New fear? Atora rupturing. Yep.

[Grace360]

After hearing about an instance on Quora that can happen, someone overexerting themself and their aortic valve bursting and ending tragically, that's my new fear.
Overexerting myself to the point of bursting a major valve, and internally bleeding. Like Princess Diana.
On top of my other irrational fears for my age of 15! Like aneurysem, heart failure, certain cancers, getting poisoned, anthrax.

There is a small piece of connective tissue called the ligamentum arteriosum that connects the aorta to the pulmonary trunk. It is extremely unlikely that this ever tears but when it does which is very very unbelievably rare, it's because of an extreme car wreck where the body gets jostled around. Otherwise you have no, if zero chance of your aorta rupturing. You would have to have long term extremely high blood pressure for this to occur via pressure alone. It is extremely unlikely. You're ok, I promise!

Thank you so much. I really needed to hear that. Though I still hsve my fears of other things. Like anurysems, that scare the bee-jeezus out of me.

Oh yeah, well, it's all really scary stuff but the statistics are important when looking into these things. How old are you? Do you have high blood pressure? Family history of aneurysms?

I'm 15. No high blood pressure I know of. Family history? I don't know abour my dads side. But I don't think anybody has had one that I know of.

Ruke343 is absolutley correct. This is actually one of the leading causes of fatalities in major car accidents but almost never in normal day to day life. I realize the fear is real but while we never can be 100% sure what is going on in our bodies - I am about 99.9999% sure you have no reason to worry

I just read now you are so young grace.

it must be difficult to live with this anxiety at your age. Please, take the courage to go to a conselour and talk about it. I know at your age it's easy to feel ashamed, but i suggest you to confront you problem now, so you can live your youth at 100%

I have a therapist coming over in a few days. Slowly but surely, yes. I'm trying very hard to not think I have a brain tumor every second.

Do you have ANY symptoms of a brain tumor? Andif you do -were these symptoms there before you started worrying about it or afterwards?

It was an analogy overall, haha. I just worry about anything. Cancer, aneurysem, getting poisoned. I just know that cancers in general. Usually it's hard to see and diagnose. Or its too late. I've been zoning out a lot too.

 

[RobbyH]

Ok, understand. That is the way HA works - we never fear getting a hang nail or a cold or somethign simple - it is always a wrose case scenario disease.

Yes! And then when I even have the cold. I worry more and more.
