Hi. kelly. This is called Health Anxiety and is a common symptom of nervous illness. You can recover, so take heart. Have you seen your GP? It is essential to get reassurance and possible temporary medication. Many on this site suffer from this, as did I. You name it I have had it!! It was not until I reached the age they call 'elderly' and found I had not died that I lost my fear of it. Keep away from heath websites, especially doctor Google. They just put the frighteners on you. When you learn to disregard the symptoms and don't stoke them with fear, they disappear. They do you know! Best wishes. jonathan.

Hi Kelly

Always been the same right from an early age to !

What age is "elderly " lol ...50 ? please dont say yes , but anyway thats the age I am JUST !

I have had good times , then things have come along & knocked me back again & to be honest the older I get the more worried I seem to get knowing I am getting older ! but as Jonathan says "still here "

Something by coming on this site has helped me the suggestion "dont google it " come on here instead , that is what I have been doing & its alot more helpful than Goggle

Have a look at the posts , I am sure you will relate & keep posting yourself

Your not alone sweetie, I got a health anxiety as I worry about headache and think what if brain tumour, losing weight-think stomach cancer and etc so its hard but we will get better from it with positive thoughts and counselling too, I'm waiting for CBT counselling as well so have you ask gp for CBT counselling to help you to come over your health fears? Why don't you try take b complex and magnesium to help you to relax bit more as I'm on them and they does help x

[Minnie12]

P.s its anxiety makes us and everyone think bad things but its nothing really, try relax and ignore bad thoughts x

I suffer with health anxiety,if i get a pain in my arm i think its a stroke or a pain in my head its a brain tumour,im not as bad now as ive been reassured by the hosp and doc,its a horrible thing,every twinge i get i panic then start to get lightheaded,reassurance is the best for me,just keep telling myself theres nothing wrong x

[Minnie12 in reply to warkie]

I'm the same as you warkie!! I had low werid dull headache on my right side of head near the back of neck on & off for about 1-2 week and was pariond about brain tumour but my nurse reassured me many times that I don't have it, but I still feeling bit worried and doctors can't lie to us right?

[warkie]

No they dont lie,if something was wrong they would send you straight to hospital,a couple of weeks ago i thought i had a brain tumour cos i kept feeling lightheaded and felt like my head was going to explode,so i went for my eyes testing because they can find anything behind your eyes,i was all clear,im just going to have to live with this horrible illness and try and not think about it,when i dont i feel great xx
