I'm suffering tonight too, feel awful, have done since waking with panic etc etc at five this morning. So tired but worried about sleep.

I will fall asleep but it's the panic attacks in my sleep that get me.

Just have to keep thinking that it is just stress etc. But it's hard!

Hi there, I'm suffering tonight too, I've just recently been diagnosed with anxiety & I also suffer from

Emetephobia. It drives me mad!! I get worse at night time when I'm by myself my mind does overtime, I can never have a full night sleep without weakening up & having to then watch tele or distract myself before I feel better again. I constantly feel sick with this anxiety aswell it is taking over my life

I know ive got anxiety but until reading this i wouldn't have said i had health anxiety. I started my period last night and today i have been extremely bloated and nauseous. So have been looking up symptoms tonight and different conditions ect. Is this what health anxiety is like for any of you?

[lucasbear22 in reply to L27Anne]

yes hun because youre not accepting its normal youre convinced its not right, thats health anxiety your anxious about your health even though its fine but youre not convinced it is...if that makes sense x

Makes sense, i like to check just incase. So am doubting that im ok / believing i could be ill. Bizarrely never though of it as part of my anxiety. . . But i don't go to doctors or hospitals ( for myself ) anymore. Its the worst trigger. I take kids because i can face my fears for them. But if im ill its only me who will suffer if i don't go. So i havnt seen a doctor/nurse for over 5 years x
