anybody worry about health?

[anxiety860]

Any ache/pain/something feels off. I JUMP TO THE WORSE THING. Even though in the past oh 3 months. I have had 3 blood tests. (Kidney function, Vit-D, and CBC) Chest x-ray, ekg, had doctor feel lymph nodes, said it was normal. Oh all these tests came back 100% normal too.  

I just worry about my health EVERYDAY and want to stop.  

For instance I get tired, and lose weight, i freak out.  Even though I know anxiety/stress can make people tired, and not want to eat.  Just wondering if anybody else is ever CONVINCED that they have some illness.

Oh My! I thought I was alone! Yes! Every single thing worries about my health. I suffer from GAD, and on the past few years I ended up in the hospital thinking about heart attack or stroke. Had all medical tests done and I was fine. I took Lexapro for almost 3 years, stopped so I could get pregnant. I was fine for almost 2 years without meds. But when my kid was around 1, it all came back. I just had a doctors visit, a bunch of tests done, all came back normal, even a thyroid ultrasound, cause the doc felt a nodule, but thank God there was nothing there! I'm always stressed out, lost a bunch of weight, which I should be happy, but now I'm freaking out about it! I'm weighting myself like 10 times a day, thinking I may have a hidden cancer or something..... I'm praying this shall past! It's horrible to wake up in the morning and check your heart rate, jump from bed and go weight! I'm want to be free!!!! :/

I'm the same way for over a year I think I'm having a heart attack most days I fight hard to stay outa er I've been at one point in time to three different er rooms in one day to do good some times others really bad I also fear pills so I can't take SSRIs stuff like that without freekn out benzos I got addicted to not knowing that I could so its really put fear in me. I do take xanax when I'm in a very bad situation.I have PVCs and sometimes some runs of nsvt. I'm so scared to go into public or exercise. I hope you feel well soon.

I feel this also

That completely sounds like me!! For the past 3 years I have been this way, and have struggled to get over it!! I have had the HIV fears, didn't want to touch anyone, and constantly washing my hands. Then I became pregnant with my second son, and it switched to convincing myself I was going to bleed out during my c-section.  This one was awful because I was so anxious I ended up delivering him at 36 weeks because I was so stressed.  Then after he was born I switched to worrying about muscle diseases because I had a Grandmother pass away from one. That was awful because I was constantly checking my strength etc.  I then went to cancer, and constantly going to the little clinic to have the nurses check my lymph nodes!  Then worried about brain tumors, and now it just depends on the day what I'm worried about.  It is an awful thing, and has totally stollen my joy!  I think that sometimes the devil just can convince our minds because he wants us to be this way!  I pray everyday for the Lord to give me strength, and guard my mind from these thoughts.  I will say I have begun to feel better, but sometimes it is a real struggle!  Praying for you!  Blessings, K

I can totally relate to how your feeling.
My worse fear is a heart attack as well.  I have gone to the ER 2x in the last 6 weeks because I was sure I was having a heart attack.
All test came back 100% normal and EKG and heart monitor showed nothing wrong with my heart, however I am not convinced.

Every ache or pain I get I think ... OMG it's my heart.  
So I know how u feel .. I really do and it awful.

I get this daily, klonopin will help short acting because its a benzo I toke ativan for two weeks and you have to stop eventually so an ssri would be a better choice
