@@TrasheyeGym depends on what you believe that happens after death, it may be permanent for you body, but for your soul it could be non existent or temporary
I’m 17 and struggle everyday with health anxiety. Any body pain I feel I think the worst thing it’s so exhausting. No matter what I do I always convince myself I’m physically ill and I’m so terrified all the time. It has changed my life entirely because my brain convinces itself that I have cancer or something else that is also serious. I pray I won’t feel this way forever and I hope any of u that struggle with this feel better. We got this. ❤️
I'm in the exact same position as you, it is so exhausting. Even when my doctor tells me that I'm perfectly healthy and needn't worry about anything, I still feel anxious about it! It's awful, I've been trying to control it, some days are better and some are worse but I believe I can do it. Hope you feel better soon, your anxiety does not define you ❤
@@v-logs1695 i know the question wasn’t directed at me but i struggled with health anxiety a for a long time (and still kind of do) and these are some things that helped me: i started doing yoga and meditating to calm myself down, i read or dance or sing or whatever i feel like doing when i’m anxious, i go on walks if it’s too bad and it helps a lot, i also write about my anxieties, that was probably the biggest game changer for me. if i feel any symptom i think “if this doesn’t go away in 1/2 weeks i’ll talk to my doctor but i’ll try not to worry in the meantime”, this “postpones” your anxiety, if it’s a “real symptom” (couldn’t find a better word for it) it might persist, if it’s just my anxiety it’ll, most of the time, go away when i’m relaxed. also, NEVER google your symptoms, if you are seriously worried talk to a trusted medical professional, google will only tell you you are doomed because that’s the kind of answer that gets the most clicks. if you can, you should also try to talk to a therapist, talking to mine about this helped so much! sorry if this is too long, but i hope it helps. know you are not alone in this!
The most frustrating thing for me, is how I can go hours and hours without thinking of it at all. Then, the second I stop and try to tell myself “Look, it’s all in your head. You forgot about it and lived life normally nearly all day. You’re fine!” it starts again. I KNOW it’s in my head, but when the pain or whatever starts, there’s nothing I can say to make myself believe it. It’s too real, and it’s always when I’m alone.
I have a feeling self talk is the biggest step in this process, it’s so hard to self-soothe when you genuinely are scared and start the domino effect of this condition. I always try to treat myself as the child version of myself, mainly so I practice compassion more than anything. It’s difficult but worth it
Im just 24 but struggling from past 4 years...though it is managebale im really worried, but seeing these many comments i would feel that im not at all alone with these symptoms...Lets come out of this soon and live our lives back❤
For the past few months I've been having daily panic attacks and just anxiety in general because for some reason I can't get my mind off of the idea that I could have a heart attack, cardiac arrest, stroke, anurysm at any time. I'm only 29. And im terrified.
Same thing it started during a loryngitis where I could not eat and my throat felt full of something so I also had trouble breathing. Now even when it's passed I still have this feeling and it's causing me to get anxiety and feeling short of breath. Its going on for 3 weeks now and I'm so tired of it. I noticed during the day it's a lot less since you are busy so it does confirm it's all in my head.
This is me also. I just turned thirty two months ago and think this is a worse age crisis like I’ve never expected. And I’m convinced suddenly that every bite of food I take will help or cause an attack. So I barely eat. But when I’m having a good day and distracted and dare to eat something fried or sweet, it will trigger the anxiety again and I spend all night thinking an attack is coming. I’m afraid to take the stairs or do push ups in case it triggers something, but also not exercising causes it too. There’s no way to win and it feels awful.
@@semkn9555 that's what I'm going through rote now it always comes at night or when I'm driving. I used to love driving now i hate the thought of it bit I have things to do and it's so scary for me
@@vanessaorozco9035 yh it's so tough. It's going better for me now. What helped me was a good sleeping routine and eating healthy to feel good. Having positive thoughts and not focusing on breathing also really helped but that's the hardest part. You can also try magnesium and b12 to fight the anxiety. Hope you feel better soon
i am going through the same thing and here is my advice to everyone concerned. meditate atleast 10 mins when u wake up n before sleep. jog, sprint and walk for atleast an hour everyday. acceptance is the key. accept whatever is happening to you and just learn to live with it eventually u'll get used to it and forget. muscle buildng exercise helped me alot with this. take magnesium n improve sleep. eat healthy and loose some body fat. learn a language take classes for me it was japanese
Being a cancer survivor spiked my health anxiety, but I found a few things that work fairly well: - Daily journaling about my worries and perceived symptoms - Mindfulness Meditation - Annual physicals for nothing in particular - Checking back with symptoms I've documented and seeing that they have no gotten worse (usually they've disappeared) - Noting the correlation of health anxiety with just overall stressors in life (one tends to lead to another) I hope that helps! -
Sorry I'm struggling with health anxiety and I'm terrified of cancer, could please give your age? And what cancer? Sorry if I'm being rude, I'm looking for first hand information
I read some comments and from this I understand that the symptoms are very similar. I had panic attacks which I actually already had but they got worse after a month of ear infections. I went into a strong depression for 3 months and stopped eating, I lost 20 kilos in 3 months. As someone has already written, I too was afraid of eating, I was afraid that I was allergic to some ingredient or that I would suffocate. I didn't do physical activity for fear that my heart would speed up and I'd have a heart attack. It all stems from the fact that I saw my grandparents die before my eyes, both young, my grandmother from an aneurysm (I'm terrified of it) and my grandfather from cancer and low self-esteem for which I think I'm weak. But something changed in me, I thought I couldn't stay this long, that wasn't life. I went to a psychologist, now I wake up early, I have my routine, I journal regularly and I have good habits with a healthy diet. Even today I suffer from anxiety, and when I have some symptoms, even just fever or red eyes or burst capillaries (I work a lot on the PC), I get scared. But now there are no longer those strong panic attacks, little by little I'm taking my life back. However, I understood that everything is linked to the fear of dying and the awareness that we are passing through here. But precisely for this reason I want to live a joyful existence and not be a slave to fear. It's a lot of work on yourself but it has to be done, otherwise you can't live anymore. So I'm sending you lots of good vibes, let's actually strengthen each other! We are strong, we are healthy, we are safe and protected! So much faith in ourselves and in the universe.
Dizziness is the worst part. Its worse than body tremors, dry mouth, nausea, palpitations etc... Because its the most debilitating. Being dizzy is the one that prevented me from leaving the house.
See for me I can handle that one easy it the nausea and belly pains .and heart palpitations..one night it was beating fast in my sleep I get up and take my BP and it was high along with my heart rate.i message a friend think I'm gonna go the er..she said calmness down it anxitey it gonna read high I broken-down took some meds and listen to my meditation videos told her it u havent heard from ne in 15 mins then inl feel asl33p it worked
Seing the comments is very reassuring. Knowing thst you are not the only one to think you will have a stroke, a heart attack, a cancer or other doseases that I'm not going to tell you, because otherwise I'll give you ideas (been there with least 5 more diseases). I think I'm getting better now, it's been 3 years dealing with it. Not googling it is number 1 step
If you are watching because you are struggling you do get better - i promise. This video is really helpful, give something a go a few times and see what helps for you ✌️
I’m 24. 3 years ago I had a bad panic attack while my buddy was driving me home so we go to the ER. Hot flashes, my entire body went tingly. I couldn’t move my tongue or my hands. I thought I was having a stroke.. I get hooked up to an EKG at ER and nurse tells me I have a cardiac arrhythmia. This freaks me out. I see a heart doctor two weeks later and he says I’m completely fine, that my test looks normal, just anxiety.. ever since that day I’ve had severe anxiety. Lately it’s my left side of my head and neck that hurt, I feel like I’m going to have a heart attack or an aneurysm. It scares me so badly and I feel like I bother everyone in my family too much about it. I seem to have something different wrong with me every single month. I pray that I can get through this and live a great and healthy life rid of anxiety 🙏 I pray for everyone in a similar condition
I got anxiety induced arrhythmia tonight. It’s really difficult mentally dealing with the feeling of your heart stopping for a couple seconds then just continuing. Then stopping. And obviously worrying just makes it worse
I had a similar incident happen to me. As usual, my tests came out normal and the doctor didn't feel the need to put me through more tests because he knew I was having a panic attack. Honestly, some days are amazing and some are the worst. It's exhausting having such negative thoughts. It's actually crazy how many physical symptoms anxiety can make you go through. I pray that you can go through this and anything that comes at you. 🙏✨
Anxiety is just temporary thing When you are anxious just observe what is happening or try to ignore then anxiety will automatically come down. I tried it helped me lot.
I don't know I am always afraid of getting cancer, if it is a lower back pain, I feel my kidneys are damaged, if my left chest hurts with left arm, I feel I am about to get a heart attack soon. God please save us 🙏 even if I am fine, these negative thoughts make my condition worsened. 😓😓😓
God bless You my friend, I know what you feel and you are not alone I have the same fears. Sending you love across the planet and hope we heal from this anxiety/hypocondria and live a life filled with true peace and true love. Hugs💜
I’ve suffered from health anxiety for years but was able to manage it. Recently it’s gotten unmanageable and I’ve been struggling. But a few days ago I just got my first huge panic attack where I became extremely dizzy and I thought I was going to pass out or die. Because of that, it spiked my anxiety even more and I’ve struggled every day since then. Getting dizzy at random times and being scared to leave the house or drive. It’s gotten better slowly every day with mindfulness and meditation, but it’s been debilitating these last few days. I found these videos from your hypnosis on health anxiety and they’ve really helped. Thank you!
