I'm suffering from severe health anxiety that I can't tell what's real and what's in my head anymore. It's killing me. My heart palpitations are constant and I can't sleep. I'm not myself around anybody. I want to be alone yet when I'm alone it's worse. I don't know how to get through this. Xanax does not seem to be working. I take one and my heart palpitations dull for a few minutes then a bad thought will pop into my head and I'll be back to square one. I don't know what to do. I can't go on like this.

Hi thanks for the reply. I get ones where my heart is beating so fast and so strong that it's going to burst out of my chest. I know it sounds dramatic but that's the best way to describe it

Hi I also suffer from health anxiety . Its considered hypochondriac. I didn't realize it was this bad till a few days ago. I also get palpitations . Where I feel my heart racing so fast . I have been cleared by a cardiologist though. sometimes I just have to keep reminding myself that it's all in my head . I was good to go the first few days I found out it wasn't any heart related problems but now I'm starting to wonder if the doctor missed something . Yeah ! Health anxiety blows . Try meditating it helps me get through my days I try to do it. Once I wake up in the mornings and before I go to bed at night . Also try and keep positive mind set I know it's super difficult . But doesn't hurt to try . I you ever need someone to talk too don't hesitate to reach out to me ! Hope you're feeling better . Much love xox
