It is observed due to anxiety and intrusive thoughts triggering, then and then physical condition changed such as B.P increases, head full of dullness, trembling etc which are unbearable. What should I do at this juncture to avoid these unwanted situation. Your suggestions are solicited
Yea, my parents work almost every day and I'll find myself wandering around the kitchen insanely dizzy, then I get a text and boom, disorientation be gone.
To help when your on your own put your head phones on listen to meditation and positive self help on you tube or just listening to some music that makes you You happy or failing all of that ring someone this won’t last forever trust me
Same here . I feel better now knowing I’m not the only one but it’s gotten to the point where everyday it’s me worrying about some new pain . Heart attacks , brain cancer , lung problems the list goes on . It’s so exhausting and I just wanna feel normal again
Does anyone else feel like if they ignore a fake symptom it will actually turn out to be something and then by the time you get it checked it'll be to late
omg yessssss, i dont k ow what to do. if im going to tell or am i just being paranoid but also paranoid because it maybe true but I its already too late
Yes. I hate that I can’t seem to trust my instincts sometimes. I have been telling myself that unless I’m actively dying, that whatever it is will either get better (problem solved) or worse, at which point I will allow myself to get it checked out. So far, everything has gotten better. And somehow that works in my mind because I have made a decision, so I don’t worry as much because I know I’m not going to act right then.
Honestly a huge thing is seeing cancer all over the internet, on tiktok instagram, everywhere its about getting chemo, or cancer awarness. It's gotten to the point for me where im constantly stressed about having cancer, even with no symptoms. Even just the word cancer is kind of triggering to me.
Yes I was listening to this video in the shower and I cried when she mentioned that anxiety is hard on the body because this is so true. I feel a bit better now.
Vega Vein I’m only 19 and my dad told me my family has a history of prostate cancer. That same day I got worried about it looked up symptoms and my body started performing the very same symptoms like struggling to pee or peeing in bursts. I’ve never had symptoms that are frequent enough to call it a problem but my mind likes to think up all the times I’ve gotten up to pee at night and all the times I have had trouble getting it out. This is what happens when you want to be healthy as much as you can. You start making things up, the mind is very powerful and we all need to understand that the doctors spend years studying this stuff. You do not know more than your doctor and the symptoms are not serious at all. Especially when you are young eat healthy and work out.
Anyone feels like you tell your body “No,stop, I know this is anxiety, we felt it in the past, nothing is going to happen” and your body is like. “I know that, but what if, like, what if THIS is the actual, real health problem, and not anxiety anymore”
Yes… all the time… it is a matter of time before something new comes up and gets me to the low point I was before… it is really exhausting and depressing.
I’m crying. I’m exhausted. My life has been taken over by health anxiety. Everyday I swear I’m having a heart attack or stroke. I’m afraid to die, I’m afraid to live.
Yeah, don't do it! I've been there googling all the time, frantically, like a maniac. It gives you no answers and induces even more anxiety, it's a vicious cycle that's so hard to break away from. Everyone is different, every disease has multiple symptoms in multiple people, chances are close to zero you'll self-diagnose over the internet. Go see your doctor if in doubt, and remember be honest and don't be shy asking questions.
Does anyone else feel worse at night? I wake up feeling happier and more positive in the morning and as the day goes on my health anxiety just creeps back when there is something happening with my body. And at night I just feel gloomy.
I was 26 when it started and in these two years and diagnosed myself with every type of cancer, literally every single one. I now surf between recovering and falling again but am a lot better. I hope we all find peace in our wild minds.
Right? I'm always thinking "today will be my last day on Earth"....wtf?!?! Imagine how 90+ year-olds must feel everyday. They must have OVER! THE! TOP! Hypochondriasis!
