hypochondria

Hello all, I am new to the thread and just wanted to share my experience so far with this. For the past 4 months I have been dealing with the feeling of having serious health issues that doctors are not finding. I have felt weak, I have had muscles aches and weakness, major headaches, major...

The last few days i have been having a trembling and vibrating feeling in my body again. I experienced this same symptom a couple of months ago but it hasn't happened in awhile and now it's back. I even wrote about it on here once before. It basically feels like my body (particularly my legs)...

Hi all, This is my first post on here. I've had health anxiety for as long as I can remember now, especially emetophobia. Today I had probably one of the worst HA days in a long time. It started with a headache, which normally wouldn't worry me so much, but recently there's been an outbreak of...

Hi, I am a 29 year old male and for the past 3 years I've been dealing with some debilitating symptoms that are persistent day in and day out. I always start focusing and reading too much into what my body is doing. For instance if I get a sinus infection in my mind it's meningitis or the...

Hey guys, I’m pretty new. I really should’ve thought about joining an anxiety forum years ago when all of this first started, maybe then I wouldn’t feel so crazy and thoroughly convinced I am dying (once again). I’ve gone through an ALS scare, several cancer scares, brain tumor scares, stroke...

It seems like I get a new symptom everyday. I'm sent into a full panic attack from tiny things (mosquito bites, thinking my food tastes a little bit funny, etc.) and my face goes numb and it feels like I'm on the verge of fainting every time. this happens multiple times a day now and it gets in...

Hi guys I have been suffering with anxiety for some years now. I had my biggest panic attack 4 weeks ago and since then i have been in and out of ED with more panic attacks and high state of anxiety. My first panic attack 4 weeks ago consisted of Numbness, leg weakness and more of the common...

Big hello from New Zealand to my fellow anxiety warriors. I have suffered from anxiety (predominantly health anxiety) for half my life which sounds like a lot however i'm only 24. The past month has been extremely difficult for me and im nearing my wits end with suicide becoming a more and...

I joined this community - like many of you - to simply to get some health related reassurance, guidance, support, etc. I've experienced severe health anxiety through most of my childhood and adult life. Sometimes, depending on what's going on in my life, it isn't as bad. Other times, it's...

I feel really dizzy, and it’s been getting worse throughout the day but I have a lot of back problems and had surgery last July on my spine so I think it’s from my back. But my anxiety keeps acting up making me think it’s my heart and I’m gonna die. I can’t take it anymore; I feel terrible and...

for years i have been taking meds and stuff in my childhood for adhd anxiety and depression i felt fine so i stopped taking my meds for about a year but about three weeks ago i noticed my anxiety was very bad and i was having panic attacks when normally i would be fine i would sorry that every...

So I am a hypochondriac otherwise I wouldn't be on this site, and there have been a number of conditions i thought i had that now seem ridiculous to me. But this seems to the scariest and hardest to get over. I am genuinely concerned that I might have MS or something and nobody is taking me...

Today I was at my boyfriends parents house and he's been having a rat problem in his walls and attic for a while now This horrible smell has been filling the house since yesterday and I'm not sure what it is and where its coming from but my boyfriend had been telling me its prob rat poop in the...

Hey everyone, I'm a 16-year-old girl who has had severe hypochondria for over 3 years now. Every day I google my symptoms over 20 times and diagnose myself with around 5 new diseases every day. My whole life I have been struggling with mental illness. I was diagnosed with OCD at age 6. I also...

my grandma has COPD and my mom spends a significant time in the hospital with her. Recently, they moved my grandma to a respiratory center. My mom was sick for like 2 weeks with some kind of repository problem more than a month ago and she got her friend sick too because she was staying at her...

So, I have quite a history with HA. In my very early 20's it was so bad, I ended up on NBC news via satellite because I was 100% convinced I had like 18 different types of cancer. Anyway, it's gone away for the most part, I'm almost 30 but old habits die hard. Like googling :D I've had chronic...

Hi, Since Tuesday I've been having this pain under my right rib, its pressure and aching that would get severe at times. I have IBS so I contributed the pain to that. Over the last few days I've upped my probiotics and fiber and throughout the pain I never had any loose stools or constipation...

Hi, I'm 21 and for a year now meningitis fear has taken over my life. I first discovered Meningitis because I was learning about it in my biopsychology class, unfortunately I had seen it in multiple commercials before and it even popped up on my youtube feed for the commercials to get vaccinated...

Good Afternoon! I've had sort of a strange thing going on lately, and I wanted to see if anybody could relate. I'm a well-seasoned hypochondriac, and I've worried about having everything from testicular cancer, to AIDS, to brain tumors. I've noticed that whenever my hypochondria is at its...

Hey All, About a month ago I had some physical symptoms that caused me to go to Urgent care once (frequent urination) and to the ER once (nausea) Since then I have had weekly doctors appointments for various symptoms (first I thought I had MS, now I think I have a brain tumor) after eventually...
