I have had severe anxiety & hypochondria for a few years now - I have convinced myself I have had every type of cancer, a heart condition, brain tumor, etc. Since Fall 2011 (about a year into disorder), I've had this pain in my right temple. I sometimes feel it in my left, but it is usually in the right. Sometimes its a stabbing pain but usually its just a dull "feeling." I have had anxiety off and on about it being an aneurysm for a few years but I've never gotten it checked out - I am always able to talk myself out of being scared about it. But I'm back to being petrified. The other day, I was triggered while talking to someone about aneurysms, and how you can be born with them. Now i am freaking out, convinced i could die at any moment, and my anxiety is through the roof. I am 20 years old and in perfectly good health (or so i think...) and i cant think about anything but my impending & painful doom. Help??

I'm sorry to hear that mate

I suffer from health anxiety too , it's horrible & affects life hugely

You just need to tell yourself over & over that you are fine
