Does anyone constantly worry about their health? I can wake up feeling fine then next minute a small cramp will have me worrying about lots of things. So frustrating

But when should we take our symptoms seriously?

See a doctor get a blood test and EKG. If that comes back fine then you know its anxiety. it's really all you can do.

Hell yes!!! ..... But mine is always the same thing... never a knee ache or a sore throat... that's fine. But I cannot mentally tell myself that when I am off balance, dizzy or chest pain that all is well

We are supercharged with anxiety and so that's where our brain goes. Have you listened to Weekes on Youtube? She talks about changing our minds so we aren't so prone to negative thinking. One way I conquer my fear, is a go for a brisk walk or just run up and down some stairs. If I live, well, I guess I'm OK!
