hi first please see your doctor as someone as young as you should be enjoying life not be constantly worrying about your health ! have a word with your doctor about getting a short term treatment ie a anti depressant ! please know your not alone there are lots of people like your self that suffer health anxiety myself included ! i wish you all the best take care david

The symptoms you are feeling could very well be due to anxiety. However, I would advise you to get checked out by your GP. Sometimes just having a medical person examine you and tell you there is nothing wrong can really help to put your mind at ease, rather than sitting and worrying and possibly making the symptoms worse.

Hi. I was the same age as you when I first started with Panic Attacks. I had a terrible fear of cancer . My Gp put me on medication but I had three children and that was a motivation to take back my life. That was 40yrs ago and I am again suffering Health Anxiety. I have had CBT for my Panic Attacks and this was great so I can immediately stop a Panic Attack. Dont let your fears take over your life. We all have aches and pains and illnesses throughout our lives and our bodies are fantastic at fighting illness. Trouble with Health Anxiety is we are always

scanning our bodies looking for symptoms . And thinking the worse. Looking back I have wasted most of my life worrying about death instead of enjoying life. Just tell yourself there are lots of people alive and well and enjoying life and many reaching 100yrs old and that you are going to be one of those people. Take card x