If anyone reads this, just know I’m in the same boat as you are and we will beat this. This condition will no longer have control over our lives. If you believe in Christ, pray to him to set you free.
I can't tell my relief in words after listening to your video .. and how much I could relate to this .I was struggling from last two year tried everything but couldn't figure out what is wrong with me .. my doctors my reports said I was alright but I was not fully satisfied ended up doing so many test and admitted to hospitals for diffrent problem always thinking that there is some thing major going on in my body.. but after listening to your video ... I got my answer that what exactly I am suffering from .This video made me emotional that some actually understood me after so many years . Thank you so much I think it's universes way to show me the right path that today to googling about my symptoms and I ended up to this video I cant express this in word that how light I fell today ... Thank you so much again 🙏 Pov Sorry for such a lengthy comment but wanted to show all gratitude toward this wonderful video
Im glad my video helped. Have a look at some of the others in my health anxiety playlist. ua-cam.com/play/PLLLHgjmNNVTF5PT0N3sTulqL2JOfggva5.html They go into more depth about how to use CBT to reduce health anxiety.
That’s exactly what I have been through for the last two years. Mine is about blood pressure check when anxious, it goes higher and when I don’t check am thinking what if the pressure is took high and I don’t know. Vicious cycle continue. Thanks for the information
If you are struggling with blood pressure anxiety my 2 videos on that subject may help ua-cam.com/video/p4PGQDATZvM/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/0sKUMR1JLZE/v-deo.html
Ever since i got those high blood pressure readings due to anxiety, i get so nervous whenever the bp machine is put on me. My heart begins to race and eventually my bp is high. How do I get rid of the fear of the bp machine? Thanks
Bro i got this for 4 years straight literally everytime i feel pain in my chest brain etc i check my blood pressure its getting really exhausting all my times being wasted on how if i had something wrong.. my prayers for every struggler
I have tried everything!!! My health anxiety is debilitating. It's non stop in my head every waking hour. I'm terrified and have convinced myself I have ALS. But I can't see a neurologist until February. I don't know what to do anymore
very useful - but what if you have a symptom that doctors can't explain which is also very uncomfortable? I am sure that all of my previous symptoms were anxiety but now my eyes are in pain..I suspect anxiety caused the problem, but I don't know how to address it.
Can excess mucus in the throat be an anxiety symptom. Iv had it for a while, I am constantly swallowing, not a minute in the day I don’t know when I am swallowing. I get globus every so often but I when I calm it goes, but the mucus feeling remains. I can’t see the mucus, I can’t spit it out. I just don’t know if it’s there or it’s my mind. I am anxious and have suffered with health anxiety my whole life. My doctor says it’s nothing sinister but I find it hard to believe! It’s taking over my life.
@@andrewhaugen7865 I have the same issue, salivating when I vape - have dealt with this my whole life, I know the feeling. I wish everyone here strength, if people do not suffer with it, they will never know how awful it is to live like this everyday.
The worst part for me are palpitations. Those are my biggest fear and it always happens - palpitations, sweating, chills. When will I know if it's real or not?
It is difficult to know if symptoms are anxiety or not and there is always that fear that it could be something more sinister. I made this video to help with this problem. It shows a tool used in CBT to help people rationalise their symptoms and make decisions about their health. ua-cam.com/video/2qkz70kC7PE/v-deo.html
Definitely feel this. One or two things appear and I just get to googling. Then I find something that almost matches then I try to convince myself I have that. I hate it so bad. Want to go to doctor to always be safe then at the same time terrified. I suffer with anxiety which was bad about 2 summers ago. I was okay after then it had passed then COVID came and currently I feel it coming back. Then feels like I can’t talk to no one because they would say I’m just over thinking or nothing is wrong. That just makes me feel worse. I hope for the best and feel better I’m not the only one dealing with this.
The illustration for #9; worry postponement genuinely made me laugh out loud. Love the person talking to the brain! Thank you for this video and a like for you!
Anyone else hyperventilate and feel like they’re gonna pass out? My muscles and hands Tense up and get sleepy. Like pins n needles. I’ve been to the ER many times because of this and they give me the clear every time…
I am strugling for this ..almost 1year already and now i fully understand .. this illness take my happiness my will my love to my self .. so hard but i learned how to accept it and trying to deal with it..
The anxiety cycle can start with a thought feeling or physical symptom and its often very difficult to work out where it did start because people who suffer anxiety are constantly in the anxiety cycle which keeps going around and around.
The anxiety cycle is just accurate af and is what I'm feeling right now. I know I'm stress, there's an upcoming licensure exam and I moved in a new place in which there's going to be a lot of adjustments. The thing is whenever I'm feeling some symptoms like headache or some stomach discomfort, i couldn't help but think that it might be something serious and my heart palpitates and i get more anxious, then my breathing increases thinking that i might have breathing problem, till i feel like I'm gonna have a heart attack and die any moment or something! 😵😵😵 What made it worse sometimes is the fact that I'm working in healthcare so I don't need to google symptoms cuz i know what they are and I'm already thinking a worse case scenario! 😵 I know symptoms that needs medical emergency and i know I'm not feeling those, i know that I'm just over reacting and it's jist my anxiety but it still SUCKSS cuz i can't help it. I think it triggered when i almost lost my dad 2yrs ago of covid. I was far away and too anxious of what could've happened and I'm not there. Then it came to me that what if i got sick and die and I'm not gonna be with my family. My health anxiety just grows from there. I used to have health anxiety before but not this worse. Sometimes it just creeps out just out of nowhere then boom! My day is ruined, so as my sleep! Thanks for this video like it literally shuts my anxiety down. I was anxious since yesterday and it's suffocating. I'll try to do these exercises! Sending love to all my fellow hypochondriac people! We can beat this! ❤️❤️❤️
I live in the UK and my family is in Canada so I can empathise with you around worrying that something will happen to you and you can't be with them. That is a genuine concern, but it really only enters my mind when I'm experiencing health anxiety.
I could read my life in your comment..... This is exactly what's happening to me, I constantly get panic attacks thinking something might happen to me although I know it's just in my mind, I try to console myself that is it happens I have to fight through it..... Due to my anxiety I started developing digestive problems and that trigger my anxiety even more I hope this helps me as well Wishing good health to you and your family ❤️🩹
This is 100 percent what's happening with me. My health anxiety has gotten extremely worse since I lost my father and uncle to covid. It's really ruining my life and I don't know what to do about it.
Am from India and i want to thank you form my bottom of my heart. cause in my 3 year of anxiety and depression journey i did not find any video which will match 100% with my situation ..its help me a lot its like a medicines to mee
I am in healthcare I see things all the time they say that people in the medical field are the worst patients lol. I have severe medical anxiety I saw my best friend die from cancer since then I haven’t been the same . I had a gastritis flare up after 18 years which of course will trigger my anxiety thinking I had stomach cancer gave me a trip to the er with my bp at 180/120. Yep anxiety will numb your face make you feel like your having a stroke . My anxiety made me discover a week after being in the hospital and I had microscopic hematuria in my urine not visible to the eye but on the urine test and I’m not supposed to have blood as I don’t get a period anymore . Now the dr wants me to have an ultrasound and again I’m here thinking it’s bladder cancer it never ends . I have been trying to calm my fight or flight cause I’m tired of fighting and working on this parasympathetic system lmao cause it needs to chill . I have been doing cbd oil , you probably won’t believe me, but chamomile has been my lifesaver. I have been doing chamomile tea in the morning. It has like some type of sedate or something that calms you the hell down and I do it at night time before I go to sleep, because I couldn’t sleep at night I felt like I was having a heart attack and I also started magnesium glycinate, which is helping me a lot with my anxiety. Mental health is not easy. Many would judge you because they haven’t been in that situation. It’s a struggle every single day with yourself. Meditate and think your body for helping you fight for you because this is a way that your body fight for you, because you keep thinking that something is wrong with your body and don’t allow yourself to fall. We are all in this together. You are not alone.
Living with health anxiety is hard but my worst fear is actually going to the docs and them telling me i’m actually ill. I haven’t gotten any diagnoses for any of my symptoms just been living in fear for the last 4 years 😢😔. But I want a biopsy for a lump I have in my neck and a ECG because my heart feels weird and doesn’t beat regularly all the time.
Exactly. I’m waiting on results from a skin biopsy, I’m convinced that I have skin cancer. It’s been a horrible 3 months dealing with my skin, My Dr should be calling anytime now and I freak out every time my phone rings. I hope you’re doing well
I'm 15 and my anxiety starts when I first had panic attack and I went to google my symptoms and that started my health anxiety after I searched my symptoms in Google and says it's heart problems. my panic attack continues until the next day without sleeping till my anxiety worsens and I tried to convince my dad to go to ER just to find out that I also had acid reflux and that gave me temporary relief but still my anxiety and symptoms continues after few weeks of cycling anxiety I went to a doctor and did a lab test and xray they all are normal I was told by my doctor that I might have health anxiety. As I was typing this I'm still feeling anxious about my heart beats and anxiety symptoms. I'm so unlucky that my health anxiety started at such a young age.
