watching your videos whenever I have the urge to google my symptoms, and they have helped me so much. I’m so grateful that you share your story with us. Very comforting to know none of us are alone with what we are experiencing.
Anxiety is crazy! I have been watching cherelle for a while now because for about two years I have had health anxiety with all kinds of symptoms. I’ve thought headaches were a brain tumor, I’ve thought acid reflux was something serious, and now I have these little red spots under my chin and right away I thought it was leukemia and while I tried not to think it was serious right away, I never thought it might be my anxiety until I found this video! It’s crazy! Thanks so much for sharing your experiences Cherelle! I will do my best to stay calm about it until possible further action needs to be taken if that’s the case! (But most likely another anxiety symptom which is a relief)
Hi Cherelle, my nan had leukaemia and did not have petechiae so it just goes to show that when we look online, see the symptoms and think the worst, often people who have the illness do not actually have those symptoms. Hopefully that's reassuring for some people. I also get petechiae when I've had a hot shower/bath and scratch a bit too hard. Interestingly, they show up more on places where my skin has stretched or thinned (e.g. on my boobs or legs). It can be related to low iron levels as well. Hope you are doing well and thank you for your consistent support here on YT xx
Yes I recently tore two tendons in my ankle and amazingly enough even though my foot was the size of a grapefruit in my ankle area I didn't. But if I sat down I wouldn't have been able to get up again so I would stand in the hot bath water as hot as I could get it. And sure enough I got petechiae on both of my feet.. but the hot water helped so much with pain.. that I didn't care.. and now I'll often just go stand in a hot bath tub with water.. petechiae can just come like hello stranger ur back lol
Wow. We have the same reason for having a red spots when i scratch my arms too and neck too hard i got to get a red spots, felt relieved knowing i know the same person that has same reason like mine.
In the past 5 months I have been crippled with extreme anxiety due to my relationship ending. I was drinking everyday, not eating, over working myself. I lost weight like crazy. No appetite, couldn’t sleep, muscle and joint pain. Then I started becoming weak, anxious, constant panic attacks and tremors, fast heart rate, sweating constantly. I am already a hypochondriac to begin with so any noticeable change with my body….I am automatically on top of it. These red spots started to appear on my fingertips as of 4 days ago. They are a bit painful to the touch and I’ve noticed them starting to appear on other fingertips. I googled. I got so scared. The reason this video calmed me down is because you mentioned your body was as such high stress levels, it could have easily been brought in by itself. As a result of my hectic personal life lately, I am sure this is what’s going on. Thank you so much 🙏
Thank you for this video. For 6 months 3 months ago I was walking around in a state thinking I had lukieima as I was brusing easy and had randim blood spots only on my arms. I realized that they only seem to happen when I'd scratch. And I realized the brusing only happend on my legs if my dog jumped up on me. Heath anxiety is no joke.
You just described perfectly on what happened to me on today. I noticed my blood spots a day ago, but today what brought my attention was that I started scratching and a couple of mins later or so a bruised developed and it hurt when touched. So I freaked out, googled my symptom. health anxiety spiked up and now I'm worried!
@@wendyalvarado6138 my dog jumped on me yesterday a lot and I woke up with these blood spots red/ purple this morning and my anxiety went through the roof. Glad I found this comment hopefully I’m okay
I experienced a similar rash to what you're describing (it only appeared on my legs when I was about 7 or 8 years old. From a distance, it like a bruise on my shin. Eventually faded away over the years, save for a select few here and there which still remain today. I think you might actually be onto something with your idea of stress somehow being related. I'm currently experiencing symptoms which can only really point to some form of vasculitis,but no diagnostics have been sought as of yet. (Ignorance is bliss, they say. I'm honestly just avoiding having to face what life has thrown at me this year. But what if I tried to make lifestyle changes that potentially could dramatically lower my stress levels and basically uplift and improve my entire current paradigm? Could I hopefully help heal myself, instead of settling for a lifetime of pill-popping, side effects, etc. Anyhow,my point is, thank you for sharing your story! I find this notion that you've brought up quite inspiring! Wish me luck!!!! *hearts*
I scratch my skin because the red ants bit me, when i look at my arms seconds later i saw tiny red spots on my skin. Its a good thing you made this kind of video for someone like me or us in this comment section to find some what comfort. Knowing maybe this red spots isn't the thing we think it is. Thank you for this. Made my anxiety go away and gives me comfort. ❤Thank you!
I'm glad I found this, I'm having these blood spots just appearing in my arms and chest and I'm having anxiety because I just saw it's a symptom of leukemia.
Literally same. They’re on my upper arms and some on my chest. I have severe hypochondria and have entirely convinced myself it’s leukemia. This video has calmed me down immensely.
I get them a lot! I went to the doctor and she didn't even know what they were!!! It was horrible, she had to look them up and then told me I didn't have them (I KNOW I did, I even did the glass test). I'm not saying I'm better qualified but this was a different doctor than my regular one (who is an angel) and she just was not good for my situation. Anyways so I went to A and E because of these petechiae and they told me I didn't have them (again, I KNOW I DID!!!). Anyways that was almost 2 years ago now and I still get them. I eventually got over it when my regular doctor did a blood test and said they're harmless. They don't scare me so much now but I have a few theories: low vitamin c, antidepressants or sheer anxiety. Now I think maybe I had the same situation as you. It is so scary but so fascinating...
Something similar. Let me share my story. I had this petechia not that serious it was on my legs and arms. I also first thought that I had leukemia but after I went to doctor and had a blood test all was totally normal except my hgb. Also I was very active no fever no diarrhea or anything. . Then I was releaved that i don't have cancer. The doctor gave my 21 days medicinss and it was all gone. Bout soon after 2 days again I got all that back it was not so much like earlier then I thought if my haemoglobin is low so maybe I have aplastic anaemia. But I don't have other symptoms of aplastic anemia. The doctor gave me the same medicine again. So I m taking. Hope so it will go away again and never come back. Thanks sm for sharing your video atleast I got something relatable. I will definitely update again after it goes. Advice never see your symptoms on google you will always get cancer only.
When I was at the height of my anxiety after my breakdown I became covered in these red spots over my chest and a few on my stomach..they freaked me out to be honest. This was at a time when I was quite poorly with my mental health. They then miraculously disappeared when I didn't give e them any more attention in my head and also as I got on the road to better physical and mental health. ❤
@@SakshiSinghO811 I had this strange rash. I would show it to you if I could attach a photo. I also had pain in the area of my liver and pancreas. Medical test were out of range and an alternative wellness practitioner did a probability test that indicated liver flukes were present. Not surprising because I eat a lot of raw fish.
When I had postpartum anxiety disorder, I noticed red dots everywhere and I thought I had something terminal, I was always sick and my white blood cell count was low and something else too and the doctor actually said “that’s not normal to have a cold every other month”.... even though my toddler back then was bringing back all kinds of bugs from day care. I was terrified. Then I noticed my father in law had it all over his skin and I asked him, he said he had it for years, they are like age spots. Back then I had postpartum anxiety so any of my fears were exaggerated physically, I was literally jumping out of skin. When I calmed down and healed my spots were still there and still there mostly after 7 years but I am no longer scared of them. Knowledge and better health helped. I also wonder which one came first, the anxiety disorder or being anxious about health, or it multiplies each other. I think we just have generalized anxiety disorder, I don’t remember being so scared for my health when I was younger. Other symptoms I had before was months of diarrhea, and of course months of twitching, which is why I found your channel. Thanks for everything
Hi im currently pregnant and experiencing this including twitches everywhere.. did pregnancy make them worst for u? Would really appreciate your feedback
wow I'm experiencing this but i had what it seem was bit marks /hives only on my arms then bruises after I'm 6 months pp and this started when i was 5 months pp and i still see the marks i also use to have health anxiety !
