I am SOOOO pumped that I found you and your channel. I have been having such bad Anxiety and Panic Attacks for a while now. Started in 2016 with Panic Attacks and Agoraphobia which I let rule my life for quite a few years. I finally got my life back last year stepping out of my comfort zone. I went on quite a few work trips flying around to various parts of the Country with Zero issues. Then in August, BOOM, A panic attack while on a hike in Lake Tahoe. Since then, they have become more consistant. I notice them super frequently when I know I have to drive in the car for a long time. The further I drive the worst it gets. Now, I have developed what you have confirmed as Health Anxiety. I didnt even know what that was. I stopped working out because Im now scared for my heart rate to go up, and create a panic attack all from working out. This is a new one for me seeing as growing up, I was an athlete, raced BMX for many years. i am the only person that i know that lives with this chaos. i carry it with me everywhere I go and I hide it super well. And the worst part, I cant seam to find someone to help me. I know its all in my mind and it drives me crazy because i don't want these feelings, but they just show up, literally every single day. Sorry for the long post, but it felt good to just type it out in hopes someones eyes will see this with some good advice. Fingers crossed!!
Absolutely. Never had anxiety before in my life. Had a health scare 6 months ago and it’s been hell ever since. Doc’s threw me on Zoloft and that’s made my health anxiety worse because of the terrible side effects. I absolutely don’t know what to try next to try to feel better.
I’ve had health anxiety since my teens and I still struggle with it at 36. Sometimes I can stay on top of it and other times, like now, I feel like completely shutting down like the anxiety will just eat me up. My biggest worry is cancer. I have worried about every form of cancer that there is. I check my breasts obsessively and in my mind every sensation must mean something horrible. It doesn’t help that my anxiety causes a cold/tingling feeling in the left side of my breast/chest/arm/back. I can never really pin down where the feeling is coming from, but when anxiety amps up the sensation does too and that makes me worry which makes me more anxious and it’s a cycle that I repeat over and over again. I try to cope by trying to ignoring the anxiety and getting on with my day which is like having someone shouting your worst fears in your ear almost 24/7 and nobody else can hear or see him and I’m trying to act like nothing is wrong. It feels like a heroic act just getting through the day sometimes.
“Checking my color my wee was” you never cease to amaze me with how on point you are with what I’m going through when I think I’m the only one going through it
Ur channel has helped me so much. My name is lola madley and I'm 12 yrs old. I suffer with panic attacks and anxiety. Recently my great nan passed away from heart failure. And all I think now is. What if I have it?. People have reassured me many times yet I still didn't believe them. I went to the doctors not too long ago. And they said I was completely fine and Healthy and yet I still think I got it. But ur channel has genuinely saved me. You've helped me , you've made me feel like it's okay to feel these things in my body and that I'll get through it. I'm so grateful I've came across ur channel I cannot thank u enough ❤❤❤❤
This channel has been a blessing. As I type this I’m in the grips of it but I’m fighting back! I think the worst part about all of this is how we’re all going about our days having to contemplate/think about our mortality with these illnesses. It makes me mad knowing that here I am having to battle this uncertainty with my health while the next person over is maybe eating like crap or doesn’t exercise and probably enjoying their life… it’s one of the hardest parts and it angers me in a sense… but we will prevail. All of us!
I’ve been feeling this too and convinced myself of ALS. After a bad GI episode and then surgery (3 months at this point) I’ve been feeling “weak” and jittery and having dizzy spell. Hoping this is from the constant adrenaline rushes for the months on end.
I have an eye twitch for over 2 weeks trying to ignore it but my over anxious brain is thinking what if it never goes what if, the what ifs are so cruel and zap joy. I feel for everyone that has an anxious personality, I have had it most of my life on and off. Thank you for your channel and support ❤
Praying a lot and watching your videos really helped me, my anxiety was at a 10 3 weeks ago now I’ll say its a 2 😌 so thank you for that! And I haven’t googled my symptoms since either but my brain still can’t forget what i read😩 but I’ve calmed down a lot
Ahhh having such a hard morning from not sleeping. Needed to hear this. Doing all the right things but anxiety symptoms are hanging out. Take this as a sign since I was having a meltdown
you’ll get through this, trust me. i thought i wasn’t going to and look at me now! just remember, as hard and unbelievable as it is, it’s all in your head. worrying about something won’t change a thing, so what’s the point? live and love your life and don’t let those thoughts win! you got this 😘
My health anxiety was triggered in December last year when I got the results of my abdomen ct. I am 64. I suddenly realized that I‘m not going to live forever .Up to that point I’ve never experienced anything like it, never had any serious illnesses in my life and never gave much thought to them. Now, 3 months later, I’m a nervous wreck, only able to get a few hours of sleep with the help of meds. Brain feels like mushed potatoes , my nervous system like a battle field, hardly able to get through the routines of the day. Thank you for your tips , they help me to understand what this hell is all about and how to overcome it.