Excellent. Love the forms. When I first started watching your videos A couple weeks ago I was a full-blown hypochondriac with agoraphobia. Now I’m just a hypochondriac with a touch of agoraphobia. I watch your videos as a reminder to slow down and realize that progress takes time. I had a setback yesterday I started googling my symptoms again. (PVC’s are what set off this anxiety disorder). I still have the PVCs but I’m learning to live with them. Can you please do a video for people like me whose anxiety was triggered by a real health condition? I was fine before the PVCS. I was even fine for a couple weeks when I started getting them. Then I went to the wrong doctor and they told me I could die which set off what they call panic disorder. I saw the cardiologist and he told me I was having PACs and PVCs and I wasn’t likely to die but by then the mental damage had been done. I feel like a lot of people are like me where they actually do have real problems or had real problems and fear them getting worse or turning into something more. Sometimes self help videos dismiss it all as anxiety but what do you do when it’s really happening and you’re worrying yourself sick?
Hi Ashley. Im glad you are making progress. Safety behaviours creeping back are really common. It happens to everyone. Don't see it as a failure but just a learning experience. I have had others with health conditions ask for a video on it so I have added it to my video ideas list. I have lived with PVCs and PACs for 15 years. Im quite relaxed about them now but it was scary at first so I understand how it must have felt when the doctor made that stupid comment.
Recently after my father's death i started having anxieties and its still continuing since 6 years.... Now it has become unmanageable, i cannot keep my mind shut... I did a health checkup, it came out to be normal still I am not satisfying i constantly scare of getting heart attack or stroke or cancer or anything worse I become dizzy and cant attend my college regularly.... I had to skip exams, thought of trying therapy but its too costly and Indian families usually dont take mental health problem seriously so its hard for me to convince or do anything about it...... Once i tried to end it all at once but i was too scared dont know what is happening and what will happen to me if i keep getting those anxiety attacks
I have this. The fear of developing a severe mental illness and losing control and hurting myself or my child. It’s truly horrible. The most severe episode I’ve ever experience because every negative emotion or thought can become a trigger. It’s a vicious cycle
Hi, thats me exactly. i dread a diagnosis of dementia. it has me in a real pickle. constant worry and for a period constant googling which brough me to this crisis. been like this now for about four months. getting help but its hard. this vid is very good.
Most times I have a symptom first, then the thought, then feeling, then behavior. Example: perfectly calm watching my I pad, then sudden tachycardia, at 2.00am in the morning, 160 BPM. The last one raised my BP to 275/129, thank god I only get those about once per year.
it started as acid reflux and now i have a terrible health anxiety. last month i was so afraid of having kidney disease, this week, our neighbor died due to heart attack and from then on, i noticed some tightness in my chest occassionally
@@Mojeebsahakofficial i would suggest of going to your doctor just once. and if you find out you have nothing serious in your body, it will help you greatly.
@@Mojeebsahakofficial i keep myself busy so i dont think about anything at all. find ways to be busy, do some artwork, exercise and etc. it will help you greatly and will make you healthier. you will be fine bro. dont worry.
2:20,BRO this help. A LOT when I saw it’s so similar to me like I though I have heart attack,then search more about symptoms,TYSM Sir.Martin,now My chest pain,feel heavy is reducing now,now I’ll try to stop googling and stop thinking about my thoughts!!
My anxiety has been bad maybe for two weeks.. I’ve been obsessed with my head hurting thinking it was a tumor… poking for lymph nodes thinking I have lymphoma… chest pains .. stomach aches.. vulva aches.. muscle twitching.. pulsatile tinnitus and tingling. Literally my obsession switched over night.. from last night to today. I’ve been in this situation some years ago but idk what causes it other than stress.. but what am I stressing
Thank you for this vid! I’ve been constantly worrying about my eyes, it all started 5 years ago. And it came back again a month ago, i’ve been worrying about my eyes like what if im going blind because i am high myopic, I already had my eye dilated exam and the doctor said that I have a healthy retina, but I cant stop overthinking and having panic attacks sometimes, im only 19 and I worry so much. Idk how to deal with these thoughts
I'm having these health anxiety just a few mo ths ago then i went to check my eyes and the doctor said that my eyes are perfectly fine except that it's dry and i may need to upgrade my myopic glasses.
@@2rguidance same! i got my new lenses now, i still see some vision problems like seeing light at the top of my eyes when i move my eyes up and down/side to side in a dark room, also the dim light vision with a dim line at the top of my eyes. This could be the anxiety affecting our eyes. I only experienced this now when im overthinking about my eyes
@@erincrawford3929 as long as your retina is healthy there’s nothing to worry about! this could be our anxiety affecting our vision at it connected to our brain. I still do seeing some vision problems like light at top of my eyes when I move it up and down/side to side and a dim light vision at top of my eyes going on and off for seconds. Still worrying like what if something develops after my eye dilated exam, but seeing these comments make me calm that its the anxiety! still learning how to calm everytime i get these thoughts too much
@@churos4174 could be. After i got my eyes checked and the doctor said it's perfectly fine. My anxiety just subsided. I did freak out one time though when i had kaleidoscope vision, i didn't realize it's called an aura, the one you get before migraine strikes, i was stress that time.
Thank you so much for this video! It explained to me a lot. A month ago I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. Since then, while I've been waiting for surgery I feel anxiety. At first, I had a lump in my throat. I knew it was caused by stress. But now I have also fog or dizziness (I'm not sure) and GERD symptoms. I'm aware it is caused by stress, but I didn't know what should I do with it. So I was just googling my symptoms again and again)) I hope all these will go away after the surgery, but I'll try to use your advice as well!
Sorry to hear about your illness. I can't imagine the anxiety a diagnosis like that can bring and anxiety can bring all sorts of symptoms. However be sure to discuss any new symptoms with your doctor. I know its really hard, but do your best to stay off google as it feeds anxiety which creates more anxiety symptoms which then causes more symptoms. I wish you a speedy and full recovery.
I am 22 , 6 months ago my uncle passed due to untreated liver ulcer and i research online now then when ever I have stomach slightly discomfort I feel anxiety and due to that more stomach problems increasing I am anxious of symptoms but now I know that's my self
Health anxiety is worse with tinnitus. Im so worried about everything depsite being told its just TMJ that should go away over time. Im still very anxious, so this will help
Sir, I have been feeling short of breath for 3 months, feeling short of breath, wheezing, and often taking long breaths from my mouth to feel relief in my chest. And I feel this all the time. 😢
Hi! Martin this must be late but, sorry for my grammar hope you understand I'm still learning English but, anyway what can I do to get rid of thinking like Imagining things impossible and I can't focus on my studies because of this I'm always Imagining something that isn't even necessary help me?😫
For people who still has it and don't get better I want to tell my story of recovering. If your panic attacs are regular or after them you feel exhausted for the whole day, you might need some medication as I got. Don't be shy to go to the psychiatrist, at first it may be the only way out. After some time using sertraline or other SSRIs with tranquilizer, you will feel better. Then I started to do yoga for 2 weeks or more. And reading, reading, reading, guys. Not about your symptoms, but about GAD aka health anxiety aka hypochondria. Then you have to upgrade your body, your heart, lungs and body in general. In my opinion, it is running(cycling, swimming). It worked for me, see if it will work for you. At first I felt really bad after running. Really bad. Head was spinning, HR was strange, I couldn't catch my breath. And this after 10 seconds of running;) But then up time of running, little by little. So I came to 2 minutes running 1 minute walking for six times. When you understand you are ready meaning you accepted your anxiety, you can start CBT. Now I'm not yet overcome my anxiety, I mean I want to get back to the gym, be more sociable as now. I still do CBT, but now I feel that I control my anxiety and can it change. Be healthy, guys!
Anxiety has taken over my life this year. And I am stressed 24/7. Lost interest in everything including love, life and family 😢. Seek doctor every week... I have complex ptsd
Hi! Great video! But what to do if you have really scary symptoms that’s not caused by the health anxiety. I got really scary muscle twitches that’s on my lower body all the time like worms, exactly the ones you get when you suffer from ALS. The doctors have told me that it’s not ALS but I can’t stop thinking about them anyway because there always there and grabbing my attention.. it’s really debilitating to always being scared of them and what more they can become.. 🙁
I cover anxiety twitching in my 20 anxiety symptoms video. Understanding what causes them will help. ua-cam.com/video/Eaoh89a0YD8/v-deo.html Also check out my health anxiety playlist. I have many videos that teach you how to manage health anxiety.