I am so glad I found this video. I have an appt on September 9th because I’ve noticed way more petechiae lately and have convinced myself it’s leukemia. I know I have SEVERE hypochondria and nearly crippling anxiety. This is so, so comforting. Thank you for making this video. And reading these comments makes me feel like I’m not alone.
I am experiencing this too! Like I have many blood spots in my legs and my bones are aching and I also have bruises but when I visited doctor he said that it was an allergy but until now I am still terrified because of my health anxiety.
Same here im having these petechiae spots appearing suddenly i suffer weight loss and i dont know what i have in my body im so anxious i dont want to go to doctor asap hays because im aftaid iM having blood cancer :( im so scared to death
@@cherellethinks Ur a Anxiety saver google said it was leukemia viruses infections and I was like having chills always when googling thanks to u I calmed down and went to hardees
thank you for the video. i've had red rashes on my face after vomiting because of a heartburn. i searched on google and convinced myself that it is indeed petechiae because vomiting can also cause it to appear. but still im anxious. my mom said it's common and will dissapear after few days. but i can't stop thinking about it 😭😭😭 i'm really reallyyyy worry and anxioussssss aaaAaaAAAAAaa
It’s long COVID. I got those, and edema in my legs akin to veinous insufficiency following a very mild case of covid that would have been undetectable if my husband hadn’t gotten much sicker. They are finding that long COVID is attributed to vascular inflammation, and petechia are capillary hemorrhages in the skin. So, very vascular. It is the monocytes that are supposedly involved in this inflammatory condition as well. Our white blood cells. The mental health symptoms can be associated with the blood vessels being inflamed in our brain, or the immune cells causing inflammation locally. Same with the other long haul symptoms.
My son & I have these. He use to have fainting spells (syncope) but hasn't in years, I've had these spots since 2012 as of the last month I've gotten more along with bone pain & cold electric shock feelings in my limbs & face. Everytime we both have had blood tests nothing comes back abnormal.
OMG hi! Can you please answer my question, I've got small red dots on my cheeks, neck and some on my arms I'm scared and it's been 3 days when they appeared, does they naturally go away? Pls pls answer meeee
Hi. I appreciate the video I don't know if I have this or not but I do have blood spots on my hands that's concerning me. I wish you could have shown on the video the spots you have so I can know what they look like.
Ive had pethekia since I was little. It was super terrible when I was super little, I would lean up against a table and have it all over my stomache. My mom finally notices and took me to the doctor. The doctor told me to get blood tests for leukemia. I got blood tests every week for a long time and was missing a lot of days of school from testing. I felt fine and that was my only symptom. I found out I had a disorder called itp it causes low blood cell counts and more bleeding everywhere. So if i got a cut I would bleed more then we the people. I still have pethekia and it does act up more when im anxious.
I’ve had these for years. Everywhere on my body arms, legs, face, stomach you name it. Sometimes I will have a lot and other days just a few, sometimes will have them clustered together or isolated. I’ve gotten blood tests and nothing so far has been diagnosed. Tbh if I have gone this long without major symptoms and haven’t died yet I should be alright!
I cant believe i finally found the specific video that ive been trying to, i have these weird red spots lately and just convinced myself that i have leukemia 😭😭
@@slipperysnake9410 for me them appeared overnight i think was scratching myself during the night because of a bug bite but after 1 day even the bug bite is still there around it there are little red dots and bug bite id big and itchy
Hi there! I do have these petechie spots. I have had them off and on through my life. They come and go. Like you, sometimes they are from lifting, or I once got them after a bad sunburn on my legs. This last time was about a week or so ago. I thought it was because I applied so much lotion, then powder, then calamine lotion, and I thought maybe I irritated my leg pores. The petechie were mostly on the lower legs. Anyways, I went to my GP last Thursday and she said they were from standing or using my treadmill. They are capallaritis. But then she said the rash looked like a heat rash, not petechiae and called it dermatitis. I, too, like you were concerned about leukemia or a lymphoma rash. She ruled that out. So yesterday I went to a board-certified dermatologist. I explained to her how after exercising a couple days later I noticed, after applying the cream, the powder, The lotion etc. that I got this terrible petechiae rash. She looked at it and called it.Capallaritis. She said it can be brought on from exercise, overheated, or it can just be a thing. She did not want to biopsy it, and did not seem concerned. She did not say it was dermatitis like my GP did. But they both mentioned the small breakage under the skin, causing the red spots. I don’t have any other symptoms, but this is caused great stress. I too like you, I am a very anxious and nervous person that sometimes gets overly stressed out. I’m not sure if I brought it on myself because I’m usually stressed out every day. Lol but it was just weird how it cropped up I have a physical with my GP at the end of this month, and I might mention to her about doing some blood test.thanks for sharing Mary
@theakharizza2693 Thank you for asking. It cleared up . I guess after asking 5 doctors (2 dermatologist ) it’s just something people get. It can be from heavy excise, lifting, friction, sunburn and injury. I am 66 so my skin is thinned out… unfortunately, so I guess that can attribute to it too. Like I mentioned, I have seen tiny petechie spots most of my adult life. The doctors all seem to call it capallaritis, or just breaks under the skin that leak I hope your daughter’s is better now.
For me I get post vomiting or post coughing petechiae on my face only. If I cough so hard or vomit in a bad position leaning down. Also if I put my face down trying to make some yoga. These are all physical petechiae ! It's a really weird condition that even doctors get confused with. Health is a precious thing that we should protect away from stress & anxiety!
I have them also since I was a kid I think but I’ve been thru so much stress and anxiety lately that I’m starting to noticing them more and freaks me out everytime I see them …
My daughter have petechaie for nearly 2 years now on and off. It mostly appears on her neck sometimes on her back, legs, ankles and knees. Sometimes it develops into purpura. We did Vitamin C and D tests all came back normal. We did cbc like almost 30 times for 2 years now all came back normal. We also tested for Lupus came back negative thanked God. She had on and off fever last year. very vulnerable to respirarory infections lately. Strep throat for the past months come and go as well. She is not like this at all when she was younger and the doctors does not have any diagnosis on her yet. I am very stressed out.
Most definitely. I saw some on my arm one day and started FREAKING OUT. didn’t even know it was a symptom of leukemia until I went to Google and Google told me. i started freaking out, and HA took over. I then got over the fear due to another issue that triggered my HA and yeah. I still get them from time to time
@@iamred3667 Same. I starting getting many of them yesterday and earlier after a 2 hours standing in a thing ( cause I applying a paint on my wall ). I notice earlier while bathing that I have a like an blood cloth beneath the skin that look like bruises, and 5 petechiae in my legs and many of look likes rashes om my feet. I'm so worried about it, and plan now to have a blood test tomorrow. I don't know if it's normal or not, but I starting getting them since I'm in 6th grade, and not experiencing other symptoms.
