Hello. I'm so sorry you're going through this. I go through similar issues myself. It's so difficult to listen and completely trust family, friends, even DOCTORS when they say "everything is going to be fine" because of anxiety. Anxiety has such a hold on your brain. It's almost like a tug-of-war with your common sense and your anxiety. And usually, anxiety wins. It sounds like you're a healthy woman, and even though your Doctors are telling you that, your brain won't give in an accept it. I have been experiencing heart palpitations that I was told were caused by my anxiety, but like you, I am terrified it's something worse. The best advice I can give you is the advice I have been given. It's not helping me a whole lot, but a little bit. Try to get your mind focused on something else. I know this isn't easy, but try. Maybe a movie you love, or a tv show. A phone call with a good friend. Writing in a journal, drawing, going for a walk, listening to music. Coming here is a great place, we're a big community of anxiety sufferers who all support each other. I have started using essential oils. They do seem to help me. You can find them pretty much anywhere, I bought mine from the DoTerra company, but if you google "essential oils" you can read about them, the best kinds for anxiety and where to purchase them. Another idea is to write down the "truth". My therapist has me do this. She has me write down what is true. For example, you might write down, "The Doctors say I am healthy", and "My test results came back negative", "I haven't had many sexual partners", etc. Sometimes writing this down and re-reading it each time you have a worry about your health will help. And again, when all else fails, come back to Daily Strength and get reassurance from us that we go through it, too. You're definitely not alone. I'm sorry I rambled on a bit. I hope some of this has helped you feel a little better. Sending big hugs.

Thank you so much! It's horrible to live in this nightmare!! It is amazing to know there are others out there that are going through the same thing. It takes the fear of being alone away. I'll give all of those a try! I'm so desperate for relief. Thank you!!!

I have health anxiety too. I started having panic attacks and severe anxiety a few years ago and I've thought I was sick, am schizophrenic, having blood clots, just totally random things I was certain I had. Then going online and researching made it SO much worse.
I know it's hard but you have to trust your doctor. If you don't trust your current doctor, find a second opinion. Have you seen a mental health professional and explained your anxiety? I'm 27 now and began having panic attacks at 23 with no apparent trigger. Talk to a psychiatrist who can prescribe you something like Ativan or xanax for when you are having an attack. It helped me tremendously. Remember, you are not alone.

Thanks so much for your reply. I am so glad I found this place!!! I have an amazing doctor who is very understanding. She did give me some Xanax that I have taken a few times when I'm in total freakout mode lol I haven't fully told her that I think I am a hypochondriac, but I think I'm gonna make an app with her this week. I currently have a counselor that is also amazing! She believes that this is being triggered by something bigger and we are working to get to the bottom of it. It's just so exhausting. I just want to be normal!
