Video notes on the health anxiety symptoms video below:
- Create separation from instinctually reacting to them, and create connection towards intuitively understanding them.
- Take an inventory of which habits drive health anxiety symptoms further upon waking up in the morning and prior to going to sleep.
- Find the subconscious/inner child motivation towards falling victim to these health anxiety symptoms.
Questions for reflection:
- 1) Why does the inner child demand perceiving the world in a fearful manner?
- 2) What scares the inner child most about believing in inner peace and self love?
- 3) What is the inner child looking to prevent you from doing by elevating these health anxiety symptoms?
“Remember, you are one new interpretation away from putting your health anxiety behind you.”

Hi I love your videos thank you so much for all the information. I want to know if you do any programs one on one? Or sessions and if so how do I sign up?

[@essaysbyken]

I actually had a highly treatable cancer, which spurred my health anxiety in remission. But I suffered more from the anxiety than I did the cancer. Sh*t is either going to happen or it's not - either way, life is too short to live with anxiety. So, when an intrusive thought says "you're going to die," just say back "you're right - I better not waste today in dread."

[@yoniwan2343]

Wow! This was so insightful! Hell yes!

[@mitchgillilan]

The moment my severe health anxiety started to get better was when I started to ignore it, and stop giving the feedback loop in my mind more information/stimulation from all these crazy symptoms. It was extremely hard to do at first and I didn't believe it would work, but somehow I'm doing a little bit better every month after being completely non functional for a year. I had the worst symptoms too. They were very scary and real, but somehow I knew I had to turn the ship around and climb out of the hole I dug myself in. We can all heal from this, I believe everyone can if I can. 🙏 ❤

[@nshaunta2229]

I’ve been in a depression that past week because my health anxiety is so bad. Because I’m depressed it’s causing issues to my physical health, which I’m turn makes my health anxiety even worse, which makes the depression worse. It’s a terrible cycle & I need to get out of it 🥹

[@JFrombaugh]

I remember reading somewhere that if you only really notice your symptoms while you’re awake, rather than being woken by them, then chances are they’re related to anxiety rather than actually signaling something wrong.

I still have health anxiety because I have been going through a mysterious illness that doctors can't diagnose. >_>

[@limsivinex201]

I have breasts pain for a while now. I don't know it's just me or what, the pain always comes when I am awake. The doctor told me I can examine them to see if my breasts are different but they are normal. I don't know what is wrong with me.

[@inbarmarkovitch3658]

@@limsivinex201I’m going through the same thing. Sensitive breasts and sharp stabs in the chest that only last like a second, but they come and go for hours . Ecg, echocardiogram and chest ct were all perfect so I know chances are it’s just anxiety but it bothers me sooo much

[@TheLiberaceTheory]

@@inbarmarkovitch3658I actually know a reason for this. Anxiety can cause muscle tension especially in the chest. There’s a related thing called “armoring” from trauma- your body tenses up in preparation to react to more trauma. All that muscle tension builds until you get these single-second shooting pains over and over again, especially in the chest, back, shoulders, arms…

i’ve been to the er twice and had a physical where they all did blood work and everything came back fine. i’ve been convinced i had cancer, was having a stroke, etc. it’s so draining especially when i’m only 17. no one seems to understand and people around me just say “ignore it” or “stop worrying so much” but i can’t?? my symptoms are still there and i’m so scared something is wrong. i’ve been recommended to go see a therapist but i have to wait some time before going. this anxiety is my first thought in the morning and the last thought when i go to sleep.

[@emilysevaaetasi4456]

i completely understand, im the exact same way!!! you are not alone

[@wassupg5272]

I’m 17 too and I’m going through this so bad too. I’m so convinced I have a brain tumor and it’s all I think about all day. Before thinking I had a brain tumor, I thought I 100% was having heart problems, and doctors checked everything and said I’m fine. Everyone also tells me that I’m overthinking or that it’s all in my head and to stop worrying but nothing helps. It’s all I think about from the moment I wake up, to the moment I go to sleep.

[@Siren_Eigha]

[@mayflower_jeme]

You are not alone

[@jacindaleslie500]

I feel the same way, youre not alone, morning, and night, randomly. Anxiety can cause very physical symptoms, its your nervous system! Very connected to your body. Try to do something distracting, stay hydrated and eat good make sure to exercise ( walk) these are a few things to reassure you that youre healthy and safe.