Mine flares up on my arms but then slowly fades away, I also heard if it was lekiuma it would stay until treated so that’s a way I try to calm down. My blood work has came back good so I’m guessing there caused from anxiety attacks
I woke up the other morning with pain behind my kidney, felt sickly , faint , and my husband picked me off the floor and took me to the ER. The doctor thought i had a kidney stone and passed it, but you don't get a petechiae rash on your face , even blood spots on my eye balls. I also was exposed to covid so I don't know what is going on with this. Very concerned.
I noticed the tiny specks on my arm a couple of months ago, and it seems to have been coming and going. It’s only really been on my right arm, with only a few on my left. Today I noticed it again but it’s much more red and flared as they are appearing in clusters as well as forming lines. I have daily stress and anxiety, but also low energy. Sometimes my extremities get cold when the rest of my body is fine. So I’m really scared. I don’t have insurance right now thanks to by abusive ex, so I can’t even see a doctor or get tested until who knows when.
I had lots of petechiae on my buttocks a few years ago. I didn't worry about my health, so I thought it would be a good idea to watch them and go to the doctor only if they didn't disappear. My theory is that they were from straining, as I was constipated back then. 😂 I always have some random red dots on my skin (maybe about 15/20 now on my whole body if I count them), but I don't think they're petechiae. My mum has them too, and I had bloodwork, so they're harmless.
Ok but mine don’t go away. I get a new one and it stays. I bruise very very easily. Lightly poke me and there will be a bruise the next morning. And I have mild folliculitis on my arms which I didn’t know is apparently another symptom of leukemia. I also have fainting spells that I can feel coming on. But I have for many years. So now I’m just a walking ball of anxiety.
I too feel like getting them whenever I look for them. Was looking at my leg the other day and there were none, looked again shortly after and there were a few🤔
i had them on my chest when i had a cold. i was obviously coughing hard and a lot. i thought i was internally bleeding. since then they have gone. i couldve easily just popped a blood vessel or something but i was really scared xx
Pietechia always comes in cluster it look like rash and fades away with time If it don't fade away then it is cherry angiomas benign so it is nothing worrying Petechia can come if you have allergy reaction or have hot water bath or scratch too hard 🙂
@@wendyalvarado6138 me too, my boyfriend is like baby your booty has cherries on top .. and I thought it was a joke then I look down at my arms and it’s on my arms and I’m like panicking and he’s like “the cherries are on your arm now babe” then it made sense but I definitely had an allergic reaction.. decided to pop adderall for fun .. never again 😑
I literally have these things in my toes and 2 in my fingers. I fear it was leukemia then blitz to google and realized I have this pain in he back of my neck and got anxious thinking it was meningitis but it doesn't just make sense that I don't have fever or headache or nausea. But it freaks me out in the meningitis thing though cuz I still experience neck pain, dreadness, somewhat loss of appetite.
I recently joined volleyball and I developed these little red blood spots. I have practice everyday and yesterday was barely my first day. I’m worried that if I keep using my hands bumping the ball it will get worse. Is this true??
I have these all over my body and didn’t know why after a lil investigation it took me 5 yrs to find out the cause was from mold exposure made my skin look horrible til this day 😢
@@vibhoarbajaj9730 I almost had them for a year now, since I start noticing at 6th grade that I getting those. But now, it starting to spread and appear many than before. So I plan to get blood test tomorrow so I'm not always freakin out for my health status, lol.
I have the same thing going on with now from continued stress anxiety depression I blame the world today. Everything is way too fast too expensive that's why everyone is losing it
Funny thing for me is in the beginning of 2021 or so. I kept getting these random 2-day fevers about 3 to 5 times in the first three or four months of 2021 and it went away for a long time and then just recently I have been getting fevers low grade always and some kind of joint pain and bone pain though very mild and it mainly happens on the weekends for a couple days and I generally don't feel very well kind of tired and run out. And then it clears out for 5 days or so. It has happened this weekend and last weekend and before last weekend. I had it a month before that and then a month before that or so. Though I don't think I have any petechiae I only really ever get those little rash things after I take a hot shower on my legs. No, the past couple weeks I have noticed I got these low grade fevers like a day after. I have binged on a lot of junk food and sugar. And the fever is usually come from like 10:00 a.m. and onward. I'm wondering if it's some kind of autoimmune response to anxiety like what you had.
I got tiny tiny red spots on my arms and neck after a very bad panic attack which caused a depersonalization in 2021. Anyway I was scared of these spots 1st,been to derm he said I was fine. I panicked over them for a long time. They also disappear when pressed on. It's been more than a year and nothing has happened. They're still there and harmless 😅 I asked people and some had them too
Hi can I ask do you still have them do they go and come back? my daughter has it for 8months on and off now..all bloodworks came back normal so far..thanked God.
I have it at the moment, started appearing last saturday april 17 till present and i have to go see a doctor tomorrow about this and hoping that its not a bad news hope to god
Are these tiny tiny pin point red dots? Like you would have to look really close to see them? I saw some on my arms about two months ago and now I've seen some on my legs. I've had bad anxiety for at least 7 months just generally, it's got worse and then I googled what it means and it's really scared me. It's prob been about 3 months since I've noticed them. I am looking for them almost everyday though. Because it scared me otherwise I never check my body
Appeared on my right back hand, that’s all. Don’t know what I’m going through but so far I feel fine, it’s just tiny red dots on my hand but it’s not doing anything to me, I don’t feel pain as well. Ya’ll are good, stay safe.
@@klaxp9908 hey it’s okay! i’m going to get a blood test sometime next month just to be sure i’m okay. chances are, if you feel physically fine, then you’re not in any great danger. it could be something as small as a vitamin deficiency. i’ll let you know my results though!!!
I have several petechiae on my legs for about ~12 year. My blood got checked at least 20 times since then and I am perfectly fine. My docs says it comes from dull razors. But nevertheless, petechiaes CAN be a warning sign. But for diseases than can be ruled out easily by a blood test
Hello. I deal with health anxiety pretty bad. This stems from me having a fibroid on my ovaries and before I found out it wasn’t cancer I thought the worst and thought it was cancer. I noticed three weeks ago I had a small blood spot on my arm near where you get blood drawn. It went away but now I noticed I have another one in the same area. I am in a panic. I have been very stressed out lately and I’ve had a ton of anxiety. Weather it is related I don’t know. I don’t like to get my blood drawn because I’m so afraid of my results coming back bad. I worry too much. I do meditate a lot and I try to not overthink but it comes on it’s own. Any other advice you can help me with would be great.
@@saummyatelange4432 right now my anxiety is not that bad but before 2 or 3 months ago i was convinced that i had a brain tumour just because i had a headache for 3 or 4 days. and i was googling all the time but it never came back again. do you know dennis simsek he is a youtuber too he has podcasts about anxiety, health anx. and you should check out his videos and podcasts they helped a lot❤️
i have tons of petechiae on my legs, and my doctor confirmed it. got a blood test and it came back normal. so I'm still exploring what's causing them. but anyways, perfect timing for this video too!! no one ever talks about this symptom
I get them from scratching! I have super dry skin so when I repeatedly scratch one area really hard (especially areas where the skin is thin like on my breasts or upper arms) they appear for a couple days.
i always notice them from taking steaming hot showers i’ve had thennn for almost 4 years, i just figured it is cancer i would have had more symptoms by now... right
I just recently found out yesterday I have them, was curious searched it up. Started panicking thinking what if it's leukemia and this were it lead me to.
