Constant head and body aches

[Dan620]

Hi, I'm a 23 year old lad, been struggling for a while now and kind of reached out to this as I'm not really sure what to do. Constantly worried about my health to the point where I obsessively fixate over specific areas that are aching, or seem abnormal. I constantly google even though I know I shouldn't which started this whole thing! but I really don't know if I can cope with this every day. Iv had aches in my arms that come and go, nagging cough, dizziness and just generally feeling really low and I can't focus on anything else. It bothers me most that my girlfriend gets worried about me sometimes but I don't want to worry her any more if I'm constantly going on about it. Anyways I don't really know how this sight works I just needed a platform to talk in some way, hope everyone is having a better day. Would be great to talk with anyone

Cheers

Hi and welcome Dan620. Sure sounds like you've got all of the trappings of Health Anxiety. Have you checked on getting any medication or some professional help?

Hi! Thankyou for the reply I really appreciate it, Iv been to the doctors and he wasn't very helpful at all, just told me to come back in a few weeks if I was still feeling the same but it's been a few months. Worried to go back cause I'm scared incase there is something wrong with me, are there any other ways to get professional help?
