My blood pressure is always fine but wen I'm in the doctors o go really hot and feel faint and heart starts racing then when he does my pulse it's always high I just don't no why

It is probably the stress of going to the doctor - your mind associates the doctor with illness and anxiety and your body reacts to that. It sounds like an ocd issue in conjunction with your health anxiety

Is that what it is it's awful have u got that xx

My anxiety is different - it has to do with fear of not waking up when i go to sleep, as well as some other issues. But I have gottten a lot of control back from the anxiety as I attend therapy every week.

Or don't put that in my head please I have a fear of dying I think I have every disease going a hate it don't no how or why am like the way I am. How do you feel in your self like what symptoms do you have and how do you feel x

In my case the anxiety has a basis in that i had two heart attacks and a stroke last year. So it would be amazing if i did not have some kind of anxiety for at least a while. But as time has gone past and I attend my therapy, the symptoms have diminished. But they come back on a regular basis still - enough to make me continue with therapy. I am quite fortunate in that I myself am a therapist and have a partner who is a doctor- so I have access to immediate attention if I feel ill. So I have experience of anxiety disorder from both sides as it were.

Or really do sorry and u have an excuse but in my case I don't no it started seven years ago with me I've gone on to gave five wonderful kids all boys was fine with first two but my last three wouldn't get bloods done as I think they guna find everything wrong . The truth is I smoked marijuana for five year nearly everyday I think that's caused it tbh x

Well I rarely go out the thought of it makes me feel so ill some days I have the energy and the confidence to go to the local shop and my mams and then when I've been and got home I think to my self that' wasn't me that was a dream just doesn't seem real