Is this normal? I usually see most of the Petechiae on my feet and ankle when I go outside in the sun, I don’t get them on my upper body at all but these past days I’ve been worried to death about this stuff and worrying about what would happen to me. They usually fade a little when i’m inside for a few hours but when i go in a hot shower I get them again?
Whew lord yes!!! They stay on my feet I don't often sit in the tub because of my anxiety (I've never passed out once) but feel like if I sit in a tub that's when I will and then I'll drown, but like I know I could pass out standing up and still drown but that don't bother me.... So they don't go higher up my leg than the water, and I know it's the water and the heat, my feet look like 🍅 tomatoes red when I come out from heat.. but I still dream the worse my doc checked all my blood and told me either stop taking hot baths or wear socks so u don't see ur feet .. but I still feel like there's more to it
@@jenniferevan678 Don’t worry about it too much! your doctor checked your blood and blood test are pretty accurate so I’m sure you are fine 👍🏽 I don’t look down at my feet a lot now and I honestly think it helps to not stare at it, I heard a lot of people get them from heat too!
I went to my GP today regarding my bruises which keep appearing out of nowhere. She asked me about any spots or rashes and I showed her my, as I thought, blood spots on hands, but she said that they are harmless. Also, she didn't see my bruises as too sinister, but I still need to have blood tests done. She mentioned trombo-something that may be the cause, but I hope it won't be the case. I was so afraid to go to the doctor and I will definitely be freaking out when I get my blood tests' results, but I felt such a relief today. I went to the doc, I need to end this endless worrying. You are a great inspiration for me, Cherelle!
I had these ocasionaly but one time extremly big spot of them appeared on my face. It was purple and it looked exactly like a lukemia purple rash, even my dad, a doctor was scared at first, but then he asked about when they appeared and it turned out, it was a extreme case of contact dermatitits 😂
These red spot started appearing on my fingetips, saw the doctor today and they took some blood to check my blood. I'm waiting for the results. This videos helped me ALOT to calm down.
@@meganweatherill sorry, I just saw your comment now. Yes, thankfully there was nothing so off with it, and the dots disappeared now after two months. The test is called CPC.
I got petechaie like 2 monthes ago and it healed really fast like less than 2 days ago but that doesn’t stop me for panicking 😭I was scratching myself so hard and then the next day I got it and it was sorta itchy ngl
So I'm getting these little red spots right now on my hands, I teach tennis in a very warm climate so I'm outside in the sun all the time. I'm pretty sure it's Petechiae or some kind of Purpula. It's just on my hands, they come and go, and no symptoms whatsoever, just very strange looking. I've started wearing compression sleeves when I'm outside and they seem to be helping, so I think it's just sun related.
Hi valeria, did it stop coming or did u get to know why was it happening... I too am getting bruises on my thighs or knee aometimes, they just come and gp away on their own but happens frequently... plz help
So I've actually just gotten my blood drawn today. This was following an increase in Petechiae during the past 3 weeks (I've had them about a year now), ~3 years of unusual fatigue (in my 20s), and bonus: swollen lymphatic areas. Currently waiting on results, but it is nice to see so many folks in the comments have experience with these spots without serious issue.
@@Cannibal.Stabbing.Menace Platelet and RBC were all good, with slightly abnormal WBC (expected and consistent with the unusual lymphatic swelling with no obvious causes). WBC differential was normal (abnormal example might be immature/deformed cells present in blood released too early from the marrow) Essentially I've just got to wait for things to worsen to go in for more testing. They're considering a thyroid issue and just gave me a list of things to watch for. My results just generated all around confusion and we won't have ideas for much else to test for until things get ugly
I hav the same issue i got these red dots especially on legs around the ankle and i hav swollen lymph nodes under my chin😭😭 symptoms of leukemia i think i'm dying and iam too scared to do a test and find ou the truth
Ive found 3 lines of red spots on my left arms but they arent itchy. They come and go...i went to google & the results just heightened my health anxiety then i saw ur comment & i felt abit relieved? Bcs i think ive found a probable cause. I sleep on my left side due to gerd & also ive been checking my blood pressure frequently. This makes me think is putting pressure the cause of my red spots?? Im afraid to see a doctor bcs it's covid outside
I have those blood spots lately too but I do have an autoimmune disease. It causes severe anxiety too hence the constant panic. To be diagnosed, my blood tests came back normal however my MRI showed up that I had a nodule on my thyroid which is stopping it from working properly so it's not always the blood tests that will catch the autoimmune disease. Not in my experience anyways zz
I totally understand. I have severe hypochondria and even after every ER visit or doctor visit, I’m convinced they missed something and find a new diagnosis that I end up going back in for them to check.
I’ve made a habit of watching your videos whenever I have the urge to google my symptoms, and they have helped me so much. I’m so grateful that you share your story with us. Very comforting to know none of us are alone with what we are experiencing.
Anxiety is crazy! I have been watching cherelle for a while now because for about two years I have had health anxiety with all kinds of symptoms. I’ve thought headaches were a brain tumor, I’ve thought acid reflux was something serious, and now I have these little red spots under my chin and right away I thought it was leukemia and while I tried not to think it was serious right away, I never thought it might be my anxiety until I found this video! It’s crazy! Thanks so much for sharing your experiences Cherelle! I will do my best to stay calm about it until possible further action needs to be taken if that’s the case! (But most likely another anxiety symptom which is a relief)
Extremely difficult for me.
hi same 😭i have been freaking out since a week over my petechiae thinking it's leukemia even if my cbc done a month ago was completely normall
YOU CALMED ME DOWN 😭😭😭
Thanks for this video.
Thank you so much Cherelle. You may not realise how many people you help with all of your videos ❤️
Thank you so much for this video! It helped a lot to hear that these tiny red spots could be caused by something simple like stress. Thanks again!🌻
I swear you can read my mind. You always seem to upload videos about the latest thing I'm panicking about ❤
Hi Cherelle, my nan had leukaemia and did not have petechiae so it just goes to show that when we look online, see the symptoms and think the worst, often people who have the illness do not actually have those symptoms. Hopefully that's reassuring for some people. I also get petechiae when I've had a hot shower/bath and scratch a bit too hard. Interestingly, they show up more on places where my skin has stretched or thinned (e.g. on my boobs or legs). It can be related to low iron levels as well. Hope you are doing well and thank you for your consistent support here on YT xx
Yes I recently tore two tendons in my ankle and amazingly enough even though my foot was the size of a grapefruit in my ankle area I didn't. But if I sat down I wouldn't have been able to get up again so I would stand in the hot bath water as hot as I could get it. And sure enough I got petechiae on both of my feet.. but the hot water helped so much with pain.. that I didn't care.. and now I'll often just go stand in a hot bath tub with water.. petechiae can just come like hello stranger ur back lol
Thanks for this comment
being smart helps too, and not letting your emotions take off first.