God bless u brother, I'm a Virgin, I've never been with anyone either man or woman, I'm 26 yrs old and yet I heard on TV that u can get hiv from a barber, since then I've been on health anxiety, it's suffocating me,
@@kevinabuuh4570 I'm a barber and the HIV thing that you mention does happen but is really rare! So we normally do everything to keep that from cutting and sometimes will stop the service if anything like that is even possible like if we see a cut or we gave ourselves cuts. Normally what we would do if we see that is stop and immediately take care of the bleeding so that we don't swap blood or anything else like that. Don't worry at all about that cause most barbers I know take that seriously and will do whatever it takes to keep the both of us safe. Not saying its impossible to happen because obviously it does and thats why they teach us this but most barbers and cosmetologist will take these measures to help and keep both the client and themselves safe! Hope this has helped that fear, its really rare that it happens I promise!
I’ve been doing the same thing I sat on the couch for like 3 hours paying attention to my body and what’s going on thinking about symptoms and why’s this feel this way and what not until I finally caught myself watched some anxiety relief video and everything felt better immediately
Me too AJ!!! That lessens the anxiety to know I’m not alone in feeling this way. My ex husband was horrible at just “being” there for me. He made my anxiety worse by using an unkind tone and saying “there’s nothing wrong w you. It’s just anxiety. Take a pill.” Very dismissive and I find, for me, dismissiveness makes the anxiety worse!
@@KaldoniaKaldonia my husband says the same thing.. Then he will say something to make it worse and laugh when I freak out or cry. I wish he understood. 😢
@@brokendougllama4621 When i withdrawed from Bensos i were so scared to become psychotic, because i were hallucinating and not getting any sleep. And when i were overthinking it, it made the hallucinations worse. So yeah, i guess thats kind of a thing. But if youre completely normal, i really dont think you can THINK yourself into a psychosis. But you could worsen it if you already have it. And btw im no doctor so dont take my words for granted, dont take a doctors word for granted either.
@@brokendougllama4621 Ahh i see. Ive had Depersonalization for over 10 years, and im telling you, youre are NOT going insane. Thats a natural reaction from too much stress and anxiety, and not psychosis.
It is so saddening and reassuring at the same, to see that I am not alone. Tired of diagnosing myself with all extreme illnesses but it’s so difficult to stop. Sometimes I am able to convince myself that it is just anxiety, other times it blow up the roof and I feel so difficult to breathe. My heart goes out to everyone who is suffering from this!
Thank you. I’m a 33 year old man & I feel like I’m insane. I’m exhausted & scared all of the time & you hit the nail on the head for how I feel & how irrational I Get. When I’m going through it & I’m alone at home I’ll take myself to a public place incase I collapse that way people can help. Everything scares me. Hopefully myself & everybody who goes through this can get past it.
I’m 38 and have been dealing with this for so many years. I’ve yet to find a therapist who seems to help me. My latest scare is that I have breast cancer. I’m so tired of being trapped in my own thoughts. I try and stay positive and think rationally, but I always go back to ruminating thoughts. You are not alone I assure you 💜
I’m fighting anxiety for about 20 years!! I went to doctors and they gave me tablets and I couldn’t take them because of fear side effects ! I’m still fighting with this anxiety! Please help what to do to get away from from this disease out of taking tablets, do you think this tablets are safe to take them please!!
I saw a video of a girl saying she has throat cancer and immediately I realized I had a mild throat pain hat wasn't going away. I was 100% convinced I had throat cancer (I had a tonsil stone) for two weeks.
In the comments to re-assure young people. My health anxiety started in my late teens, I am 40 now and have survived all the fatal illnesses I thought I had over the past 20+ years. This is a horrible life stealing condition and it breaks my heart to see so many people here in the comments suffering.
Please visit a psychologist it will help you...I am going to start my first session from this monday....since last month I m dealing with health anxiety...now I have fear of everything..even pooping also..I know sounds funny bt it's true...everyday my body create new symptoms....this corona thing sucks
I myself have a pretty terrible immune system because I get sick with minor illnesses constantly, like twice a month. And it has really made my anxiety worse. I caught Covid one 2021 and i was bedridden even with my young age. My father also got pneumonia and he nearly passed away, so that also affected me. Ever since, I’ve been convinced that every quivering breathe and chest pain is my lungs failing me. It’s so tiring staying up at night worrying that I’ll just stop breathing if I sleep.
