I have health anxiety nd think things are wrong but cuz of my fear I won't go docs then I've to reason wiv my self nd tell my self it's stress nd anxiety making me feel this way but then I get scared nd think what if it isn't nd it's something more nd I leave it till it's a bigger problem if anyone does how do they bite ther tongue nd just get a check up t be on the safe side ??

I understand what you are feeling, my anxiety is triggered by health as well. I hate going to the doctors or the hospital because I worry that I will catch something even worse. I also get anxious about people vomiting, so if someone mentions it in the doctors I get really stressed.

I have had to force myself to go in the past, firstly to try and get help, but also because my wife needed treatment and surgery in hospital, so I wanted to be with her. Normally my fear that I have something wrong, outweighs the anxiety of the doctors.

See mine doesn't nd then that makes my fear worse that's why wen I see posts of people who have ad bloods ECG a ect nd all norm I'd be happy nd less anxious but because I dare not go I get worse I've ibs but I get bad acid nd get scared to go nd check just to make sure it's nothing worse because I'm checking my tongue cuz it's a bit white even tho I drink plenty I knw acid can do that but now I'm obsessing about it nd making my mouth dry nd brushing my tongue a lot to just wish I could build courage to go wen my anxiety is lower I can go but wen it's high I get so scared

Vic do you have heart health anxiety? Because that's what u suffer. I never used to but I do now abit nd cancer anxiety just anything to do with health and aging I don't think it's helped with in the past working with elderly and in hospitals. I knw anxiety depression and stress do cause many aches pains nd symptoms but it just scares u wen u get fixated on a certain part of ur body cuz that's all u can feel nd think about I just hate doctors incase they said I had an illness that's why I get scared to go

OMG same here I'm suffering heart health anxiety I'm so scared I have a heart problem it's driving me nuts my heart is constant aching and in pain..

[samanthajayne24]

Yes embrace I feel the same. It's driving me mad. Because I have palpatations I have convinced myself there is something wrong xx

I have suffered the same concerns in the past but then something kinda hit me

I thought how many times am I going to feel these flutters in my heart before I realize NOTHING has ever happened from it?

Then it just stopped concerning me

So I still feel them every now and then. I just don't care anymore so I don't react.

I hope you all come to the same conclusion soon