I’m really struggling, I’m 20 and have always kinda had health anxiety but recently it’s gotten much worse. I forgot something small then couldn’t get rid of the feeling I was having memory loss, dementia etc. I’m so scared of getting it since this. I feel awful & so depressed. I don’t know how to overcome it
For me, there's not just an anxiety cycle, there's also an on/off cycle. For several weeks the whole system is switched off and nothing I do or think will be a problem. Then it will kick in and hang around for a few days, listening to everything I say and think and using it against me when it deems appropriate. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy though I can sometimes think my way out of what logic tells me is false illness.
i m 23 years old only and i have anxiety since 6 years ago and still i have anxiety i m so afraid to go University my worst phobia is having attack 😭😭😭 please please i m so tired i m so exhausted i want my self back i m sending my virtual hugs to all of those who are facing this same situation
Anytime I have a medical appointment and they need to do a BP check my BP and heart rate goes through the roof. The anxiety starts the night before the appointment. Once I leave the appointment my BP goes back to normal. I tried many techniques but they never work. It takes the medical staff about 3 BP checks for them to see that it's anxiety and it decreases once I feel safe. I hate it. I will only do telemed appointments now. I will not go in unless I have to. I need help. I am so tired of it.
Same issue here - stress related higher than normal BP - all anxiety but my Doctor keeps telling me to remember its my health anxiety. I am petrified of the C word.
My fathers mother ( my grandmother) had brain tumor so i have health anxiety that i will get it due to genetics my age is 18 and this thought of having it kills me mentally someboady who reads this comment pls help me , will i also get it that too at young age of 20 s or 30 s or i will not ...my father and mother both in there 40' s have still not had symptoms if it but my mad mind thinks i will get it that too in young age 😢
My grandmother also died of a brain tumour at about the age I am at now. But CBT taught me to accept that none of us can know our fate and by not fuelling our anxious thoughts and feelings with safety behaviours, the thoughts and feelings go away, allowing us to enjoy life. Apply what you learnt from this video and other videos in my health anxiety playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLLLHgjmNNVTF5PT0N3sTulqL2JOfggva5.html and it will help.
I have illness anxiety I hate the thought of being ill, when I am ill I mainly get on it with, but for some reason before and after I worry about getting colds or bugs. It started off as a thought probably 15 years ago and it's manifested itself into something huge, to the point I'm turning 40 this year, it stops me doing things, possibly why I've never had kids, as kids tend to get little bugs etc all the time. Starting to feel like nothing will help, this is also after therapy.
it's been a a month now i still afriad to have a heart attack im so scared i feel so helpless I'm an overthink i just want some help im only 17 I'm tired i want to be normal again help
Its been three months and i bet your now okay. So next time you experience something like this again just think that its your mind playing tricks with you and theres nothing wrong with you and it will all end soon
I’m having shortness of breath, dizzy, light headed. I’ve been to the doctor many times and they can’t find anything.. maybe it’s anxiety?? But having these problems and not finding an answer makes it worse 😑
I’m at that point where I’m just becoming hyper aware of my body. If I focus on an area of the body I can feel a pulse, blood flow through that area. So I google it and it’s said that I have a blood clot or my artery is about to burst
I developed tinnitus 7 months ago and im pretty sure it was caused by my behaviour regarding health. Every time i felt something strange before i would go to google and check, be anxious for a couple of days and then back to normal. However, one night my Tinnitus appeared (already checked with doctors and my ears are super fine) and that attitude got me into a negative and anxious spiral that took control over my whole life. Now i am a little more in control but there are days where anxiety is too much. I want to get better, tame my tinnitus, befriend it and calm my anxious brain. It is going to be a long journey😂.
Hy ruben, I'm also suffering from tinnitus for the last 6 months... and the ringing sound is coming from the right ear.. it's jus freaking me out literally every single day.. went to the doctor and he said it might be bcz of the nerves around the ears and gave vitamin tablets for one month...if it continues then I have to go to ENT and check...so have you seen any doctors? How are you feeling now?
@@jesnajessy790 Hi! Yes I have seen two different ENT and both told me that me ears are fine but I still hear the sounds hahaha. It is more related to the brain than the ear. I have my days, some good and some not so good. The only thing I can recommend you is to stop visiting forums or checking for symptoms, try not to fight the T because that fuels it and play ambient sound in the background. Listening to crickets helps me a lot. Hope you get better or at least tame the sound !
99% of the things we worry about never happen. And when they do, we just take care of the problem. Or it just passes by, like the 1,000s of things we worried about before. What became of those worries? Anxiety is inherently irrational. It fools us by dealing in what ifs and worst-case scenarios. So we must frequently remind ourselves to stop catastrophising.
I have been feeling extremely on edge since the past 6 months. I worry that I have a heart condition all the time and become fearful about the slightest sensations and bodily feelings. I have undergone many tests and have been checked out by 2 cardiologists. I have been assured that my heart is fine. Still I feel anxious and fearful on many days. Some days I am fine and I wonder how did I go through the entire day without feeling fear. And the next moment, the anxious feelings are back. it really is limiting my life and happiness.
Exact same, however I think I have a real problem but my mum says its nothing bad. Whenever I walk it hurts my feet or the ankles feel like they need to click but they dont have to, and it has lasted a few days so far but it hurts quite a lot my mum says just because I haven't been walking on them but I don't think so. Anyway, your comment is so relatable. and seeing a doctor helps me, but for 3 days at most. then i start getting anxious they didnt check the right spot or something
I had health anxiety since I was little. Whenever I learned about a disease, I would pray to God that I didn’t get it. As an adult, I can feel when my body is off and I have to figure out what it is and fix it myself. I can’t keep going to the doctors and when I do they just ignore me 90% of the time anyways.
For me, it all started when I did a school presentation about rabies. I fell into the usual rabbit hole of videos about rabid animals and people. I was scarred for life. The thing is, I have a terrible mouth breathing problem, some days I would wake up to my throat not being able to swallow properly. I associated that with hydrophobia, and had little panic attacks. The worst part? I didn't even have a close encounter with an animal lately, or if I did have, they are all vaxxed. Why am I so neurotic?
I’m just 19 and started having this in March when I got blood in my stool.. I was terrified got it all checked it’s nothing but now my mind can not get over it.. every pain I feel the first thought is always cancer or heart attack 😭 it’s gotten to a point where I can’t even sleep at night.. im constantly feeling chest pains, shortness of breath and dizziness because im always terrified… it’s so fukcin difficult to deal with😭😭 idk what to do.. my life isn’t at peace since March I haven’t been able to focus on anything
Here are the questions we are suppose to put up somewhere , in case like me you will read things more if they are typed instead of in your own handwriting. Where will I be in 5 years if I don’t change the way I manage my health anxiety? How does my Hypochondria affect my relationships? What would life be like if I didn’t have health anxiety? What does my health anxiety prevent me from doing that I would like to do now? Also thank Martin for the link to the health anxiety thought record. It was only when re watching this video that I noticed that this sheet is slightly different than the thought record that I usually use. I printed it off and put in my binder of Anxiety Attic worksheets to pick from daily.
in 3 mouths i jave confinced my self i had foot cancer throat cancer ibs lungs were gonna cloaplse and evey time i drink coffe i convice my self im gonna die of a hearth attacm
Everytime I come across a video on tiktok about a certain illness, or someone died because of this and that, after reading the symptoms, i feel like i have it. 😢
Nothing is permanent.... You're fine and safe...👍
Death is kinda permanent
@@TrasheyeGym depends on what you believe that happens after death, it may be permanent for you body, but for your soul it could be non existent or temporary
I’m 17 and struggle everyday with health anxiety. Any body pain I feel I think the worst thing it’s so exhausting. No matter what I do I always convince myself I’m physically ill and I’m so terrified all the time. It has changed my life entirely because my brain convinces itself that I have cancer or something else that is also serious. I pray I won’t feel this way forever and I hope any of u that struggle with this feel better. We got this. ❤️
I'm in the exact same position as you, it is so exhausting. Even when my doctor tells me that I'm perfectly healthy and needn't worry about anything, I still feel anxious about it! It's awful, I've been trying to control it, some days are better and some are worse but I believe I can do it. Hope you feel better soon, your anxiety does not define you ❤
Same bro my age is 18 and facing same thing
@@vighnesh3742how did you overcome it ?
Everything is same....can u plz tell how did you overcome it ?
@@v-logs1695 i know the question wasn’t directed at me but i struggled with health anxiety a for a long time (and still kind of do) and these are some things that helped me: i started doing yoga and meditating to calm myself down, i read or dance or sing or whatever i feel like doing when i’m anxious, i go on walks if it’s too bad and it helps a lot, i also write about my anxieties, that was probably the biggest game changer for me. if i feel any symptom i think “if this doesn’t go away in 1/2 weeks i’ll talk to my doctor but i’ll try not to worry in the meantime”, this “postpones” your anxiety, if it’s a “real symptom” (couldn’t find a better word for it) it might persist, if it’s just my anxiety it’ll, most of the time, go away when i’m relaxed. also, NEVER google your symptoms, if you are seriously worried talk to a trusted medical professional, google will only tell you you are doomed because that’s the kind of answer that gets the most clicks. if you can, you should also try to talk to a therapist, talking to mine about this helped so much!
sorry if this is too long, but i hope it helps. know you are not alone in this!
The most frustrating thing for me, is how I can go hours and hours without thinking of it at all. Then, the second I stop and try to tell myself “Look, it’s all in your head. You forgot about it and lived life normally nearly all day. You’re fine!” it starts again. I KNOW it’s in my head, but when the pain or whatever starts, there’s nothing I can say to make myself believe it. It’s too real, and it’s always when I’m alone.
