You probably don't think that your anxious or panicking but if your worried about your health it's in your mind all the time.

I worry about my health all the time which causes horrible symptoms, when I don't feel anxious I still get them because I'm constantly thinking about it.

Try some distraction and keep yourself busy, so some nice things that you enjoy x

There are different types of anxiety. I've learnt this since suffering with it myself. Yours sounds more like health anxiety.

When your dr told you it was anxiety did he suggest any treatment? x

Dizzychar has hit the nail on the head. Therapy is a massive key to dealing with this so we can cope with it. It can give you tools to deal with it. It's not for everyone, some people go and find they hate it others go and find it transforms their lives. Its not a quick fix or anything but its a better long term solution than taking meds alone if you are able to cope without them then that's brilliant. In order to stand a chance at ridding ourselves of it we have to findthe trigger/s and have tools to deal with it which is where the therapy comes into it xx

Have they suggested any therapy?

I get scared when I go in the car even with my partner! I fear a lot of things that in the past wouldn't have bothered me much if at all.i get emotional too, it's so draining and it does upset you x