It’s been so hard since November for my HA, had to go through CRAZY stressful and traumatic situations. Had all this crazy symptoms like dizziness, headaches, pressure in my head, but it passed in a month or so. In my life I always had a twitch in my thumb, randomly, it happened one time and then stopped and I would continue my life normally. Then, on January I had it again but it made my whole arm feel weird for two weeks. It spreaded to the other arm and legs, this jelly feeling. Everything passed besides a tight feeling in my thumb, that I massaged one day and it passed again. Now, I have a tight feeling in my wrist, index and the thumb as well!! Also, a month ago I started having this very fast twitches, they are not repetitive, they happen once and then move to another place or just stop for some hours, I just feel them, usually I can’t see the contraction. This and the tight feeling in my hand has been driving me crazy!!! I’m only twenty years old 😢
Exercise and get closer to God my dukes that’s all that matters. Drink water as well if you’re gonna die which you obviously aren’t you should give yourself the assurance that heaven is the goal. I suffered this in the past for almost 2 years name it all I been through it but God helped me
Most of our anxiety are caused by physical harm that happened in childhood, and now we are stuck in fear because we think that harm is still happening. The solution is to learn self-defense in order to convince the subconscious mind that I am at peace.
When does doing things to self soothe become a compulsion? Is there a difference between doing things to help manage your symptoms Vs doing things to stop the feelings?
I have extreme health anxiety which led me to be fed through tube I now recently have been showing symptoms of FND and my anxiety has gone through the roof I have no idea if it’s real or just anxiety it’s killing me off 😢💔
I never had any anxiety until perimenopause hit me now I feel like I have health anxiety and ocd anxiety general anxiety everything all rolled into one I don’t know what my hormones are causing and what anxiety is causing it’s just horrible. I can’t take any medication either I don’t really know what to do I’m on a wait list for therapy but it’s over a year wait feels like a lifetime away xx
It won’t go until you stop worrying about it. I had nausea for 4 months and I’m fine now cause I stopped giving a fuck. It’s hard but if I can do it, you can :)
I've developed anxiety around eating because I lost my appetite and felt nauseous. It's starting to melt away at long last (since mid January) because I got fed up of panicking and ate whether I felt like it or not because I need food. So although I don't have the answer, I guess what worked is just stamping out the voice that's telling you to panic (making you feel nauseous)
I feel little discomfort and tightness or you can say feeling of being overwhelmed in the upper stomach, after jaundice, although got multiple tests including complete blood CBC report that was accurate, LFTS that was accurate, but the searches and google youtube , convinces me that i have C***** , and this horrific thought gives me anxiety, today I went to doctor he also said no medicine for such thing but my brain convinces something is wrong with me! Why! I get panic attacks, sometimes the feeling gets normal but sometimes it starts again! I fear to neglect this feeling . I am not in my control! What should I do?
Do you ever deal with clients who have constant heart palpitations? After multiple miscarriages I started having palpitations, was checked out a couple times, told I was fine, but I do not feel fine. I'm terrified to leave my house in case I fee heart flutters or skipped beats or I drop dead. I've been going through this for 5 years and it's not getting any better as time goes on. It's really scary and so mentally draining!!
If it helps in any way, I have had heart palpitations and tachycardia on and off for 2 years now... Lately, it's been more often than not. Every doctor I go to ends up recommending me anxiety relief treatment and they say there is nothing physically wrong with me. Prior to this, I was in an abusive relationship, then I moved on my own and got a mortgage by myself. I suppose it's chronic stress because of all I have been through. It frustrates me that I can't be as tough as others are. I am planning on taking up therapy sessions. Best of luck to you in your own journey!
I feel like edibles really amplify symptoms especially because we tend to notice more things while under the influence. I really started noticing more things when I would have an edible and it just made my health anxiety so much worse. I used to use them to help me but it was making everything extreme and chaotic and I had to cut it out entirely. I’m not cured but it’s helped me so much.
Hi Cherelle, im interested in having some one on one sessions with you in regard to my health anxiety but I just wanted to clarify something with you first, do you have an email address ?
since more than 15 days I had found a small lump behind my collar bone It is soft and often move much when I touch it ..I am so much tensed about it .I have shown it to my parents but they told me its not lump its just muscle or fat but I feel it like lump...they are not taking it serious but I do take...I am 18 years old ..in two months my competitive exams are coming .I am unable to focus on my studies . what should I do ..can anyone suggest..please😢
I'm so sorry you're going through all this worry. It is absolutely understandable that you need some reassurance about this from your doctor. At 18 you are allowed to make an appointment and take yourself along. If need be, you can tell your parents matter-of-factly that you are still concerned and that it makes sense to you to get checked out. Then you'll be able to focus on your studies and I'm sure that's what they'd want for you along with your peace of mind. Good luck with everything and big hugs. ❤🇨🇦
It’s been 2 months now with als bulbar symptoms.. so tires.. started with my voice, and then swallowing and now im suddenly slurring Words and having a lisp.. How long did u have slurred words when you were anxious of bulbar?
Does anyone other than you hear your speech and voice problems? If not, describing them as real when in all likelihood you're imagining them will trigger people. Perceived trouble swallowing is also super common in HA.
I would have liked this video, but I found it 4 weeks after it was posted with 444 existing likes . . . so I made sure I didn't touch anything. LOL 😮😵💫😵💫😖😖

My symptoms go away and the next day I get something else. Health anxiety sucks