I have a feeling self talk is the biggest step in this process, it’s so hard to self-soothe when you genuinely are scared and start the domino effect of this condition. I always try to treat myself as the child version of myself, mainly so I practice compassion more than anything. It’s difficult but worth it
You literally explained how I have been feeling. You are not alone at all. I hate it so bad, like why me? But I just hope for the best.
You are sooooo like me!!!!
Most if the time it's at night when you're on bed. It feels like you'll be calling 911 anytime cuz you feel like dying! 😵😭
I agree when you’re alone it can consume you easier. Loneliness can be a real b1tch
Im just 24 but struggling from past 4 years...though it is managebale im really worried, but seeing these many comments i would feel that im not at all alone with these symptoms...Lets come out of this soon and live our lives back❤
I am to i thout I am only suffering from anxiety disorder
For the past few months I've been having daily panic attacks and just anxiety in general because for some reason I can't get my mind off of the idea that I could have a heart attack, cardiac arrest, stroke, anurysm at any time. I'm only 29. And im terrified.
Same thing it started during a loryngitis where I could not eat and my throat felt full of something so I also had trouble breathing. Now even when it's passed I still have this feeling and it's causing me to get anxiety and feeling short of breath. Its going on for 3 weeks now and I'm so tired of it. I noticed during the day it's a lot less since you are busy so it does confirm it's all in my head.
This is me also. I just turned thirty two months ago and think this is a worse age crisis like I’ve never expected. And I’m convinced suddenly that every bite of food I take will help or cause an attack. So I barely eat. But when I’m having a good day and distracted and dare to eat something fried or sweet, it will trigger the anxiety again and I spend all night thinking an attack is coming. I’m afraid to take the stairs or do push ups in case it triggers something, but also not exercising causes it too. There’s no way to win and it feels awful.
@@SloanisSunny reach out if you ever need/want to talk about it. You too, Sem Kn 🙏
@@semkn9555 that's what I'm going through rote now it always comes at night or when I'm driving. I used to love driving now i hate the thought of it bit I have things to do and it's so scary for me
@@vanessaorozco9035 yh it's so tough. It's going better for me now. What helped me was a good sleeping routine and eating healthy to feel good. Having positive thoughts and not focusing on breathing also really helped but that's the hardest part. You can also try magnesium and b12 to fight the anxiety. Hope you feel better soon
i am going through the same thing and here is my advice to everyone concerned.
meditate atleast 10 mins when u wake up n before sleep.
jog, sprint and walk for atleast an hour everyday.
acceptance is the key. accept whatever is happening to you and just learn to live with it eventually u'll get used to it and forget.
muscle buildng exercise helped me alot with this.
take magnesium n improve sleep.
eat healthy and loose some body fat.
learn a language take classes for me it was japanese
Being a cancer survivor spiked my health anxiety, but I found a few things that work fairly well:
- Daily journaling about my worries and perceived symptoms
- Mindfulness Meditation
- Annual physicals for nothing in particular
- Checking back with symptoms I've documented and seeing that they have no gotten worse (usually they've disappeared)
- Noting the correlation of health anxiety with just overall stressors in life (one tends to lead to another)
I hope that helps!
-
Thank you so much for this. I've noticed that other people's diagnoses or reported deaths spike my anxiety so much. I'll try your tips
Im a survivor out 12 years and it bothers me any ache or cramp
Sorry I'm struggling with health anxiety and I'm terrified of cancer, could please give your age? And what cancer? Sorry if I'm being rude, I'm looking for first hand information
Thankyou. God bless you, Im glad you recovered.
It’s crazy I thought I was the only one then reading the comments, it seems like there’s tons of people like me.
I read some comments and from this I understand that the symptoms are very similar. I had panic attacks which I actually already had but they got worse after a month of ear infections. I went into a strong depression for 3 months and stopped eating, I lost 20 kilos in 3 months. As someone has already written, I too was afraid of eating, I was afraid that I was allergic to some ingredient or that I would suffocate. I didn't do physical activity for fear that my heart would speed up and I'd have a heart attack. It all stems from the fact that I saw my grandparents die before my eyes, both young, my grandmother from an aneurysm (I'm terrified of it) and my grandfather from cancer and low self-esteem for which I think I'm weak. But something changed in me, I thought I couldn't stay this long, that wasn't life. I went to a psychologist, now I wake up early, I have my routine, I journal regularly and I have good habits with a healthy diet. Even today I suffer from anxiety, and when I have some symptoms, even just fever or red eyes or burst capillaries (I work a lot on the PC), I get scared. But now there are no longer those strong panic attacks, little by little I'm taking my life back. However, I understood that everything is linked to the fear of dying and the awareness that we are passing through here. But precisely for this reason I want to live a joyful existence and not be a slave to fear. It's a lot of work on yourself but it has to be done, otherwise you can't live anymore. So I'm sending you lots of good vibes, let's actually strengthen each other! We are strong, we are healthy, we are safe and protected! So much faith in ourselves and in the universe.
Dizziness is the worst part. Its worse than body tremors, dry mouth, nausea, palpitations etc... Because its the most debilitating. Being dizzy is the one that prevented me from leaving the house.
See for me I can handle that one easy it the nausea and belly pains .and heart palpitations..one night it was beating fast in my sleep I get up and take my BP and it was high along with my heart rate.i message a friend think I'm gonna go the er..she said calmness down it anxitey it gonna read high I broken-down took some meds and listen to my meditation videos told her it u havent heard from ne in 15 mins then inl feel asl33p it worked
Seing the comments is very reassuring. Knowing thst you are not the only one to think you will have a stroke, a heart attack, a cancer or other doseases that I'm not going to tell you, because otherwise I'll give you ideas (been there with least 5 more diseases). I think I'm getting better now, it's been 3 years dealing with it. Not googling it is number 1 step
I was in the middle of a panic attack and you helped so much. Thankyou so much.
Glad to have helped. If you haven't seen it already I have a hypnosis video for panic attacks also. ua-cam.com/video/tYznSpKXFm4/v-deo.html
If you are watching because you are struggling you do get better - i promise.
This video is really helpful, give something a go a few times and see what helps for you ✌️
I’m 24. 3 years ago I had a bad panic attack while my buddy was driving me home so we go to the ER. Hot flashes, my entire body went tingly. I couldn’t move my tongue or my hands. I thought I was having a stroke.. I get hooked up to an EKG at ER and nurse tells me I have a cardiac arrhythmia. This freaks me out. I see a heart doctor two weeks later and he says I’m completely fine, that my test looks normal, just anxiety.. ever since that day I’ve had severe anxiety. Lately it’s my left side of my head and neck that hurt, I feel like I’m going to have a heart attack or an aneurysm. It scares me so badly and I feel like I bother everyone in my family too much about it. I seem to have something different wrong with me every single month. I pray that I can get through this and live a great and healthy life rid of anxiety 🙏 I pray for everyone in a similar condition
How are you doing?
i can understand.... but its hard... don worry... take each day as it comes
I got anxiety induced arrhythmia tonight. It’s really difficult mentally dealing with the feeling of your heart stopping for a couple seconds then just continuing. Then stopping. And obviously worrying just makes it worse
Dude my sorry is almost identical to yours!! Please check back in here so we can talk and exchange emails
I had a similar incident happen to me. As usual, my tests came out normal and the doctor didn't feel the need to put me through more tests because he knew I was having a panic attack.
Honestly, some days are amazing and some are the worst. It's exhausting having such negative thoughts.
It's actually crazy how many physical symptoms anxiety can make you go through.
I pray that you can go through this and anything that comes at you. 🙏✨
Anxiety is just temporary thing
When you are anxious just observe what is happening or try to ignore then anxiety will automatically come down.
I tried it helped me lot.
Ignoring is so so hard. Takes practice
I don't know I am always afraid of getting cancer, if it is a lower back pain, I feel my kidneys are damaged, if my left chest hurts with left arm, I feel I am about to get a heart attack soon. God please save us 🙏 even if I am fine, these negative thoughts make my condition worsened. 😓😓😓
God bless You my friend, I know what you feel and you are not alone I have the same fears. Sending you love across the planet and hope we heal from this anxiety/hypocondria and live a life filled with true peace and true love. Hugs💜
@@harmony5807 God bless you my friend ⭐✨ may The universe give you abundance of peace, happiness and wellness 🏵️
Same condition dude 😢it's so hard surviving with this anxiety. I hope we all heal from this ❤
I’ve suffered from health anxiety for years but was able to manage it. Recently it’s gotten unmanageable and I’ve been struggling. But a few days ago I just got my first huge panic attack where I became extremely dizzy and I thought I was going to pass out or die. Because of that, it spiked my anxiety even more and I’ve struggled every day since then. Getting dizzy at random times and being scared to leave the house or drive. It’s gotten better slowly every day with mindfulness and meditation, but it’s been debilitating these last few days. I found these videos from your hypnosis on health anxiety and they’ve really helped. Thank you!
If you are starting to get panic attacks my panic attacks series should help. ua-cam.com/video/21fp9HLBqqI/v-deo.html
Hi can you please explain your dizziness? Mine is like room spinning whenever I lay down or look sided and this happened after my panic attack.