I can only begin to image the amount of people out there who are suffering from this without knowing that it's even a thing. I struggled with Health Anxiety Disorder for well over a decade, completely unaware of what it was until I stumbled upon this video by mere coincidence...
I come back to this video every time my health anxiety gets real bad… like currently. I cannot thank you enough for this video, I relate to every statement you make and it assures me. I’ve had multiple scans and seen various heart specialists that tell me I’m fine but I always seem to think something is wrong. My anxiety is bad and it destroys me daily. Thanks for this video
Me too, right now my throat feels weird and I feel like I might have throat cancer or something. Or sometimes when I see flashing lights or something, I feel like I’m gonna have a seizure, when I’ve never been diagnosed with epilepsy or anything like that. It’s so draining, and it only happens at night. I hate it so much, it’s so bad...
A tip for everyone including myself. STOP GOOGLING SYMPTOMS. There are many many many similar symptoms to either an illness or just nothing in general. Google is a horrible place to look for symptoms. Ur brain loves to come up with symptoms that u don’t even have. Trust me I had fatigue for 5 months and I diagnosed myself with so much diseases and it turns out it was just my anxiety and my sleeping schedule. Or a mole that changed on me was just natural and nothing bad.
I can’t stop googling my symptoms, because I tried to searching my symptoms up to get closure that it was nothing, but it only built up my nervousness. I got a palatal tremor a couple months ago because I had a severe panic attack. I legit think I damaged my brain
This... I had too much caffeine one day, had a panic attack because of it that I thought was a heart attack, and boom. Now every time my body does anything I'm convinced that I'm either having a heart attack, have a blood clot, or am suffocating. Despite the fact that I'm a 22y who isn't overweight, exercises daily, eats healthy, barely drinks and doesn't smoke. On top of that, multiple doctor have told me I'm fine. I can't afford CBT because I'm unemployed, but covid has made employment in my field a pipe dream. I just wish I could go back to 13 months ago before I had that first panic attack.
For 22 years of my life I was "normal". Than everything changed when I had that first attack. Its been so long i kind of forgot how I used to feel back than. All I remember is that life was good with only little everyday worries. Now everyday I suffer with pain and all the stress that comes with it. I've lost count of how many different symptoms I had. This is a never ending cycle of suffering!
Hang in there now I'm 51...its consuming but I realize that I am creating this which is just as bad...for me therapy and support meetings help me but it always there. I'm used to it and I sometimes talk to it and let it visit but move it fwd. I also am used to journaling my feelings...takes some digging...the trauma pain grief anxiety is in there...gets murky but I have to keep pointing at that not my physical health
@@krisscanlon4051 I am constantly checking my body for lumps, had the doctors check my testicles several times for cancer (too much information lol) but they say I'm fine. Any advice on how to help this cycle? I'm 28, have a 3 year old so I dont want to be like this for the rest of my days.
I feel the same way honestly. I can't just have a nice normal day without thinking I have cancer or over-analysing random body sensations. I have an amazing girlfriend and friends but I feel so guilty because 80% of the time, my mind is on my 'health problems'. I'd be such a happy and contented person if I could just get rid of my health anxiety but I go through phases where it ruins my life. Hopefully we can all get better, all the love x
The fun one is when you look up a Symptom and get ‘It’s usually harmless but occasionally it can be a sign of -insert serious illness here-‘ and my brain always goes ‘Whelp must be the serious thing’.
ladyviva I never had any issues with health anxiety before lockdown started. I don’t think I’ve gone two days since March where I haven’t body checked or looked up “symptoms”. You’re not alone!
I’ve had such bad panic attacks that part of my face goes numb and I immediately think I’m having a stroke. Scariest feelings ever it gets exhausting living with health anxiety.
