I don't understand what your asking? There is no such thing as a silly question on here but if you could explain what you mean I will try and help.

Hi natty please believe me when I say I do understand what you are feeling I have had health anxiety for years but it wasn't untill I had a breakdown that my terror and fear of dying became overwhelming. I am a health care proffesional and so have insight into many illnesses and topped with acute anxiety I was self diagnosing myself to the point that I was so scared all I could do was cry...this was six years ago.I had an excellent gp who initially put me on escatelapram 10mg which was not effective and for 6 weeks I just felt I'll .....reinforcing my health issues...I now know I was feeling side effects of meds...I increased dose to 20 mg it took a while to take effect but they worked and my symptoms disappeared...I mean I stopped feeling I'll I couldn't see lumps bumps and other potential nasties and my thinking about illness and death just altered....I did have a couple of glitches when I tried to reduce the dose but these disappeared when I went back up.....I have however had to change meds recently....had awful++++

Side effects BUT no death anxiety.....

I think that if you give the meds chance to work....and it took 6-8 weeks for mine to begin to help....then you may feel very different....try to have c.b.t I found this v vv helpful....however your health is one of the most precious gifts you have if you do feel physically ill or worried about your health do speak to your g.p . Do you have a network of friends or family close by?

Some times if you can voice your fears it takes someone their influence away and you may feel more in control..I wish you health and happiness
