health anxiety

03/29/2015

So, anyone else here suffer from health anxiety?

I am really struggling with it at the moment.

I have had it since i was a little girl, my DAD used to always talk about things wrong with him, and when he got together with my NAN all they would talk about is death. so gradually i would think things were wrong with me.

something that especially affects me is my heart, i always worry I am going to have a heart attack, especially because i suffer from ectopic heart beats which causes me to feel a thump in my chest.

I have had that for about 3/4 years now, and i got used to it, and my health anxiety got better, until this year, I moved to Norwich with my partner in July last year, I joined a gym and was getting healthy.

But then my heart started skipping noticably, and i started to have massive panic attacks (having to call ambulance) i got checked out, heart monitor, blood tests etc and everything is fine, they say it is stress, and i understand, moving for the first time, to a new place, new job, getting engaged. ALL very stressful. but i still cant shake something is wrong, and it has stopped me form wanting to exercise, or go out and do things.

i feel a prisoner of my health anxiety. and i hate it.

It could of come back because of everything that has changed, but either way its back, and it was a bugger to calm the voices in my head last time, i feel its gunna be even harder this time :/

My oldest son does it. BAD. Like, he will be in tears convincing himself he's dying because his foot went to sleep.

I have anxiety bout heart attacks all the time. I drink & smoke plus I'm overweight ...my bio mom died at 38 (I'm 37) so I'm told. My adoptive mom died at 46 of pneumonia cus her drinking killed her immune system. I think exercise can only strenghen your heart. Maybe just walking everyday since you have palipitations.

I think if you start exercising it will help your anxiety. The old saying "a healthy body is a healthy mind" has a lot of truth
