What is Health Anxiety?

[@eleanorwadsworth6018]

I use to worry about my heart, but I don’t now because I had reassurance from my doctors. NowI’m worried about my head because I get head sensations like numbness and tingling, I have seen that is a symptom of anxiety but I get so worried about it. I’ve learnt that looking up the symptoms makes it a whole lot worse and that seems to be the case!! The more I think about it the more I get these head sensations

[@isabellagei1778]

Bro i feel the same :(

Mine started when I was 9, just finished watching children in need, every time I went to wash I’d check bumps marks anything. I was petrified of cancer. I was only nine when I broke down in tears for 2 hours because I knew I was going to die, and probably from cancer. Yet my mum thought nothing of it. It’s been 5 years and after a friend of mine got a brain tumour. It has come back ten times worse and everyday feels a day closer to my death. I can’t do anything anymore

[@OhMyGod4445]

It's me.... I'm suffering right now, I was exposed to a lady that had severe heart problems and she shared her story with me, I was renewing my Drivers Licensee so I couldn't just walk out, she was suffering and no airconditoning, she was sitting on a modified wheel chair (Asia).

My Health Anxiety is caused by not being able to interact with the Medical Profession on any level, due to having been so mistreated by them for so many years... Every time I get an ache, pain or symptom of any kind, I panic, and have to ‘self-medicate’ and just hope it’s never anything serious and goes away. For the most part it does, but I worry as I get older, I may develop something more serious, or that may need Medical Intervention, which has made my Health Anxiety MUCH worse - and I feel I don’t have the Medical Profession to turn to... What do I do? Please help!

I’m having an anxiety attack because I started watching this video, great. I was fine before I started watching this, the word anxiety gives me a fucking anxiety attac 😂😂

[@dejacraig4585]

I thought I had a heart problem and I went to the doctor, they did tests and said I'm fine but it still hasn't changed

[@KRAZEEIZATION]

I think anxiety is an OCD but because the body reacts to it then the vicious loop starts.

[@pannkaka5138]

when i have an anxiety attack about myself having a brain tumor i literally think "why dont i just end it now so i dont have to suffer through´the brain tumor" i need help

I'm 12 and I've thought I've had oral cancer for about 3 weeks because I have white spots on gums, bumps under tounge, red spots on cheeks and now a bump on the roof of my mouth but last week I went to the orthodontist to get my braces 1 or 2 weeks ago and they said my mouth was fine and healthy and that everyone's looks diff but my health anxiety started when I shined a flashlight into my mouth for the first time and I started googling and it said I had oral cancer, I was fine for about a week and now it started again because of red spots on my cheeks and a bump on the roof of mouth, I'm am terrified

[@ymcs5935]

You know many people at our age have a habit of searching online for symptoms etc, Ive been worrying about something that happened 8 years ago and look I’m still here, it will always be in my mind, it went as bad as having a realistic dream about it believing it was real. When I first searched online about it it said all of these cancers not showing the common issues, we are at a young age where we are very unlikely to get these horrible things, remember that

[@ymcs5935]

We also tend to develop the symptoms after searching about it this is due to ur mind tricking yourself to having it

Hi I'm having physical symptoms of anxiety Chest pain Tingling sensations in feet and hands My Dr advised me to get a vit test and I'm deficient in vit d ... Since I am taking the vit supplements my tingling has vanished and my chest pain has reduced drastically..... I was so happy But since few days I'm shortness of breath and lump in the throat sensation.... Luckily my chest pain and tingling is reducing everyday... Should I take meds? Will there be a relapse of the symptoms, especially physical symptoms if I stop the meds after feeling better? These two fears are scaring me and preventing me to go to the psychatrist and take meds... Also I take counselling since 2 years as I had problems at school and at home... I recovered nicely but idk what has happened to me since 2 months

[@saragarofano6471]

I know why women have more health anxiety. Doctors can push a woman away from being tested for something because male doctors think that she's being emotional. So maybe a few of these people actually DID have an underlying healthy problem, and since then don't trust doctors. Please consider this theory for your research!

Thank you for sharing

[@truthexposer2480]

I’m a woman, and I’ve experienced female doctor’s doing exactly the same thing! It’s to do with a dismissive attitude towards people, rather than gender.

[@belcoja]

I agree with this! It's so stressful feeling like you can't trust the medical field from previous experiences.

[@jakereyes3562]

Can zoloft cure this?

Maybe.. though I am currently taking 50mg Zoloft and am still very anxious about my health. Everyone is different tho! I might just need a higher dose lol

Personally I don't take medication. Reason being is I feel like to eliminate Anxiety we need to get down to the root cause(s). Find & deal with the reasons why there is anxiety then there'll be no anxiety if you know what I mean?