[@lizzismith626]

I never actually realised until now that other people with bad health anxiety also avoid talking to people, answering the phone or answering text messages, the last few weeks I’ve been too anxious to talk to anyone, and I thought that had a deep meaning behind it, where now I feel more comfortable knowing that other people do this also 🙏🏻❤️

[@shirleyballard1648]

I’m sitting here crying because it hits home. I’ve been struggling for months. I had a couple of weeks where I was okay, at peace. Prior to that, I ran to doctors constantly. I had blood work done, they even gave me an EKG. Everything is fine. The only thing they found was low vitamin D levels. I keep reminding myself that I’m fine. But since Sunday I’ve had heart fluttering/palpitations. Even though I know I’m fine and keep telling myself I just had an EKG done a few months ago, I still freak out at the sensation. I’m having a hard time pin pointing what’s causing it. I’m also trying to have my inner dialog by telling myself “you had an EKG done. Your heart is fine. There is no way that from one minute to the next something could be wrong” or “if something would be wrong, you wouldn’t be able to go days with these heart flutters/palpitations and still function the way you are. If it was your heart; you’d know” and even though I know this, and I’m telling myself over and over; I can’t seem to get the fluttering/palpitations to stop because the “what if” arises and I begin asking myself “what if it is serious this time… what if it is different this time…” That’s the cycle I need to get out of.

[@christinagreaves7932]

Me too

[@samantharuiz9118]

While I don’t wish these thoughts on anyone else this makes me feel a sense of relief knowing I’m not alone in my thoughts, panic, and anxieties. 2 EKGS, and chest X-ray, an er and urgent care visit and all clear.

[@insa7689]

How are you doing?I have newly developed anxiety which causes my gastric symptoms on all levels…even clean eating doesn’t help. This is my main struggle now, but it used to be as for you heart palpitations. To which I have question for you…do you actually have heart palpitations or you can just hear your heart beating? I had the issue, where I assumed I have heart palpitations if I lay on back and focus on my heartbeat and feel it in neck, back of my head etc. What helped me was putting ice packs (wrapped in towel) under my head and pounding sort of was numbed until I start drifting off. Then just quickly turned to side and fell asleep. First it took only two hours of sleep but slowly got to at least 4 hours. I rarely hear heartbeat during day because I am distracted by various things, it is the laying down that gives ‘heart palpitations’

[@Thadhaam]

For me it helped me realizing my inner child grew up in a home of complete chaos and I could never know where the next treat would be coming from. So you learn to constantly scan environments, people, sensations in order to be able to control the outcome so you could "keep your peace" and yourself safe but it ironically ends up as an affirmation to yourself that you are still in constant danger. Gotta get to the fear you felt as a child and just be with that fear, it need to be felt to be healed, just keep reparenting yourself and talk to that part of you. Rest is safe. Being at peace is safe. We got this fam. X

[@bettyausten9533]

Let it simmer while you continue living your life as usual. We get scared of our thoughts and its OK. Anxiety will NOT harm you!! It's actually in place to protect you. Feel your emotions. But then carry on with your life. The only thing that cures anxiety and panic attacks is...TIME. Don't try to get rid of it, the more you resist it the more it persists.

Right when I wake up I immediately check for that all too familiar feeling of discomfort that radiates throughout my body, but is especially noticeable in my gut/intestines.

Then, I try and take every and any action that will mitigate these symptoms from showing up.

My challenge is when a symptom "sticks." I have been through all the fear and symptoms of many issues. Finally I landed on tinnitus. It is constant and so far the hardest one to let go. It is always there. I remember saying several times saying to myself, "If the muscle twitches stop, if the migraines stop, if the _______ stops, I will stop worrying completely. I keep finding something new to worry about until one symptom stuck. Tinnitus and TMJ at night seems to be sticking around longer than the others and the last thing for me to let go. It is frustrating but videos like this help immensely.

I’m 17, and I’ve been diagnosed with anxiety, and I’ve been having really bad health anxiety for months. I’ve thought I’ve had heart problems, which have been dismissed by doctors. Now I’m super convinced I have a brain tumor because I have so many symptoms, and thinking I’ve been dismissing the symptoms as anxiety. It’s so frustrating and scary. All I do is spend hours looking up symptoms, looking up all these things. Everywhere I go I check for symptoms. It’s a never ending cycle. I want to get an MRI so bad, and just thinking of them finding a brain tumor makes me panic. I really hope nothing is wrong with me, but I’ll just have to wait till I can get an MRI some day.

[@adylan612]

Its a vicious cycle. I too do the same things and things have been checked out to be just fine. Until I have another symptom..and what if... And convince myself that THIS time..it IS something. I think it has to do w fear of productivity and having so much to lose ( i.e. opportunity, the chance to become what we want. Etc).

[@wassupg5272]

@@adylan612 it really is a vicious cycle. I wish you the best. I was literally just watching brain tumor videos when I got your reply notification 😭 I’m terrified.