Wow. We have the same reason for having a red spots when i scratch my arms too and neck too hard i got to get a red spots, felt relieved knowing i know the same person that has same reason like mine.
Your videos are amazing by the way and have really helped me on my health anxiety journey.
In the past 5 months I have been crippled with extreme anxiety due to my relationship ending. I was drinking everyday, not eating, over working myself. I lost weight like crazy. No appetite, couldn’t sleep, muscle and joint pain. Then I started becoming weak, anxious, constant panic attacks and tremors, fast heart rate, sweating constantly. I am already a hypochondriac to begin with so any noticeable change with my body….I am automatically on top of it. These red spots started to appear on my fingertips as of 4 days ago. They are a bit painful to the touch and I’ve noticed them starting to appear on other fingertips. I googled. I got so scared. The reason this video calmed me down is because you mentioned your body was as such high stress levels, it could have easily been brought in by itself. As a result of my hectic personal life lately, I am sure this is what’s going on. Thank you so much 🙏
Petechiae is the reason my health anxiety STARTED. 10 years ago i noticed it on my leg and that was it. Googled everything since then. My God.
Are you blood counts always ok ? I have had these off and on for years
@@nbass5773do you have on and off of these too? What happened can you explain
@@nbass5773hi did you find out what was the reson of Petechiae that comes & go ?
Cheers pet I’ve got the symptoms and I’ve got anxiety. I’ve been dealing with for decades thanks for sharing.
Yes these videos are REALLY helping people (me). Thank you
Thank you for this video. For 6 months 3 months ago I was walking around in a state thinking I had lukieima as I was brusing easy and had randim blood spots only on my arms. I realized that they only seem to happen when I'd scratch. And I realized the brusing only happend on my legs if my dog jumped up on me. Heath anxiety is no joke.
You just described perfectly on what happened to me on today. I noticed my blood spots a day ago, but today what brought my attention was that I started scratching and a couple of mins later or so a bruised developed and it hurt when touched. So I freaked out, googled my symptom. health anxiety spiked up and now I'm worried!
@@wendyalvarado6138 my dog jumped on me yesterday a lot and I woke up with these blood spots red/ purple this morning and my anxiety went through the roof. Glad I found this comment hopefully I’m okay
@@drealove9351 yes, thank you so much. I used to get medical anxiety but, seems like I don’t anymore. I hope you are okay as well :)
If your dog is jumping on you, wouldn't you first just suspect bruising?😮
You’re amazing thank you 🥺❤️
I experienced a similar rash to what you're describing (it only appeared on my legs when I was about 7 or 8 years old. From a distance, it like a bruise on my shin. Eventually faded away over the years, save for a select few here and there which still remain today. I think you might actually be onto something with your idea of stress somehow being related. I'm currently experiencing symptoms which can only really point to some form of vasculitis,but no diagnostics have been sought as of yet. (Ignorance is bliss, they say. I'm honestly just avoiding having to face what life has thrown at me this year. But what if I tried to make lifestyle changes that potentially could dramatically lower my stress levels and basically uplift and improve my entire current paradigm? Could I hopefully help heal myself, instead of settling for a lifetime of pill-popping, side effects, etc.
Anyhow,my point is, thank you for sharing your story! I find this notion that you've brought up quite inspiring! Wish me luck!!!! *hearts*
I can so much relate to you. Going through same thing. Anyways how are you doing now??
I scratch my skin because the red ants bit me, when i look at my arms seconds later i saw tiny red spots on my skin. Its a good thing you made this kind of video for someone like me or us in this comment section to find some what comfort. Knowing maybe this red spots isn't the thing we think it is. Thank you for this. Made my anxiety go away and gives me comfort. ❤Thank you!
Googling these symptoms make u believe having HIV
I'm glad I found this, I'm having these blood spots just appearing in my arms and chest and I'm having anxiety because I just saw it's a symptom of leukemia.
GIRL SAME
Literally same. They’re on my upper arms and some on my chest. I have severe hypochondria and have entirely convinced myself it’s leukemia. This video has calmed me down immensely.
girl i have red spots on my chest hands and legs omgg
im screaming cause google says it could be a leukemia
@@bil69420 how did it turn out?
Thank you. :) You did a good thing making this video.
I get them a lot! I went to the doctor and she didn't even know what they were!!! It was horrible, she had to look them up and then told me I didn't have them (I KNOW I did, I even did the glass test). I'm not saying I'm better qualified but this was a different doctor than my regular one (who is an angel) and she just was not good for my situation. Anyways so I went to A and E because of these petechiae and they told me I didn't have them (again, I KNOW I DID!!!). Anyways that was almost 2 years ago now and I still get them. I eventually got over it when my regular doctor did a blood test and said they're harmless. They don't scare me so much now but I have a few theories: low vitamin c, antidepressants or sheer anxiety. Now I think maybe I had the same situation as you. It is so scary but so fascinating...
Glad to be the first view! I love you cherelle! Thank you for everything!
Something similar. Let me share my story. I had this petechia not that serious it was on my legs and arms. I also first thought that I had leukemia but after I went to doctor and had a blood test all was totally normal except my hgb. Also I was very active no fever no diarrhea or anything. . Then I was releaved that i don't have cancer. The doctor gave my 21 days medicinss and it was all gone. Bout soon after 2 days again I got all that back it was not so much like earlier then I thought if my haemoglobin is low so maybe I have aplastic anaemia. But I don't have other symptoms of aplastic anemia. The doctor gave me the same medicine again. So I m taking. Hope so it will go away again and never come back. Thanks sm for sharing your video atleast I got something relatable. I will definitely update again after it goes. Advice never see your symptoms on google you will always get cancer only.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. You’re right. We should never Google. 🫶🏽
When I was at the height of my anxiety after my breakdown I became covered in these red spots over my chest and a few on my stomach..they freaked me out to be honest. This was at a time when I was quite poorly with my mental health. They then miraculously disappeared when I didn't give e them any more attention in my head and also as I got on the road to better physical and mental health. ❤
Thank you, very reassuring. I'm getting them on my hands and arms. I have other symptoms pointing to the need for a liver cleanse.
@@SakshiSinghO811 I had this strange rash. I would show it to you if I could attach a photo. I also had pain in the area of my liver and pancreas. Medical test were out of range and an alternative wellness practitioner did a probability test that indicated liver flukes were present. Not surprising because I eat a lot of raw fish.
When I had postpartum anxiety disorder, I noticed red dots everywhere and I thought I had something terminal, I was always sick and my white blood cell count was low and something else too and the doctor actually said “that’s not normal to have a cold every other month”.... even though my toddler back then was bringing back all kinds of bugs from day care. I was terrified. Then I noticed my father in law had it all over his skin and I asked him, he said he had it for years, they are like age spots. Back then I had postpartum anxiety so any of my fears were exaggerated physically, I was literally jumping out of skin. When I calmed down and healed my spots were still there and still there mostly after 7 years but I am no longer scared of them. Knowledge and better health helped.
I also wonder which one came first, the anxiety disorder or being anxious about health, or it multiplies each other. I think we just have generalized anxiety disorder, I don’t remember being so scared for my health when I was younger.
