health anxiety

Currently scared about colon illness possibilities. Need some relief from people who were in the same boat, some symptoms they had. Going to doctor soon

Been doing better with accepting that I have health anxiety as of the last day or so. I’m 15 and just got an appointment scheduled for Sat with a therapist. Today at school wasn’t so great though. This was my first time having a gym class in about a week due to schedules. With my heart fear I...

I have health anxiety, had an two EKGs, a chest x-ray, and a blood test that have all come back clean in the last 36 days. Super conscious about heart. Notice that it gets fast after meals, and I feel what I can only describe as uneasy feeling. Really cold feet and hands. Makes it hard to accept...

So I’m a guy, 15 years old. I had my first anxiety attack on Jan 11 so I’ve been dealing with this chronic stress for about a month. When it originally happened I was tested with two EKG tests and a chest x-ray, and blood test which all came out clean. However, since the tests and the doctors...

I haven’t felt that good the last few days and it’s probably a bug or something but obviously having health anxiety it’s causing me mixed emotions right now. I can’t stop crying cause I’m trying not to freak out over my symptoms and I just want them gone already and I just really hate going...

I’m at a little get together and I’m feeling weird, super nauseous and head feels weird and I’m lightheaded and hot & sweaty and it’s freaking me out a lot and making me panic and I think I’m having an anxiety attack . Idk what to do. I’m not in the comfort of my own home to manage it better. Help.

I was wearing my AirPods a lot for a couple days and I didn’t wear them yesterday or today and I still feel like they are in my ears and it’s super annoying and causing me to have anxiety because it’s not going away. Also, my head is feeling weird and my legs feel wobbly when I walk and I’m...

My chest feels weird, my heart is racing, I’m nauseous, my head & eyes feel weird and I’m hot & sweaty. It’s all freaking me out and this is how my anxiety gets triggered by this kind of stuff happening. I went and looked at myself in the mirror and thought I looked pale so it went down hill...

I was scrolling through my Facebook and noticed a post that said people who are/have stressed/burned out/depression/exhaustion are at risk for a stroke or heart attack because the all that adrenaline going through your bloodstream can cause your heart to go out of whack and what not. Now I’m...

hi well mine started when my current bf had some wounds on his penis it was months into the relationship and he was a virgin before me it ended up being wounds because of the rubbing on his pants. so we paniced and since then i have a horrible fear of having std's and other sickness lately too...

So today I decided to go to urgent care because of the stomach pains and stuff I’m been having and turns out I have a UTI, which I got a kidney infection 2 years ago which started my whole severe health anxiety stuff, so this is making me extremely worried and making me freak out. The medication...

I’m feeling really hot & sweaty/clammy, and my head feels weird and my eyes and I feel lightheaded and nauseous. It’s making me worried because Idk if it’s my anxiety causing it or not. It’s all freaking me out.

So, I’ve been super nauseous the last few days but being nauseous is a regular for me because of my anxiety, so I can’t tell the difference and I’m scared to look up stuff and get my anxiety going even more. But i think I could possibly have the flu or getting the flu. I’ve been super nauseous...

Hey everyone, I'll try to make this brief but I just need to put this out here, because honestly I feel literally like the only one who's dealt with what I'm dealing with. If you have any time to read and reply I would be forever grateful. I'm a 38 year old male. Mid November I had a horrific...

Hello, I'm new to this forum, but not to anxiety. I was formally diagnosed with GA several years ago, but I've been dealing with the various symptoms for as long as I can remember. For context, I'm a (I assume) generally healthy 35 year old, with no history of significant medical issues. For...

Hello. I have neglected writing about this for far too long. It is time to shed some light so others struggling will have peace of mind knowing they are not alone, and there are people you can talk to. My name is Jay. I am 19, an American male college student and general consensus claims I am...

Hello, I’m Kayla! I’m 20 years old and for the last 2 years I’ve been dealing with some sort of anxiety/depression. 2 years ago I got a kidney infection and that was when my anxiety started. I have had a ton of physical symptoms such as lightheadedness, bad nausea, chest pains, fast heart rate...

This is my first time posting so I hope I do this right lol. I’ve dealt with anxiety my whole life and up until about 6 months ago it’s been on a whole other level. 6 months ago I moved 8 hours away with my boyfriend, away from my family. He works and I do not, so I am home alone most of the...

I have thought I had mouth or throat cancer for a couple weeks now. I have cobblestone throat (possibly from nasal and dryness issues) and bite my cheeks accidentally so have some spots on my cheeks from that. Both of those convince me that I have cancer. Today I coughed up some phlegm and it...