If anyone reads this, just know I’m in the same boat as you are and we will beat this. This condition will no longer have control over our lives. If you believe in Christ, pray to him to set you free.
True
I can't tell my relief in words after listening to your video .. and how much I could relate to this .I was struggling from last two year tried everything but couldn't figure out what is wrong with me .. my doctors my reports said I was alright but I was not fully satisfied ended up doing so many test and admitted to hospitals for diffrent problem always thinking that there is some thing major going on in my body.. but after listening to your video ... I got my answer that what exactly I am suffering from .This video made me emotional that some actually understood me after so many years . Thank you so much
I think it's universes way to show me the right path that today to googling about my symptoms and I ended up to this video
I cant express this in word that how light I fell today ... Thank you so much again 🙏

That’s exactly what I have been through for the last two years. Mine is about blood pressure check when anxious, it goes higher and when I don’t check am thinking what if the pressure is took high and I don’t know. Vicious cycle continue. Thanks for the information

Bro i got this for 4 years straight literally everytime i feel pain in my chest brain etc i check my blood pressure its getting really exhausting all my times being wasted on how if i had something wrong.. my prayers for every struggler

I have tried everything!!! My health anxiety is debilitating. It's non stop in my head every waking hour. I'm terrified and have convinced myself I have ALS. But I can't see a neurologist until February. I don't know what to do anymore

Samee,how many yeats did you have it
very useful - but what if you have a symptom that doctors can't explain which is also very uncomfortable? I am sure that all of my previous symptoms were anxiety but now my eyes are in pain..I suspect anxiety caused the problem, but I don't know how to address it.
Can excess mucus in the throat be an anxiety symptom. Iv had it for a while, I am constantly swallowing, not a minute in the day I don’t know when I am swallowing. I get globus every so often but I when I calm it goes, but the mucus feeling remains. I can’t see the mucus, I can’t spit it out. I just don’t know if it’s there or it’s my mind. I am anxious and have suffered with health anxiety my whole life.
My doctor says it’s nothing sinister but I find it hard to believe!
It’s taking over my life.
Dont be worried, excessive stress can cause acid reflux (harmless), which then can make your throat create excess mucus.
@@andrewhaugen7865 I have the same issue, salivating when I vape - have dealt with this my whole life, I know the feeling. I wish everyone here strength, if people do not suffer with it, they will never know how awful it is to live like this everyday.
The worst part for me are palpitations. Those are my biggest fear and it always happens - palpitations, sweating, chills. When will I know if it's real or not?
It is difficult to know if symptoms are anxiety or not and there is always that fear that it could be something more sinister. I made this video to help with this problem. It shows a tool used in CBT to help people rationalise their symptoms and make decisions about their health. ua-cam.com/video/2qkz70kC7PE/v-deo.html
Definitely feel this. One or two things appear and I just get to googling. Then I find something that almost matches then I try to convince myself I have that. I hate it so bad. Want to go to doctor to always be safe then at the same time terrified. I suffer with anxiety which was bad about 2 summers ago. I was okay after then it had passed then COVID came and currently I feel it coming back. Then feels like I can’t talk to no one because they would say I’m just over thinking or nothing is wrong. That just makes me feel worse. I hope for the best and feel better I’m not the only one dealing with this.
I thought I was the only who suffered from this

Yep, it happens to me at night randomly
I am strugling for this ..almost 1year already and now i fully understand .. this illness take my happiness my will my love to my self .. so hard but i learned how to accept it and trying to deal with it..
Mine started when i lost my dad due to health problems and I haven’t had a peaceful day since then.
I don't have a thought first. I have a sensation then I have the thoughts about what if it's this or that.
The anxiety cycle can start with a thought feeling or physical symptom and its often very difficult to work out where it did start because people who suffer anxiety are constantly in the anxiety cycle which keeps going around and around.
The anxiety cycle is just accurate af and is what I'm feeling right now. I know I'm stress, there's an upcoming licensure exam and I moved in a new place in which there's going to be a lot of adjustments. The thing is whenever I'm feeling some symptoms like headache or some stomach discomfort, i couldn't help but think that it might be something serious and my heart palpitates and i get more anxious, then my breathing increases thinking that i might have breathing problem, till i feel like I'm gonna have a heart attack and die any moment or something! 😵😵😵
What made it worse sometimes is the fact that I'm working in healthcare so I don't need to google symptoms cuz i know what they are and I'm already thinking a worse case scenario! 😵 I know symptoms that needs medical emergency and i know I'm not feeling those, i know that I'm just over reacting and it's jist my anxiety but it still SUCKSS cuz i can't help it.
I think it triggered when i almost lost my dad 2yrs ago of covid. I was far away and too anxious of what could've happened and I'm not there. Then it came to me that what if i got sick and die and I'm not gonna be with my family. My health anxiety just grows from there. I used to have health anxiety before but not this worse. Sometimes it just creeps out just out of nowhere then boom! My day is ruined, so as my sleep!
Thanks for this video like it literally shuts my anxiety down. I was anxious since yesterday and it's suffocating. I'll try to do these exercises!
Sending love to all my fellow hypochondriac people! We can beat this! ❤️❤️❤️
I live in the UK and my family is in Canada so I can empathise with you around worrying that something will happen to you and you can't be with them. That is a genuine concern, but it really only enters my mind when I'm experiencing health anxiety.
I could read my life in your comment..... This is exactly what's happening to me, I constantly get panic attacks thinking something might happen to me although I know it's just in my mind, I try to console myself that is it happens I have to fight through it..... Due to my anxiety I started developing digestive problems and that trigger my anxiety even more
I hope this helps me as well
Wishing good health to you and your family ❤️🩹
This is 100 percent what's happening with me. My health anxiety has gotten extremely worse since I lost my father and uncle to covid. It's really ruining my life and I don't know what to do about it.
Am from India and i want to thank you form my bottom of my heart. cause in my 3 year of anxiety and depression journey i did not find any video which will match 100% with my situation ..its help me a lot its like a medicines to mee
I am in healthcare I see things all the time they say that people in the medical field are the worst patients lol. I have severe medical anxiety I saw my best friend die from cancer since then I haven’t been the same . I had a gastritis flare up after 18 years which of course will trigger my anxiety thinking I had stomach cancer gave me a trip to the er with my bp at 180/120. Yep anxiety will numb your face make you feel like your having a stroke . My anxiety made me discover a week after being in the hospital and I had microscopic hematuria in my urine not visible to the eye but on the urine test and I’m not supposed to have blood as I don’t get a period anymore . Now the dr wants me to have an ultrasound and again I’m here thinking it’s bladder cancer it never ends . I have been trying to calm my fight or flight cause I’m tired of fighting and working on this parasympathetic system lmao cause it needs to chill . I have been doing cbd oil , you probably won’t believe me, but chamomile has been my lifesaver. I have been doing chamomile tea in the morning. It has like some type of sedate or something that calms you the hell down and I do it at night time before I go to sleep, because I couldn’t sleep at night I felt like I was having a heart attack and I also started magnesium glycinate, which is helping me a lot with my anxiety. Mental health is not easy. Many would judge you because they haven’t been in that situation. It’s a struggle every single day with yourself. Meditate and think your body for helping you fight for you because this is a way that your body fight for you, because you keep thinking that something is wrong with your body and don’t allow yourself to fall. We are all in this together. You are not alone.
I'm exactly the same. I've convinced myself I have bowel or stomach cancer due to some symptoms I'm currently having. 😢
I also worried about my dad's health too. Is that also part of health anxiety?
This helps me confirm I'm not a hypochondriac. I just have a lot of different symptoms. But it does help me be more rational about those symptoms.
Spot on! Woke up this morning with anxiety.
Living with health anxiety is hard but my worst fear is actually going to the docs and them telling me i’m actually ill. I haven’t gotten any diagnoses for any of my symptoms just been living in fear for the last 4 years 😢😔. But I want a biopsy for a lump I have in my neck and a ECG because my heart feels weird and doesn’t beat regularly all the time.
Exactly. I’m waiting on results from a skin biopsy, I’m convinced that I have skin cancer. It’s been a horrible 3 months dealing with my skin, My Dr should be calling anytime now and I freak out every time my phone rings. I hope you’re doing well
@@thelords4691 Thanks, you too! 🫶🏽♥️
@@thelords4691update ? U okay ?

Bro I’m 12 years old and I really hate this health anxiety. Please make a video like this for kids or teens like me
You have so much to live just live your life my dear brother you will overcome this
I'm 15 and my anxiety starts when I first had panic attack and I went to google my symptoms and that started my health anxiety after I searched my symptoms in Google and says it's heart problems. my panic attack continues until the next day without sleeping till my anxiety worsens and I tried to convince my dad to go to ER just to find out that I also had acid reflux and that gave me temporary relief but still my anxiety and symptoms continues after few weeks of cycling anxiety I went to a doctor and did a lab test and xray they all are normal
I was told by my doctor that I might have health anxiety. As I was typing this I'm still feeling anxious about my heart beats and anxiety symptoms.
I'm so unlucky that my health anxiety started at such a young age.