I am 23, my uncle and grandfather died from cancer, other uncle and other grandfather survived it. Huge fear to get cancer for years. I have the so called "globus syndrome"... Never went to an ENT physician, only my family doctor. I explained to him that I have fear of having throat cancer and have been fearing cancer for many years. He told me that it's most likely psychosomatic. Now it's 2,5 years later, the symptom is still here, I just lived with that for 2,5 years, it's permanently there, but I never really worked on my anxiety problems. It didn't get worse, it's just the same for 2,5 years which means that MOST LIKELY it's not cancer, but still, from time to time I get these random thoughts that it's for sure cancer and I am gonna die. For one week now it's the case once again. I am going to go to an ENT physician. I wanna make sure I am healthy. Although I know that there is this phenomenon that is psychosomatic that I most likely have, I know that if I had cancer, it would be different than it is now (I would probably be dead or have way worse symptoms besides that lump in the throat), but I can't get over it. It's destroying my nerves and the last week or so my thoughts tended to go into the direction of "Why am I even doing this, it's useless, I am gonna die soon anyways"... It's so hard.......

[@NatureGirlWOO]

You’re not alone. It’s my biggest fear as well.

[@shadowprince4620]

Same here. My grandmother died very suddenly from cancer when I was high school and now my uncle has late stage. Because of that, getting cancer has been my biggest dread and any little ache or pain sends me down a rabbit hole of anxious overthinking, even when I know that it’s likely something completely minor or psychosomatic

[@christinagreaves7932]

You are amazing love you’re calm voice I will follow you on Instagram!! My moment of clarity is that I have programmed my brain to the think anxiety I have everyday is going to control me. Now I can see where your coming from thank you from key west fl!!

[@darrellgonzales1743]

Thank u Dennis for helping me

[@kathyaiello2391]

You’re the best. Your detailed explanations have made me finally understand where the roots of my fears come from. They come from my upbringing as a child. I also now realise that always rushing, being a control freak and a perfectionist comes from my anxiety! With your advice, I’m trying to more consciously slow down and let things go. Thank you. Listening to your advice is such a comfort for me.

Your KZbin channel has helped me overcome a lot of my panic attacks. I was suffering for 45 days and after getting a complete health check up done and getting normal results I have been able to overcome it by at least 75%. Yes I do get it every now and then mostly towards the evening jus Tilke right now I got a sever panic attack here in I was finding it difficult to breathe because of which I just purchased an oximeter to check my oxygen level and my pulse rate and it is Normal🤦‍♂️ I hope all of us overcome this so that we can live our lives without overthinking

[@stevenbryant8149]

Glad I'm not the only one who has used the pulse oximetre to remind myself I am breathing and there's nothing wrong with me.

[@Saxtactical89]

I’ve done that too!!

[@johithjeswithatirumulasett5035]

Same I too cheking pulse oxmeter daily

[@r.sandhu8391]

Hey how are you now. And was your heart rate normal?

[@mistersheen9365]

All I will say people is please don't become reliable on the pulse oximeters, Happened to me. I had to end up giving it away to a friend lol...too much external reassurance for me when what I needed was internal reassurance I was perfectly fine

[@deftonesfairy]

Love this!!💯💖

[@priscillalopez1390]

I had a very traumatic upbringing, I had an abusive relationship, multiple family members died from various cancers & other health problems. I had serious health issues as a child and needed serious surgery as an infant. My mind races with the what if's. every little feeling, pain, sensation triggers me to overthink and before I know it I am having a panic attack and having bad physical symptoms. I've been dealing with this for years. I want to be free from this already

[@adylan612]

Same here.... We will overcome this!!

[@Adorableknotsbyfaith]

Not many talk about the anxiety sensations so thank u for making this

[@elenawilmott5119]

My inner child falls ill to get the loving attention, and until she gets it, she's not going to get better. The attention she used to have is medical and doesn't remember many people who said it will get better. Our bodies are designed to heal themselves, if we let it, love it and be kind. I am learning to talk to that part of me and reassure. It takes time to convince her though!

Your videos have helped me so much. I just found you a couple of weeks ago!! You are so inspiring and making a real difference in people's lives. A sincere thank you. When you said "The world needs you", I felt so blessed. I put myself down every day because if my anxiety, and forget my worth. Thank you for such inspiring words, and thank you for reminding me that my anxiety is familiar, and that is why I keep going back to what is familiar. Bless you!!

I have an inner tremble. Feels like it’s in the core of my brain. Results in racing, brain foggy thoughts that are hard to control and don’t make sense. Also robs me of my sleep. My doctors tell me this is anxiety. But it happens too when my muscles get tense and tight. I’m trying sooo hard to refocus, calm down, and tell myself it’s okey. But man is it tough when I can’t even think clearly. Your videos are very soothing and reassuring. I know I’ll get there. It will just take time. I’m 48 and battled health anxiety my whole life
