Do anyone avoid medical things on tv?

[skyfil]

I have started to avoid tv period. Sames like everyone is having a heart attack and am constanly scared. I have constant chest and back pain so I stopped watching TV. Medical shows makes me diagnosis myself with stupid things and it makes my anxiety worst. I've avoided searching symptoms online because that freaks me out as well. Doctor says i have anxiety so am trying to stick with that. I've had 4 ecgs within the past month and all my blood works came back fine. TV and the internet only makes it worst.

Hi James, I happen to watch medical and 911 shows on tv. But it's not for everyone. I would say watch what you feel comfortable with and do not google. The internet can have the same negative results as tv can. We need to pick and choose.

yea thats what i do i just can't watch uncomfortable things like i can't watch scary movies anymore

[Agora1 in reply to Jamescrider]

Funny James, as much as I love scary movies, they can get my heart going a little faster as well as the adrenaline rising. It depends how uncomfortable you want to be.

[Jamescrider]

I mean i might have a lil bump here in there but it hasn't been as crazy as it was then

Hey James, that's good news about the palps leaving you alone. It boils down to knowing what each one of us needs to keep anxiety at bay.

[Jamescrider]

im happy it left me but i still experiences shortness of breath here and there but yea

James, something will always replace the last symptom until all the symptoms are accepted as coming from one place and that's ANXIETY.

[Jamescrider]
