So basically ive lost my entire mothers side of the family, due to various cancers. Over the years it has turned my into a hypochondriac i suppose. Ive become hyper aware of any sort of headache or body pain, I constantly check for any abnormalities. Ever since my wisdom teeth came in impacted ive had eye floaters and ringing in the ears, all which really freaked me out. The biggest issue is how it will eat at my mind 24/7, to where i cant concentrate on much else. Its been much worse lately since ive been sick, i took mucinex dm and im pretty sure i had my first panic/anxiety attack. Its been about a week and i havent felt right since then. Ive experienced depersonalization in the past, where i felt like i was playing a first person shooter game and my hands were not mine? Idk if that makes sense lol at the time i was unaware of anxiety and what it can do, i had convinced myself i had a brain tumor like i do most days. But thats basically it, ive been getting light headed and having my heart feel like its pounding out of my chest off and on, also when stressed my ear ringing seems worse. I just wanna know if anxiety can do most of these things so i can move on with life

Yes these are all common issues with anxiety believe me I have had them all plus more. It is amazing and sometimes unbelievable what anxiety can do to us physically and emotionally. Try not to worry as it will only make things worse. Try some breathing exercises, mindfulness, and meditation to help calm you down. It may sound silly but it does work.

Hello

I am so sorry for your losses , it is very hard when we loose loved ones as well as very common for us to develop Health Anxiety when we do

I know you feel there is a pattern here but this is not the case it is more circumstance that is out of our control but no way does it mean that it will happen to us

I remember when I was very young and my Dad had several heart attacks , I waited years for the same to happen to me , I ruined the best days of what looking back where maybe the best days of my life , but back then there was no one to talk to or understand , the advantage you have there is more support today so seek it and take it so you can get on with your life and enjoy these wonderful years ahead of you :-)

You have made a start by coming on here with people that understand and can share their experiences , strength and hope with you and next I would go and see my Doctor and explain exactly how I feel , even if you have been before go back again , it may not b medication that could be the answer but they can and I think it would really benefit you to get some therapy , also you may benefit from some Bereavement Counselling which you can refer yourself for online , just put Bereavement Counselling into Google and it should direct you to the site where you can apply

Keep coming back and talking because in a small way knowing you are not alone with all this really helps and if you have family members or good friends you can confide in then do and let them help you through this as well , all the support we can get is best :-)

Take Care x
