Has anybody felt like their about to die any moment? I have HYPOCHONDRIA , at the extreme I always think I have congestive heart failure , cancer etc . I’ve been to the hospital over 70 times in the last year getting ekgs every time I go nothing’s wrong .

Hi you clearly have health anxiety which is surprisingly common. Are you getting any medical treatment for it? If not then I recommend seeing your doctor. x

Yes but it still wonders my mind and makes me freak out I had a innocent hurmur when I was 4 months and It went away , I still think I might have a heart attack any second

I don't think the meds you are on are working very well then and might need to be changed or upped. How about counselling? x

Yes I have, I spent a whole summer going to the clinic with various ailments and they told me to get a psychiatrist

Bless you heart! I know exactly what you are going through. I developed hypochondria 3 years ago after suffering my first panic attack. They are awful and if you are like me, you can't let them go. I've been fighting my way out of them for 3 years and while I am much, much better, I am far from the happy carefree woman I once was. Are you on any medication to help the anxiety? I will pray for you.