Ive cancelled vacations, plans with friends / bf because of this… Im so over feeling like this everyday, its no way to live…praying for everyone suffering from this 🙏🏻 hope we get through this 💜
Long walks , cold shower , meditation , yoga and deep breathing can help you .. also get a blood test and blood pressure done if doctor says ur healthy believe it
U have social anxiety disorder too don't worry , practice cpt, regular breathing exercises, mindfullness techniques, sleep at least 8 hours, use temporary medications that improve serotonin in your brain 🫰
I start to google their cause of death and search for the symptoms within myself. I’ve been like this for several years but it’s been really bad the last few months. I get tension headaches everyday and I’m always thinking the worst. This is a horrible way to live.
Love the video. It’s just so so tiring day after day it’s a never ending cycle. Anxiety out of nowhere googling symptoms then feeling symptoms and fearing the worst
Please visit a psychologist it will help you...I am going to start my first session from this monday....since last month I m dealing with health anxiety...now I have fear of everything..even pooping also..I know sounds funny bt it's true...everyday my body create new symptoms....this corona thing sucks
It’s so weird I was having really bad anxiety thinking acid reflux was a heart attack the other day. But when I met my dad at a restaurant for dinner, I felt absolutely fine the whole time, until I got home then started feeling it again that night. The distraction takes it away but I can’t seem to get that distracted on my own at home, these videos help but other than that I’m right back at it. Exhausting 😔
That's why daily habits and distractions are imperative for handling anxiety. Being productive and living your life as normal will give you reassurance that the condition and symptoms still aren't incapacitating you from tackling goals. Start with one step at a time, until your daily schedule is a bit too full for you to worry about your health 24/7. Anxiety symptoms will always be there, but just knowing that you still have power over them is extremely empowering when it comes to dealing with them.
So for 2-3 weeks now, I have chest tightness in the left, some times associated with shortness of breath, and feeling like have to focus more on vision, sore eyes, I have no other pain or any and my tightness in chest resolves by doing exercises for relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, but when I eat spicy food the tightness in chest gets worst the next day, any suggestions to cure, also this all started the day I took too much stress and googled my symptoms and get very much depressed, till now it's happening I am only 19
Hypochondria is more struggle when people always preach "Listen to you gut feeling". Every symptom we experience feels like a gut-feeling and that starts making it worse.
The main reason behind all anxiety is the rules and teachings we get from childhood Life is not that difficult but our society has made it so complicated Even death is natural but people have identified death as sinister and dark
Hit the nail right on the head. I've had anxiety over my blood pressure. Even though it has been fairly in control sometimes my anxiety kicks in and I'm afraid to check it yet afraid to not know. Sometimes these attacks are so bad I've went to the ER. Our minds are very strong. I hope everyone that suffers from this finds relief because it is no joke and can drive a person nuts.
I used to be heavily addicted to googling symptoms in june 2021 and after that month ended I completely stopped googling them and I felt amazing up until this month where I kind of began googling but not as much, trust me if you don’t google for about 5 days you will feel way better
Almost everyday I keep on worry about death, cancer, hiv, hepatitis, corona virus, the flu and the list goes on SMH but one thing I have to do is pray and believe in Jesus mighty name amen and amen.
It sucks. I’d be fine for weeks but suddenly I get a mild pain and think of the worst. Last week I got a mild headache and have been thinking about it since. I just can’t get it out of my head thinking about glaucoma, braincancer and what not. The sad part is this thinking actually feeds headache and starts a perpetual cycle.
I was literally having one and somehow ended up here and now....it's gone. But now that I thought about the fact that it's gone, it'll come back. Fuck. LOL
@@teddylovee264 😔 I thought I had a brain aneurysm and the other day and went to the emergency room. They told me it was tension headaches and I got prescribed to medication.. but getting there was so horrible because everyone thought I was making it up to get attention
MVIIOS every body is diferent... we all have different symptoms and some of us are more sensitive to others. I am very sensitive when it comes to symptoms i feel EVERYTHING , and i also freak out because i havent been diagnosed yet. I thought i had every illness out there... ive been getting alot of testing this month since ive been going to the ER alot ... physicians dont seem to do much except to refer you to specialists which that can sometimes take long
@@teddylovee264 yes. I keep trying to diagnose myself through the internet. And I keep going back to the hospital all the time. I thought I had cancer, brain tumors, HIV, skin cancer and so much more. Idek how I got like this.. I used to be okay.