I also have cardiophobia because of my anxiety
same here ! i’m 15 and have terrible GI anxiety hope we can all make it out :)
dont worry same for all, some one comes forward to express and few wont thats it, same feeling for me also but we will b okay
Excellent. Love the forms. When I first started watching your videos A couple weeks ago I was a full-blown hypochondriac with agoraphobia. Now I’m just a hypochondriac with a touch of agoraphobia. I watch your videos as a reminder to slow down and realize that progress takes time. I had a setback yesterday I started googling my symptoms again. (PVC’s are what set off this anxiety disorder). I still have the PVCs but I’m learning to live with them. Can you please do a video for people like me whose anxiety was triggered by a real health condition? I was fine before the PVCS. I was even fine for a couple weeks when I started getting them. Then I went to the wrong doctor and they told me I could die which set off what they call panic disorder. I saw the cardiologist and he told me I was having PACs and PVCs and I wasn’t likely to die but by then the mental damage had been done.
I feel like a lot of people are like me where they actually do have real problems or had real problems and fear them getting worse or turning into something more. Sometimes self help videos dismiss it all as anxiety but what do you do when it’s really happening and you’re worrying yourself sick?
Hi Ashley. Im glad you are making progress. Safety behaviours creeping back are really common. It happens to everyone. Don't see it as a failure but just a learning experience. I have had others with health conditions ask for a video on it so I have added it to my video ideas list. I have lived with PVCs and PACs for 15 years. Im quite relaxed about them now but it was scary at first so I understand how it must have felt when the doctor made that stupid comment.
I've been 'waiting' till the symptoms go away, its been 3 months... how long until i should go back to the doc
Recently after my father's death i started having anxieties and its still continuing since 6 years.... Now it has become unmanageable, i cannot keep my mind shut... I did a health checkup, it came out to be normal still I am not satisfying i constantly scare of getting heart attack or stroke or cancer or anything worse I become dizzy and cant attend my college regularly.... I had to skip exams, thought of trying therapy but its too costly and Indian families usually dont take mental health problem seriously so its hard for me to convince or do anything about it...... Once i tried to end it all at once but i was too scared dont know what is happening and what will happen to me if i keep getting those anxiety attacks
I have this. The fear of developing a severe mental illness and losing control and hurting myself or my child. It’s truly horrible. The most severe episode I’ve ever experience because every negative emotion or thought can become a trigger. It’s a vicious cycle
Hey i have the same fear.. That i might get a serious mental illness.. And it's so frustrating.. I can't stop thinking about it
Hi, thats me exactly. i dread a diagnosis of dementia. it has me in a real pickle. constant worry and for a period constant googling which brough me to this crisis. been like this now for about four months. getting help but its hard. this vid is very good.
These are brilliant. The behavioral experiment chart has just given me so much hope.
Behavioural experiments are the most powerful tool in CBT. Use them often and they can change the beliefs that drive the anxiety.
Does anyone experience increased sensitivity and sometimes phantom symptoms due to their hypochondria?
Yes like being sensitive to all smells

Happy New Year! Another great and highly appreciated video, Martin ❤️
Happy new year!
Thank you very much for taking the time to help
Happy to help
Most times I have a symptom first, then the thought, then feeling, then behavior.
Example: perfectly calm watching my I pad, then sudden tachycardia, at 2.00am in the morning, 160 BPM. The last one raised my BP to 275/129, thank god I only get those about once per year.
Thats very high
I get also those, 180 but it goes down again
Dang! Here i am panicking on my 131/79 bp. My bp is usually around 110/70, so when i got this high reading my anxiety starts to kick in! 😵
@@2rguidance ive got 180 i think u should relax and find better peace of mine or a job maybe to divert and eases your bp

it started as acid reflux and now i have a terrible health anxiety. last month i was so afraid of having kidney disease, this week, our neighbor died due to heart attack and from then on, i noticed some tightness in my chest occassionally
This is me . Did you find any Solutions?
@@Mojeebsahakofficial hello. are you afraid to go to the doctor too and dont want to undergo check ups?
@@Mojeebsahakofficial i would suggest of going to your doctor just once. and if you find out you have nothing serious in your body, it will help you greatly.

2:20,BRO this help. A LOT when I saw it’s so similar to me like I though I have heart attack,then search more about symptoms,TYSM Sir.Martin,now My chest pain,feel heavy is reducing now,now I’ll try to stop googling and stop thinking about my thoughts!!
My anxiety has been bad maybe for two weeks.. I’ve been obsessed with my head hurting thinking it was a tumor… poking for lymph nodes thinking I have lymphoma… chest pains .. stomach aches.. vulva aches.. muscle twitching.. pulsatile tinnitus and tingling.
Literally my obsession switched over night.. from last night to today. I’ve been in this situation some years ago but idk what causes it other than stress.. but what am I stressing
YUP, very familiar with the cycle... Currently struggling, need to fix this :(
Thank you for this vid! I’ve been constantly worrying about my eyes, it all started 5 years ago. And it came back again a month ago, i’ve been worrying about my eyes like what if im going blind because i am high myopic, I already had my eye dilated exam and the doctor said that I have a healthy retina, but I cant stop overthinking and having panic attacks sometimes, im only 19 and I worry so much. Idk how to deal with these thoughts
I'm having these health anxiety just a few mo ths ago then i went to check my eyes and the doctor said that my eyes are perfectly fine except that it's dry and i may need to upgrade my myopic glasses.
Same so much, I worry that I’m gonna go blind all day every day it is exhausting
@@2rguidance same! i got my new lenses now, i still see some vision problems like seeing light at the top of my eyes when i move my eyes up and down/side to side in a dark room, also the dim light vision with a dim line at the top of my eyes. This could be the anxiety affecting our eyes. I only experienced this now when im overthinking about my eyes
@@erincrawford3929 as long as your retina is healthy there’s nothing to worry about! this could be our anxiety affecting our vision at it connected to our brain. I still do seeing some vision problems like light at top of my eyes when I move it up and down/side to side and a dim light vision at top of my eyes going on and off for seconds. Still worrying like what if something develops after my eye dilated exam, but seeing these comments make me calm that its the anxiety! still learning how to calm everytime i get these thoughts too much
@@churos4174 could be. After i got my eyes checked and the doctor said it's perfectly fine. My anxiety just subsided. I did freak out one time though when i had kaleidoscope vision, i didn't realize it's called an aura, the one you get before migraine strikes, i was stress that time.
Thank you so much for this video! It explained to me a lot. A month ago I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. Since then, while I've been waiting for surgery I feel anxiety. At first, I had a lump in my throat. I knew it was caused by stress. But now I have also fog or dizziness (I'm not sure) and GERD symptoms. I'm aware it is caused by stress, but I didn't know what should I do with it. So I was just googling my symptoms again and again)) I hope all these will go away after the surgery, but I'll try to use your advice as well!
Sorry to hear about your illness. I can't imagine the anxiety a diagnosis like that can bring and anxiety can bring all sorts of symptoms. However be sure to discuss any new symptoms with your doctor. I know its really hard, but do your best to stay off google as it feeds anxiety which creates more anxiety symptoms which then causes more symptoms. I wish you a speedy and full recovery.
I am 22 , 6 months ago my uncle passed due to untreated liver ulcer and i research online now then when ever I have stomach slightly discomfort I feel anxiety and due to that more stomach problems increasing I am anxious of symptoms but now I know that's my self
This year has been tough for me with this stuff we aren't alone and we need to just stop. Easier said but posible
Health anxiety is worse with tinnitus. Im so worried about everything depsite being told its just TMJ that should go away over time. Im still very anxious, so this will help
I think I have this too, my ears feels so full throughout the day and my jaw pops but I keep thinking it’s something serious
Sir, I have been feeling short of breath for 3 months, feeling short of breath, wheezing, and often taking long breaths from my mouth to feel relief in my chest. And I feel this all the time. 😢
Hi! Martin this must be late but, sorry for my grammar hope you understand I'm still learning English but, anyway what can I do to get rid of thinking like Imagining things impossible and I can't focus on my studies because of this I'm always Imagining something that isn't even necessary help me?😫
For people who still has it and don't get better I want to tell my story of recovering.
If your panic attacs are regular or after them you feel exhausted for the whole day, you might need some medication as I got. Don't be shy to go to the psychiatrist, at first it may be the only way out. After some time using sertraline or other SSRIs with tranquilizer, you will feel better. Then I started to do yoga for 2 weeks or more. And reading, reading, reading, guys. Not about your symptoms, but about GAD aka health anxiety aka hypochondria. Then you have to upgrade your body, your heart, lungs and body in general. In my opinion, it is running(cycling, swimming). It worked for me, see if it will work for you. At first I felt really bad after running. Really bad. Head was spinning, HR was strange, I couldn't catch my breath. And this after 10 seconds of running;) But then up time of running, little by little. So I came to 2 minutes running 1 minute walking for six times. When you understand you are ready meaning you accepted your anxiety, you can start CBT. Now I'm not yet overcome my anxiety, I mean I want to get back to the gym, be more sociable as now. I still do CBT, but now I feel that I control my anxiety and can it change. Be healthy, guys!
Anxiety has taken over my life this year. And I am stressed 24/7. Lost interest in everything including love, life and family 😢. Seek doctor every week... I have complex ptsd
Hi! Great video!
