Hypochondriasis UNLEASHED: How Health Anxiety is Triggered | Dr. Rami Nader
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- In health anxiety or hypochondriasis, a person usually has a number of factors that predispose them to developing health anxiety. Things like negative past experiences with health, leading to inflexible or inaccurate health rules or assumptions that predispose a person to develop health anxiety or hypochondriasis. This predisposition to health anxiety or hypochondriasis lays dormant in a person until their health anxiety gets triggered. There are two main types of health anxiety triggers: internal triggers, things like noticing a change in heart rate, ringing in your ears, stomach distress, fluctuations in energy level; and external triggers, things like hearing about someone who is been diagnosed with a serious illness, news stories about various diseases, having an upcoming medical appointment. Internal and external triggers can work together to ignite the underlying, dormant hypochondriasis, resulting in a massive increase in worry and anxiety about health. This is how health anxiety or hypochondriasis gets triggered. Future videos will explore factors that maintain high levels of hypochondriasis and worries about health.

So thankful to see a new health anxiety video, up. It’s been one thing after the other the last two months.
So many topics, so little time. Glad you found this helpful.
My problem is pain all over my body, especially my leg muscles. It started with anxiety attacks... but got worse after some sleep deprivation. Now its been 5 or 6 weeks of daily pain. Doctors had previously given ne a very thorough vheck up. So, I believe its anxiety as many of them suggested. I'm praying and trying to relax.
Its anxiety, and our brains "learn" to make the symptoms stick around or even get worse until we unlearn this BS story. These things happen, but we are fine. Hope you are doing well with relaxing.
Really appreciate the health anxiety videos. I used to find it very difficult finding help on this debilitating disorder.
Hello from Sweden and thanks for making these videos. I’ve had it difficult since the pandemic. But managed to get up and running again for a while. Last September I got tinnitus and after that my anxiety has been spiraling. After 5months waiting I’m going to see a specialist this Thursday. Hope is high, but scared that they won’t be able to help me.
Everyday I wake up, I have the same thoughts throughout the Day. "I have something wrong with me, I am going to Die an Early Death/I will never live a full and prosperous life and do what I want to do" This all comes after a scary experience which had me in and out of the Hospital. Though I got a clean bill of Health and ALL ORGANS were in PERFECT functional order, and nothing was wrong with Blood Tests, these thoughts have gotten ever so louder over time. It is a very heavy weight to carry daily.
Thank you for this video. Have been going through pretty intense ALS anxiety for a few years, glad to see new videos on the topic.
Glad you found it helpful!
I'm no doctor, but after a few years ALS would be impossible to miss and you should know for sure if you have it or not. It's so unlikely!
I feel that dr Nader contributes a lot to people who suffer from mental illnesses. It is for them of great value to understand his professional vision of so many topics. And by doing this also he might offer a tool for adressing their problems. Understanding and recognising these items are really very valuable. thank you very much!
Hi Hans, that's the entire point of this channel, so I'm glad you have found the videos helpful.
Bless this dr for his videos. Just his voice is calming and reassuring. He explains it so well
Glad you found it helpful!
I wish there would be a health anxiety professional accepting online counseling for people around the world whom have extremely limited or nil access to this type of therapy.
Even though this isn't a replacement for therapy, my hope is that some of this information will be therapeutic for people.
@@DrRamiNader true, but is different when its personal and not generalized.
Anyways, thank you so much for your videos.
This is so meeee!!!
Before a simple highblood pressure is so worrying me. Like I had it. Then the 2nd worrying me is a heart disease. Like I want all test for heart i want to do it. To ensure I dont have heart disease. Then NOWWWW.. OMG I AM REALLY WORRIED ABOUT KIDNEY DISEASE. !!!! than had cancer. Because kidney disease is another silent killer. I dont wanna be on dialysis. It scares me alot. Like Im going to die after doing that . Like if I get on dialysis My lifespan will decrease and DIE EARLY. Its very scary for me. Like I want to be healthy as I can. I wanna get old. Like 85-90yrs old or much more like 100+
Looking forward to the next video!
Mine started with burning mouth. Lost everything even pulled teeth. I cant even get dentures. Im terrified and exhausted. Lost three members of family to suicide . Its getting so bad I cant take it.
Having long Covid causes mine , I’m still 100% convinced my heart is failing but they just don’t see it.
Hey rami i stopped obssesing but suddendly i experience random racing thoughts what can i do to stop that
Hi Pero - I'm sorry, but I can't give individual advice online.
Pero, look up acceptance and commitment psychology. When your thoughts are racing, try to take a break and focus on something in your surroundings. Like a pattern on the wall, try to really focus on how that pattern looks, what’s it made of? How do you think the pattern feels if it has texture? Close your eyes and try to see the pattern, play with your thought. How was it made ? Does it have a smell ? Are there any other pattern you can see? Any colorful flower?
Anyways look it up, it can be really helpful to try and get back to the “now”
@@MagicMilbow Thanks for the advice i heard for that method maybe it would work but i dont think i would really think about everything i see i heard if you have lower stress and dont pay that much attetion it would go away
@@MagicMilbow i got that when i was trying to sleep i had it before to but i didint pay that much attetion to it so it went to away but now i got really scared off it and now i have it for a month straight every day
@@MagicMilbow i Had alot of ocd obssesions before
Omg. It’s like he’s inside my head 🙉🙉
