Hi there all I'm going to start from beginning so will take a while. my health anxiety started when I was 17. I think it started when i hyperventilated one day at work, was the worst thing to happen to me at that time I thought that was it I'm dieing. Then one night I was laying in bed and had a pain in my neck, for some reason I thought a had a blood clot in my neck as the night went on the pain got worse and then the pain shot up neck and I shot out of bed screaming that I'm going to die. This just showed me now looking back the power of the mind, the fact I was going over and over it made me have real sensation. Any I lost complete control and went completely mental, if you've heard of it I've had (so I thought) to the point where I got section. It was horrendous worst month of my life. I had every test going, and you can guess it I was fit as a fiddle. They put zorocksat not spelt correct. Then they sent me home and it did help, but even with help and meds I couldnt get the paranoia out of my head. I've lost count how many times a ambulance was called because I thought I was having a heart attack etc. Any way I kind of got better ish, it's never gone away I've just managed it, but it's come back with a vengeance. 6 months ago I was taken in to hospital with a unknown illness and the doctors not knowing what was wrong has opened up a door and I feel like I did 12 years ago. I'm worried about my heart, blood clots , cancer, you name it. I'm at the point where it's destroyING my home life the miss is at breaking point and I'm worried it's going to rub off on my boy. And I can think right at work. I keep nipping off to calm down a bit. well I've had a bit of a vent and it's taken my mind right off my health anxiety for a bit. That's how I ended up on here. Sorry if I went on. good luck to all that suffer with it.

    Hi you d been through it. It's almost like I'm reading my own story because I have had some real bad health issues I. The last few yrs and that has caused my heart palpitations, I've had so many tests going a d they still dont know stats causing my symptoms. 3 yrs I've been Ill and it's been horrible. The way I've managed to cope with it is by getting my head I to, 'I will get better' frame of mind. It's helped a lot in some ways because my panic has stopped, but my health is still suffering. Doing meditation every night and trying to find natural remedies has been My only way forwards. I use a lot of oils and I'm starting acupunture soon aswell. But doing breathing teckneaks has helped a lot. Your not alone Hun, and I know you must be beside yourself by now. Keep fighting though, and keep an open mind. Sometimes our own minds are the ones that can heal ourselves more than anything Hannah Maloney

      If you want any more advice pls follow my pin interest page of Facebook and I'll try to help as much as I can. I've suffered with this for yrs off and on and I'm only just finding a way to cope with it and not to let it take over my life anymore. Confidence is also a huge part of this process, and keeping our minds focused on other things when you feel them coming on. I will try to explain all my own ways of managing if any body needs some extra advice. Thanks and I hope I can be of some help

      Nice to know I'm not the only sort of. Because I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. I've noticed I'm so negative wile this is going on that's why it's so hard to confident, when you have the same worries going on and on. It's just a terrible circle. And I've got drummed in that there is no way out that's it for ever. If I'm being honest I don't know what is the normal level of worring is any more. If that makes sense. Lol

    Hi Mark! I'm the same way as you. It's completely ruined me and I think if we all talk about our problems and try to keep calm together we can make it.
