Hi there

I am worried because this started when I was stressed like overthinking negative things that i have a serious illness particularly heart. I felt like i cant take a full deep breath sometimes and it makes me panic. I had panic attack twice and it scares me. Despite my doctors assurance that its all in my mind. I am still worried and anxious because i kept on googling my symptoms and it makes me crazy. I once told it is hypochondria. I am still anxious. Anyone here have the same symptoms as mine? Pls.help.. I consulted differenr doctors but still anxious

I am the same, started worrying I am becoming a hypochondriac. I look at every vein in my leg and looking if they look darker blue as this is my way of checking for blood clots weird i know as I had pins and needles on and off, Googled it and said blood clot, same as other problems I have with my stomach and worry it’s cancer. Still get palpitations and worry my heart is gonna stop even though had all the tests and my heart is fine according to the doctors. When you worry your breathing goes out of sync and start hyperventilating and having panic attacks knocks your nerves out of sync so you get physical symptoms it’s normal and won’t kill or hurt you.

Specifically to the heart. .I cant get a full deep breath and making me panic,plus i kept on checking my pulse. I miss my old self before i dont suffer any of this. This is so mad and scary.

Best thing to do is not Google,I used to frighten myself to death. My doctor told me only to Google the NHS website x