But what to do if you have really scary symptoms that’s not caused by the health anxiety.
I got really scary muscle twitches that’s on my lower body all the time like worms, exactly the ones you get when you suffer from ALS. The doctors have told me that it’s not ALS but I can’t stop thinking about them anyway because there always there and grabbing my attention.. it’s really debilitating to always being scared of them and what more they can become.. 🙁
I cover anxiety twitching in my 20 anxiety symptoms video. Understanding what causes them will help. ua-cam.com/video/Eaoh89a0YD8/v-deo.html
Also check out my health anxiety playlist. I have many videos that teach you how to manage health anxiety.
I'm worried I have ALS as well. My legs have been weak for 4 months
I’m really struggling, I’m 20 and have always kinda had health anxiety but recently it’s gotten much worse. I forgot something small then couldn’t get rid of the feeling I was having memory loss, dementia etc. I’m so scared of getting it since this. I feel awful & so depressed. I don’t know how to overcome it
Hi, have you tried CBT? It will help honestly x
For me, there's not just an anxiety cycle, there's also an on/off cycle. For several weeks the whole system is switched off and nothing I do or think will be a problem. Then it will kick in and hang around for a few days, listening to everything I say and think and using it against me when it deems appropriate. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy though I can sometimes think my way out of what logic tells me is false illness.
i m 23 years old only and i have anxiety since 6 years ago and still i have anxiety i m so afraid to go University my worst phobia is having attack 😭😭😭 please please i m so tired i m so exhausted i want my self back i m sending my virtual hugs to all of those who are facing this same situation

@@mmxmiranda bro you make me feels good ✋️thanks buddy
Anytime I have a medical appointment and they need to do a BP check my BP and heart rate goes through the roof. The anxiety starts the night before the appointment. Once I leave the appointment my BP goes back to normal. I tried many techniques but they never work. It takes the medical staff about 3 BP checks for them to see that it's anxiety and it decreases once I feel safe. I hate it. I will only do telemed appointments now. I will not go in unless I have to. I need help. I am so tired of it.
Same issue here - stress related higher than normal BP - all anxiety but my Doctor keeps telling me to remember its my health anxiety. I am petrified of the C word.
My fathers mother ( my grandmother) had brain tumor so i have health anxiety that i will get it due to genetics
my age is 18 and this thought of having it kills me mentally
someboady who reads this comment pls help me , will i also get it that too at young age of 20 s or 30 s or i will not ...my father and mother both in there 40' s have still not had symptoms if it but my mad mind thinks i will get it that too in young age 😢
My grandmother also died of a brain tumour at about the age I am at now. But CBT taught me to accept that none of us can know our fate and by not fuelling our anxious thoughts and feelings with safety behaviours, the thoughts and feelings go away, allowing us to enjoy life. Apply what you learnt from this video and other videos in my health anxiety playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLLLHgjmNNVTF5PT0N3sTulqL2JOfggva5.html and it will help.
@@TheAnxietyAttic thanks a lot
I have illness anxiety I hate the thought of being ill, when I am ill I mainly get on it with, but for some reason before and after I worry about getting colds or bugs. It started off as a thought probably 15 years ago and it's manifested itself into something huge, to the point I'm turning 40 this year, it stops me doing things, possibly why I've never had kids, as kids tend to get little bugs etc all the time. Starting to feel like nothing will help, this is also after therapy.
I'm only 11 and I think I have cancer
Is health anxiety treatable??
Yes. Most of my videos teach CBT which is the most effective treatment for Illness Anxiety Disorder. (Health Anxiety)
it's been a a month now i still afriad to have a heart attack im so scared i feel so helpless I'm an overthink i just want some help im only 17 I'm tired i want to be normal again help
Its been three months and i bet your now okay. So next time you experience something like this again just think that its your mind playing tricks with you and theres nothing wrong with you and it will all end soon
OMG I do all of this so I may have this
I'm a hypochondriac always thinking something is wrong with me. Now I have cancer.
I’m having shortness of breath, dizzy, light headed. I’ve been to the doctor many times and they can’t find anything.. maybe it’s anxiety?? But having these problems and not finding an answer makes it worse 😑
Martin, can't thank you enough 🙏🏻
I’m at that point where I’m just becoming hyper aware of my body. If I focus on an area of the body I can feel a pulse, blood flow through that area. So I google it and it’s said that I have a blood clot or my artery is about to burst
Doctor prescribed me Paroxetine cr 25, Dosulepin 12.5 , librium 10 mg.
I am taking medicines last 4 years. But i dont want to live on medicine 😢😢😢😢
i am am happy i found you 😫
Awesome video Mr. Burridge, you do not have Instagram?
I developed tinnitus 7 months ago and im pretty sure it was caused by my behaviour regarding health. Every time i felt something strange before i would go to google and check, be anxious for a couple of days and then back to normal. However, one night my Tinnitus appeared (already checked with doctors and my ears are super fine) and that attitude got me into a negative and anxious spiral that took control over my whole life. Now i am a little more in control but there are days where anxiety is too much. I want to get better, tame my tinnitus, befriend it and calm my anxious brain. It is going to be a long journey😂.
Hy ruben, I'm also suffering from tinnitus for the last 6 months... and the ringing sound is coming from the right ear.. it's jus freaking me out literally every single day.. went to the doctor and he said it might be bcz of the nerves around the ears and gave vitamin tablets for one month...if it continues then I have to go to ENT and check...so have you seen any doctors? How are you feeling now?
@@jesnajessy790 Hi! Yes I have seen two different ENT and both told me that me ears are fine but I still hear the sounds hahaha. It is more related to the brain than the ear. I have my days, some good and some not so good. The only thing I can recommend you is to stop visiting forums or checking for symptoms, try not to fight the T because that fuels it and play ambient sound in the background. Listening to crickets helps me a lot. Hope you get better or at least tame the sound !
99% of the things we worry about never happen. And when they do, we just take care of the problem. Or it just passes by, like the 1,000s of things we worried about before. What became of those worries? Anxiety is inherently irrational. It fools us by dealing in what ifs and worst-case scenarios. So we must frequently remind ourselves to stop catastrophising.
So very true.
I have been feeling extremely on edge since the past 6 months. I worry that I have a heart condition all the time and become fearful about the slightest sensations and bodily feelings. I have undergone many tests and have been checked out by 2 cardiologists. I have been assured that my heart is fine. Still I feel anxious and fearful on many days. Some days I am fine and I wonder how did I go through the entire day without feeling fear. And the next moment, the anxious feelings are back. it really is limiting my life and happiness.
Exact same, however I think I have a real problem but my mum says its nothing bad. Whenever I walk it hurts my feet or the ankles feel like they need to click but they dont have to, and it has lasted a few days so far but it hurts quite a lot my mum says just because I haven't been walking on them but I don't think so. Anyway, your comment is so relatable. and seeing a doctor helps me, but for 3 days at most. then i start getting anxious they didnt check the right spot or something
I had health anxiety since I was little. Whenever I learned about a disease, I would pray to God that I didn’t get it. As an adult, I can feel when my body is off and I have to figure out what it is and fix it myself. I can’t keep going to the doctors and when I do they just ignore me 90% of the time anyways.
#3 is very much like me.. i hate it.. its so hard living a life like this
For me, it all started when I did a school presentation about rabies. I fell into the usual rabbit hole of videos about rabid animals and people. I was scarred for life. The thing is, I have a terrible mouth breathing problem, some days I would wake up to my throat not being able to swallow properly. I associated that with hydrophobia, and had little panic attacks. The worst part? I didn't even have a close encounter with an animal lately, or if I did have, they are all vaxxed. Why am I so neurotic?
I’m just 19 and started having this in March when I got blood in my stool.. I was terrified got it all checked it’s nothing but now my mind can not get over it.. every pain I feel the first thought is always cancer or heart attack 😭 it’s gotten to a point where I can’t even sleep at night.. im constantly feeling chest pains, shortness of breath and dizziness because im always terrified… it’s so fukcin difficult to deal with😭😭 idk what to do.. my life isn’t at peace since March I haven’t been able to focus on anything
I think I am. Also we tend to dodge going out with friends too am I alone
Here are the questions we are suppose to put up somewhere , in case like me you will read things more if they are typed instead of in your own handwriting.
Where will I be in 5 years if I don’t change the way I manage my health anxiety?
How does my Hypochondria affect my relationships?
What would life be like if I didn’t have health anxiety?
What does my health anxiety prevent me from doing that I would like to do now?
Also thank Martin for the link to the health anxiety thought record. It was only when re watching this video that I noticed that this sheet is slightly different than the thought record that I usually use. I printed it off and put in my binder of Anxiety Attic worksheets to pick from daily.
Good lord these examples are exactly things I’ve said and done.
in 3 mouths i jave confinced my self i had foot cancer throat cancer ibs lungs were gonna cloaplse and evey time i drink coffe i convice my self im gonna die of a hearth attacm
Same thing with me
Everytime I come across a video on tiktok about a certain illness, or someone died because of this and that, after reading the symptoms, i feel like i have it. 😢
Ugh! Having health anxiety is horrible. Even though I got blood tests done last year, I'm still freaking out.
Same situation here
You changed my mind thanks
