Always a new symptom

[BrianM1991]

The health anxiety has kicked up again, it’s seems I’m fine for awhile then something triggers it. This time it’s been pain under my left pectoral, my logical side tells me that I had it for a few weeks and had a ekg and chest X-ray a month an half ago so if it was cardiac related it would of happened. Always being 27 makes it more unlikely.

I feel like health anxiety makes it hard to live when you always think your dying. I wish I could only listen to the logical side of my brain because the more I think about it the worse it gets. Maybe someday I can overcome this because no matter how bad it gets I try my best to be hopeful.

It certainly does sound time consuming and also very scary to have these thoughts.....I found a great site you might be interested in that has some good info and techniques to help through the health anxiety ....hope it helps....

this is what i struggle with. its like ive gotten used to the old symptoms and my body says hold my beer and kicks it up a notch. ive had the tests too and its been going on awhile so surely it wouldve happened already. i try to practice acceptance but it doesnt always work. its hard to tell yourself its anxiety when you feel like youre going to die all the time. just know youre not alone.

Yeah ik what your talking about ! I just had a mri & MRa recently . I put it off for over a year ! I'm having pulse beating in my right ear ..so frustrating! I wasn't worried about a tumor or anything ! My doc thought maybe . So I had the test ,I think he couldn't find out what was wrong so that was the next step ! Yes I worried ,but it came back ..I'm ok no problem
