I hear a lot of you say you are scared of dying. I suffer from severe health anxiety and panic disorder. I too have had the constant panic that I'm going to die. I get this weird feeling that goes through my whole body it's very frightening. I used to get pain in my stomach, chronic nausea, pain around my liver, kidneys and ribs, lightheadedness, pain in the back of my head, pain in my legs, pain in my arms, lower back pain, feeling like I'm here but I'm not, memory loss and a few other symptoms. I had a heap of tests done by my doctor yet nothing showed in any of my scans or blood tests. Somehow I couldn't understand why nothing was showing up but my doctor said it was anxiety which made me feel like I was going crazy. Surely it all can't be in my head ?? So I went to another doctor and same results, anxiety is what I was told. So I was relieved and was reassured that there is nothing wrong with me. So I have now convinced myself that I'm fine and just keep reassuring myself that I'm ok, but still get anxiety just not as bad as I was and haven't had a panic attack for a few months now thank goodness. If you are worried then please go to the doctors and get some tests done to reassure yourself that you are ok. I am also seeing a psychologist which has helped me heaps and will continue seeing her as I find it helps me know that anxiety has many symptoms and signs but also helps me cope with living with anxiety on a daily basis as I won't take medication. Doctors seem to medicate to easily for anxiety and I hate popping pills. Stay strong and I hope that you go and talk to someone Take care X

Thank you for sharing your experience.
I've been really struggling with anxiety and after telling myself it is all in my head, I've been feeling better.
I struggle with my breathing as I constantly think my lungs will give up on me. I also find myself deep breathing. Yet I can go all night sleeping without waking up. I find that when I'm busy, it will disappear. I've been told I have to train my body back into breathing normally again.
Glad that you're finally getting better.