Other symptoms I had before was months of diarrhea, and of course months of twitching, which is why I found your channel. Thanks for everything
Hi im currently pregnant and experiencing this including twitches everywhere.. did pregnancy make them worst for u? Would really appreciate your feedback
wow I'm experiencing this but i had what it seem was bit marks /hives only on my arms then bruises after I'm 6 months pp and this started when i was 5 months pp and i still see the marks i also use to have health anxiety !
I am so glad I found this video. I have an appt on September 9th because I’ve noticed way more petechiae lately and have convinced myself it’s leukemia. I know I have SEVERE hypochondria and nearly crippling anxiety. This is so, so comforting. Thank you for making this video. And reading these comments makes me feel like I’m not alone.
I am experiencing this too! Like I have many blood spots in my legs and my bones are aching and I also have bruises but when I visited doctor he said that it was an allergy but until now I am still terrified because of my health anxiety.
Nay update on unboth?

It’s long COVID. I got those, and edema in my legs akin to veinous insufficiency following a very mild case of covid that would have been undetectable if my husband hadn’t gotten much sicker. They are finding that long COVID is attributed to vascular inflammation, and petechia are capillary hemorrhages in the skin. So, very vascular. It is the monocytes that are supposedly involved in this inflammatory condition as well. Our white blood cells. The mental health symptoms can be associated with the blood vessels being inflamed in our brain, or the immune cells causing inflammation locally. Same with the other long haul symptoms.
My son & I have these. He use to have fainting spells (syncope) but hasn't in years, I've had these spots since 2012 as of the last month I've gotten more along with bone pain & cold electric shock feelings in my limbs & face. Everytime we both have had blood tests nothing comes back abnormal.
It could also be vitamin K deficiency. I experienced some of this after lots of antibiotics which depletes vitamin K
OMG hi! Can you please answer my question, I've got small red dots on my cheeks, neck and some on my arms I'm scared and it's been 3 days when they appeared, does they naturally go away? Pls pls answer meeee
Hi. I appreciate the video I don't know if I have this or not but I do have blood spots on my hands that's concerning me. I wish you could have shown on the video the spots you have so I can know what they look like.
Ive had pethekia since I was little. It was super terrible when I was super little, I would lean up against a table and have it all over my stomache. My mom finally notices and took me to the doctor. The doctor told me to get blood tests for leukemia. I got blood tests every week for a long time and was missing a lot of days of school from testing. I felt fine and that was my only symptom. I found out I had a disorder called itp it causes low blood cell counts and more bleeding everywhere. So if i got a cut I would bleed more then we the people. I still have pethekia and it does act up more when im anxious.
I’ve had these for years. Everywhere on my body arms, legs, face, stomach you name it. Sometimes I will have a lot and other days just a few, sometimes will have them clustered together or isolated. I’ve gotten blood tests and nothing so far has been diagnosed. Tbh if I have gone this long without major symptoms and haven’t died yet I should be alright!
Susie ı have petechiae all of my body. Still have?
@@berkeinal8925 yes I still get them, maybe a bit rarely now
Hi can I ask do you still have it now? my daughter has it for 8months now..on and off.
Thanks for this now I can sleep well. Mine would reappered if I do heavy workout or have an anxiety attack. 😄
I cant believe i finally found the specific video that ive been trying to, i have these weird red spots lately and just convinced myself that i have leukemia 😭😭
Same. I’m scaring myself. Because I have spots and folliculitis which is another symptom.

Hi there! I do have these petechie spots. I have had them off and on through my life. They come and go. Like you, sometimes they are from lifting, or I once got them after a bad sunburn on my legs. This last time was about a week or so ago. I thought it was because I applied so much lotion, then powder, then calamine lotion, and I thought maybe I irritated my leg pores. The petechie were mostly on the lower legs. Anyways, I went to my GP last Thursday and she said they were from standing or using my treadmill. They are capallaritis. But then she said the rash looked like a heat rash, not petechiae and called it dermatitis. I, too, like you were concerned about leukemia or a lymphoma rash. She ruled that out. So yesterday I went to a board-certified dermatologist. I explained to her how after exercising a couple days later I noticed, after applying the cream, the powder, The lotion etc. that I got this terrible petechiae rash. She looked at it and called it.Capallaritis. She said it can be brought on from exercise, overheated, or it can just be a thing. She did not want to biopsy it, and did not seem concerned. She did not say it was dermatitis like my GP did. But they both mentioned the small breakage under the skin, causing the red spots. I don’t have any other symptoms, but this is caused great stress. I too like you, I am a very anxious and nervous person that sometimes gets overly stressed out. I’m not sure if I brought it on myself because I’m usually stressed out every day. Lol but it was just weird how it cropped up I have a physical with my GP at the end of this month, and I might mention to her about doing some blood test.thanks for sharing Mary
Hello How are you now..my daughter have this on and off for 2 years now all bloodworks came out fine
@theakharizza2693 Thank you for asking.
It cleared up . I guess after asking 5 doctors (2 dermatologist ) it’s just something people get. It can be from heavy excise, lifting, friction, sunburn and injury.
I am 66 so my skin is thinned out… unfortunately, so I guess that can attribute to it too. Like I mentioned, I have seen tiny petechie spots most of my adult life.
The doctors all seem to call it capallaritis, or just breaks under the skin that leak
I hope your daughter’s is better now.
For me I get post vomiting or post coughing petechiae on my face only. If I cough so hard or vomit in a bad position leaning down. Also if I put my face down trying to make some yoga. These are all physical petechiae ! It's a really weird condition that even doctors get confused with. Health is a precious thing that we should protect away from stress & anxiety!
Same thing happens to me !
Omg I really needed this
I have them also since I was a kid I think but I’ve been thru so much stress and anxiety lately that I’m starting to noticing them more and freaks me out everytime I see them …
Thank you so much ❤️
My daughter have petechaie for nearly 2 years now on and off.
It mostly appears on her neck sometimes on her back, legs, ankles and knees.
Sometimes it develops into purpura.
We did Vitamin C and D tests all came back normal.
We did cbc like almost 30 times for 2 years now all came back normal.
We also tested for Lupus came back negative thanked God.
She had on and off fever last year.
very vulnerable to respirarory infections lately.
Strep throat for the past months come and go as well.
She is not like this at all when she was younger and the doctors does not have any diagnosis on her yet.
I am very stressed out.
I’ve been watching a bunch of these clips about the red spots but nobody is really showing pics of them. It’s frustrating.
Most definitely. I saw some on my arm one day and started FREAKING OUT. didn’t even know it was a symptom of leukemia until I went to Google and Google told me. i started freaking out, and HA took over. I then got over the fear due to another issue that triggered my HA and yeah. I still get them from time to time
Are u ok rn? I'm very worried because i just woke up and got them
@@iamred3667 Same. I starting getting many of them yesterday and earlier after a 2 hours standing in a thing ( cause I applying a paint on my wall ). I notice earlier while bathing that I have a like an blood cloth beneath the skin that look like bruises, and 5 petechiae in my legs and many of look likes rashes om my feet. I'm so worried about it, and plan now to have a blood test tomorrow. I don't know if it's normal or not, but I starting getting them since I'm in 6th grade, and not experiencing other symptoms.
