Health anxiety

Hello my friends. I have a question, does anyone spend hours and days thinking about your health. Everything I feel makes me think I'm a die. My elbow hurts or I get acid reflux I think the worst. I've been checked out more than once but all these pains and spasms make me think the worst. Does anyone else go thru this? If yes what helps you? Please I need advise.

Yes. We all do. It’s part of the anxiety and panic. I deal with the very bad days and enjoy the good ones. I wish there was a magical pill that would make me whole again.

Yes it is part of being human, the body is strong but also at the same time weak, stress will exacerbate any little twinge, what we eat can set of our stomachs, it is part of life, I have had these on and off all my life, I started out on the wrong page, born during WWII allergic to milk. Posture and stress can set of my headaches, neck and shoulder pain, also middle back, I have a great chiropractor & masseuse which I am not using now due to the virus. I have a heating pad, a tens unit, hot showers, yoga anything to help myself, I am 78. So be kind to yourself, I do not worry about anything and I keep my stress level, low to none.I wish you well, sending love n hugs......
