Health anxiety

[Nlp1999]

My anxiety has gotten really bad in the last 3 weeks I’m losing sleep scared my heart is gonna stop while I’m sleeping feel like I’m not breathing properly even when I’m awake and my heart rate drops under 60 when I’m sleeping so that makes me even more anxious I’m pretty much anxious 24/7 theres maybe a few hours in a day where I’m back to normal I don’t know how much longer I can deal with feeling like this

Have you thought about talking to your doctor about this? Health anxiety sucks so bad, meds and therapy could definitely help.

My Aunty took me to a doctor 3 days ago he said everything sounds fine and just suggested I do some walking since I’m concerned about my heart

You’re not alone in this

About two months ago I became breathless and doctors blamed it on sudden development of asthma which I doubted because I wasn’t being relieved by ventolin

One doctor actually blamed it on anxiety which I doubted to as I felt like I was suffocating in air and how could my brain 🧠 really make me feel this way

Also My heart rate at rest was 110 which it should’ve been 60

Day and night I was stressed and anxious I had a lung and heart problems that no one could solve or give me answers to

Then a month later it all went away it all completely vanished

I was me AGAIN 😀

I was well for about 3 weeks then BOOM I WAS HIT AGAIN with another medical issue

I was showering and I got super dizzy literally the room was spinning I had some sort of vertigo going on for the next 4 days then my mind went searching for other problems it could give me and I thought that’s it I’ve got some sort of tumour in my brain and then my eyes started playing up

My vision was so unusual I thought I was going blind

Health anxiety has got the best of me

I’m exhausted day by day

And now my breathing issues have returned to haunt me again

So over this bullshit

Anxiety it can really kill you

And to add to that

No matter how much you know it’s anxiety your brain doesn’t want u to believe it’s anxiety so u just continue to think you’re gonna die from some sort of medical issue and that’s how anxiety just builds up and you can never feel like you again ):

Nice to know other people feel like this it’s so hard to not believe you have such problems you listed so hard it’s real scary 😐