@@taniaruiz7778 i hope you're doing good
Mine flares up on my arms but then slowly fades away, I also heard if it was lekiuma it would stay until treated so that’s a way I try to calm down. My blood work has came back good so I’m guessing there caused from anxiety attacks
I woke up the other morning with pain behind my kidney, felt sickly , faint , and my husband picked me off the floor and took me to the ER. The doctor thought i had a kidney stone and passed it, but you don't get a petechiae rash on your face , even blood spots on my eye balls. I also was exposed to covid so I don't know what is going on with this. Very concerned.
I noticed the tiny specks on my arm a couple of months ago, and it seems to have been coming and going. It’s only really been on my right arm, with only a few on my left. Today I noticed it again but it’s much more red and flared as they are appearing in clusters as well as forming lines.
I have daily stress and anxiety, but also low energy. Sometimes my extremities get cold when the rest of my body is fine. So I’m really scared. I don’t have insurance right now thanks to by abusive ex, so I can’t even see a doctor or get tested until who knows when.
Who's there because of anxiety?
Me
Me
I had lots of petechiae on my buttocks a few years ago. I didn't worry about my health, so I thought it would be a good idea to watch them and go to the doctor only if they didn't disappear. My theory is that they were from straining, as I was constipated back then. 😂
I always have some random red dots on my skin (maybe about 15/20 now on my whole body if I count them), but I don't think they're petechiae. My mum has them too, and I had bloodwork, so they're harmless.
Obviously, if I had known petechiae could mean leukemia, I would have freaked out. Well... ignorance is bliss sometimes.
Hey same! I’ve noticed my mom gets them too so maybe it’s a family thing
My brother have those and I also have it it's ok u have a petechiae but if u see petechiae and u wake up with bruises it's time for u to bloodtest
Ok but mine don’t go away. I get a new one and it stays. I bruise very very easily. Lightly poke me and there will be a bruise the next morning. And I have mild folliculitis on my arms which I didn’t know is apparently another symptom of leukemia. I also have fainting spells that I can feel coming on. But I have for many years. So now I’m just a walking ball of anxiety.
I too feel like getting them whenever I look for them. Was looking at my leg the other day and there were none, looked again shortly after and there were a few🤔
i had them on my chest when i had a cold. i was obviously coughing hard and a lot. i thought i was internally bleeding. since then they have gone. i couldve easily just popped a blood vessel or something but i was really scared xx
Pietechia always comes in cluster it look like rash and fades away with time
If it don't fade away then it is cherry angiomas benign so it is nothing worrying
Petechia can come if you have allergy reaction or have hot water bath or scratch too hard 🙂
Thanks for the reassurance, I think mine was caused by a allergic reaction
@@wendyalvarado6138 me too, my boyfriend is like baby your booty has cherries on top .. and I thought it was a joke then I look down at my arms and it’s on my arms and I’m like panicking and he’s like “the cherries are on your arm now babe” then it made sense but I definitely had an allergic reaction.. decided to pop adderall for fun .. never again 😑

A freaking bug bit me and i was scratching overnight and in the morning petechiae around the are i got bit and large red itchy bump where i got bit
Thanks broo!!!! You are a life saver 😱🥲😭
I literally have these things in my toes and 2 in my fingers. I fear it was leukemia then blitz to google and realized I have this pain in he back of my neck and got anxious thinking it was meningitis but it doesn't just make sense that I don't have fever or headache or nausea. But it freaks me out in the meningitis thing though cuz I still experience neck pain, dreadness, somewhat loss of appetite.
Are you okay now?
I recently joined volleyball and I developed these little red blood spots. I have practice everyday and yesterday was barely my first day. I’m worried that if I keep using my hands bumping the ball it will get worse. Is this true??
I have these all over my body and didn’t know why after a lil investigation it took me 5 yrs to find out the cause was from mold exposure made my skin look horrible til this day 😢

I got so many petechaie on my legs and back arm. I don’t know what to do and honestly I got anxiety regarding this red spot. 😢
Hi do you still get them till today? Have you find a solution to them?
Funny thing for me is in the beginning of 2021 or so. I kept getting these random 2-day fevers about 3 to 5 times in the first three or four months of 2021 and it went away for a long time and then just recently I have been getting fevers low grade always and some kind of joint pain and bone pain though very mild and it mainly happens on the weekends for a couple days and I generally don't feel very well kind of tired and run out. And then it clears out for 5 days or so. It has happened this weekend and last weekend and before last weekend. I had it a month before that and then a month before that or so. Though I don't think I have any petechiae I only really ever get those little rash things after I take a hot shower on my legs. No, the past couple weeks I have noticed I got these low grade fevers like a day after. I have binged on a lot of junk food and sugar. And the fever is usually come from like 10:00 a.m. and onward. I'm wondering if it's some kind of autoimmune response to anxiety like what you had.
Are you ok now
I got tiny tiny red spots on my arms and neck after a very bad panic attack which caused a depersonalization in 2021. Anyway I was scared of these spots 1st,been to derm he said I was fine. I panicked over them for a long time. They also disappear when pressed on. It's been more than a year and nothing has happened. They're still there and harmless 😅 I asked people and some had them too
Hi can I ask do you still have them do they go and come back? my daughter has it for 8months on and off now..all bloodworks came back normal so far..thanked God.
I have it at the moment, started appearing last saturday april 17 till present and i have to go see a doctor tomorrow about this and hoping that its not a bad news hope to god
What was the information?
Are these tiny tiny pin point red dots? Like you would have to look really close to see them? I saw some on my arms about two months ago and now I've seen some on my legs. I've had bad anxiety for at least 7 months just generally, it's got worse and then I googled what it means and it's really scared me. It's prob been about 3 months since I've noticed them. I am looking for them almost everyday though. Because it scared me otherwise I never check my body
Appeared on my right back hand, that’s all. Don’t know what I’m going through but so far I feel fine, it’s just tiny red dots on my hand but it’s not doing anything to me, I don’t feel pain as well. Ya’ll are good, stay safe.

But nevertheless, petechiaes CAN be a warning sign. But for diseases than can be ruled out easily by a blood test

Hello. I deal with health anxiety pretty bad. This stems from me having a fibroid on my ovaries and before I found out it wasn’t cancer I thought the worst and thought it was cancer. I noticed three weeks ago I had a small blood spot on my arm near where you get blood drawn. It went away but now I noticed I have another one in the same area. I am in a panic. I have been very stressed out lately and I’ve had a ton of anxiety. Weather it is related I don’t know. I don’t like to get my blood drawn because I’m so afraid of my results coming back bad. I worry too much. I do meditate a lot and I try to not overthink but it comes on it’s own. Any other advice you can help me with would be great.
Could anxiety be causing this
One word, anxiety. It's hard to believe but it's true.

i have tons of petechiae on my legs, and my doctor confirmed it. got a blood test and it came back normal. so I'm still exploring what's causing them. but anyways, perfect timing for this video too!! no one ever talks about this symptom
Low vitamin k
I get them from scratching! I have super dry skin so when I repeatedly scratch one area really hard (especially areas where the skin is thin like on my breasts or upper arms) they appear for a couple days.
@@vishveshtadsare3160 nope, ruled that out
Same bro for how long do you have them?
@@vibhoarbajaj9730 over a year
i always notice them from taking steaming hot showers i’ve had thennn for almost 4 years, i just figured it is cancer i would have had more symptoms by now... right
I just recently found out yesterday I have them, was curious searched it up. Started panicking thinking what if it's leukemia and this were it lead me to.
To be honest you look fine, I wouldnt worry too much!
Is this normal? I usually see most of the Petechiae on my feet and ankle when I go outside in the sun, I don’t get them on my upper body at all but these past days I’ve been worried to death about this stuff and worrying about what would happen to me. They usually fade a little when i’m inside for a few hours but when i go in a hot shower I get them again?
Whew lord yes!!! They stay on my feet I don't often sit in the tub because of my anxiety (I've never passed out once) but feel like if I sit in a tub that's when I will and then I'll drown, but like I know I could pass out standing up and still drown but that don't bother me.... So they don't go higher up my leg than the water, and I know it's the water and the heat, my feet look like 🍅 tomatoes red when I come out from heat.. but I still dream the worse my doc checked all my blood and told me either stop taking hot baths or wear socks so u don't see ur feet .. but I still feel like there's more to it
@@jenniferevan678 Don’t worry about it too much! your doctor checked your blood and blood test are pretty accurate so I’m sure you are fine 👍🏽 I don’t look down at my feet a lot now and I honestly think it helps to not stare at it, I heard a lot of people get them from heat too!
Dude
I’m the same way!
I get it from lifting always had it before, now with health anxiety it feels like it’s abnormal
I went to my GP today regarding my bruises which keep appearing out of nowhere. She asked me about any spots or rashes and I showed her my, as I thought, blood spots on hands, but she said that they are harmless. Also, she didn't see my bruises as too sinister, but I still need to have blood tests done. She mentioned trombo-something that may be the cause, but I hope it won't be the case. I was so afraid to go to the doctor and I will definitely be freaking out when I get my blood tests' results, but I felt such a relief today. I went to the doc, I need to end this endless worrying. You are a great inspiration for me, Cherelle!
What were the results?
Thrombosis?
Imam slicno nesto, sto ti rekoja deka e?
I had these ocasionaly but one time extremly big spot of them appeared on my face. It was purple and it looked exactly like a lukemia purple rash, even my dad, a doctor was scared at first, but then he asked about when they appeared and it turned out, it was a extreme case of contact dermatitits 😂
These red spot started appearing on my fingetips, saw the doctor today and they took some blood to check my blood. I'm waiting for the results. This videos helped me ALOT to calm down.
Did you get your results back? I have the same spots on my fingertips, I noticed them a couple of days ago.
@@meganweatherill sorry, I just saw your comment now. Yes, thankfully there was nothing so off with it, and the dots disappeared now after two months. The test is called CPC.
I got petechaie like 2 monthes ago and it healed really fast like less than 2 days ago but that doesn’t stop me for panicking 😭I was scratching myself so hard and then the next day I got it and it was sorta itchy ngl
Have you considered an hiv test?
So I'm getting these little red spots right now on my hands, I teach tennis in a very warm climate so I'm outside in the sun all the time. I'm pretty sure it's Petechiae or some kind of Purpula. It's just on my hands, they come and go, and no symptoms whatsoever, just very strange looking. I've started wearing compression sleeves when I'm outside and they seem to be helping, so I think it's just sun related.
if u press hard do they disappear?
Hello guys! I’ve been having random bruises on my legs for months. I’m thinking about the dreaded L. Anyway, what’s the health anxiety facebook group?
Since I was little I would bruise easily and so does my sister. Don’t freak out
even i get bruises but they fade away on their own.. is it normal?
@@ketciareyes2867 thank you! I had a cbc and a coagulation panel and everything was ok! I guess I’m Just weird lol
Hi valeria, did it stop coming or did u get to know why was it happening... I too am getting bruises on my thighs or knee aometimes, they just come and gp away on their own but happens frequently... plz help
Sounds a little bit like you may be having an issue with collagen
I get them from anxiety too. Have to ACCEPT
I’ve been so stressed about this. Dealing with it now
Same thing has happened to me but it has been years my blood work is never right tho!
I have pin point spots red color can you tell me what could it be I even went to dr
How r u now?
I have cancer and the treatment ive had increased my risk for aml. Currently extremely anxious about a small patch on my thumb :(
What type of cancer do you have? I'm also freaking out because I've recently noticed my red spots
@@wendyalvarado6138 papillary thyroid cancer. My petechiae cleared up before I had a chance to see a doctor, but you should just get it looked at
❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
So I've actually just gotten my blood drawn today. This was following an increase in Petechiae during the past 3 weeks (I've had them about a year now), ~3 years of unusual fatigue (in my 20s), and bonus: swollen lymphatic areas. Currently waiting on results, but it is nice to see so many folks in the comments have experience with these spots without serious issue.
Can you let me know the results please? similar symptoms very scared.
@@Cannibal.Stabbing.Menace Platelet and RBC were all good, with slightly abnormal WBC (expected and consistent with the unusual lymphatic swelling with no obvious causes). WBC differential was normal (abnormal example might be immature/deformed cells present in blood released too early from the marrow)
Essentially I've just got to wait for things to worsen to go in for more testing. They're considering a thyroid issue and just gave me a list of things to watch for. My results just generated all around confusion and we won't have ideas for much else to test for until things get ugly
@@reggie2685 so how are u now? May i know?
I hav the same issue i got these red dots especially on legs around the ankle and i hav swollen lymph nodes under my chin😭😭 symptoms of leukemia i think i'm dying and iam too scared to do a test and find ou the truth
@@allswellthatendswell3530 both of us might having the same Problem. Health Anxiety
I get them in same spot off and on. My right thigh and left upper arm. They go away and sometimes come back few weeks or months later.
Hi do you still have them? have you had your blood tests?
Last night I slept on my arm and woke up with 3 dots in my arm near where I put pressure on
Ive found 3 lines of red spots on my left arms but they arent itchy. They come and go...i went to google & the results just heightened my health anxiety then i saw ur comment & i felt abit relieved? Bcs i think ive found a probable cause. I sleep on my left side due to gerd & also ive been checking my blood pressure frequently. This makes me think is putting pressure the cause of my red spots?? Im afraid to see a doctor bcs it's covid outside
I get these mostly when I test my blood pressure
I have those blood spots lately too but I do have an autoimmune disease. It causes severe anxiety too hence the constant panic. To be diagnosed, my blood tests came back normal however my MRI showed up that I had a nodule on my thyroid which is stopping it from working properly so it's not always the blood tests that will catch the autoimmune disease. Not in my experience anyways zz
Same
I love this women
Dragged on forever. Same happened to me. Medical mystery
I woke up with a red spot on my arm. Like as if my vein is red and with little skin coloured bumps. Idk what this is, it doesn’t itch but it scares me
petechiae is flat not bumps
I'm still freaking out about my bruises even though my blood tests came out just fine 😔
I’m right there with you on that one♥️ waking up counting bruises wondering how they got there
same here but my bruises go away on their own is it normal am freaking
@@Zumar1978 so it's great that they go away on their own. It's actually a very good sign ❤
I totally understand. I have severe hypochondria and even after every ER visit or doctor visit, I’m convinced they missed something and find a new diagnosis that I end up going back in for them to check.
You and me both pal