You are so right when you mentioned how EXHAUSTING it is. I’ve been dealing with it for two years now. It all started with just a strange feeling one night in my chest… since then ive just experienced one strange symptoms to another endlessly, I’ve diagnosed myself with heart failure, kidney disease, fatty liver disease, BRAIN CANCER, FATAL FAMILIAL INSOMNIA, EARLY ONSET DEMENTIA AT 33, lymphoma, bone loss, glaucoma, and NOW it is plaque build up in my brain and undiagnosed stroke all these things that doctors just somehow missed and I have convinced myself I have hydrocephalus from being a preemie and having a large head 😂 that are all surely finally coming to get me… brain shrinkage etc loss of brain and just water in there now. I’ve even convinced myself that I can HEAR the fluid in my head… It’s all driving me crazy. I’m terrified of losing my mind. It all started just one time with a heart flutter feeling / first ever panic attack and now two years have flown by and I don’t even remember any of the months, just the constant anxiety. I think I’ve exhausted my brain, just constant brain fog and negative cognitive symptoms during the day. Only feel well and normal at night. I’m so tired. I tell myself over and over that it’s just anxiety, I’ve seen so many doctors from different hospitals they have ALL said it’s just anxiety that there are no problems but still I CONTINUE finding problems. It really is horrible. I feel for anyone suffering from this. The doctors all have said it’s anxiety and prescribe antidepressants, but when I take the meds I get even more crazy symptoms I convince myself are side effects, eventually I stop taking them because of the added worry. I know it’s needless, I tell myself it’s just stress and anxiety, to relax… then I have thoughts that anxiety and depression can actually cause disease and death!! and it just absolutely devastates me. My heart goes out to everyone dealing with this. My mind is absolutely my worst enemy. It’s unbelievably depressing.
Does anyone get a new “problem” and then days or weeks after, see signs (videos, newspaper clippings, commercials, etc.) about the perceived problem and get even more convinced you have it because these are signs solidifying it or are warning you? Or even get vivid/realistic dreams that you have an illness and then you’re convinced when you wake up that your dream was trying to warn you?...OCD/hypochondriac diagnosis here.
Yup, then develop more symptoms that you never had almost instantly. It gets better though. Been years of dealing with it, CBT therapy is helpful, and self Talk.
@@MyInnerHealingJourney same here. Matched 100% whatever she says. 90% of time I think about my unknown health issue, which is killing me. I called 911 once and went to emergency 3 times. No matter what doctors say I don't get satisfied. Maybe I will but just short period of time.
I have severe anxiety, I’m 22, every time I feel like something’s wrong I go down a rabbit hole of google searches. So far I have convinced myself I have a Brain tumor, MS, ALS, and many others. It’s so nice to see I’m not the only one who deals with this, hope everyone who suffers with this can figure things out, I’m still working on it. Dr. Tracer thank you so much for this video, you have brought some relative to peace to my mind.
Same, dude i thought that i had a brain tumor, untill i got an mri done. The reports came back clear, so now i have convinced myself i have ms even though my mri came back good.
@@sworthyboy same here. I had MRI of the brain and came back clear so I thought maybe I have lesions in the spinal cord. But I know that this causes different symptoms, it’s usually in progressive MS and older people. Brain MRI should have reassured me but here I am. It’s ridiculous.
@@sworthyboyI got really sick the second time I got Covid and later got post Covid. I started feeling tingling and numbness in my right leg and arm. I did think much of it but decided to go see a doctor. The doctor who wasn’t the smoothest so to speak told me cold turkey it could be symptoms of MS. My whole world came crashing down. I had an MRI on both brain and spine with that contrast liquid. I had to wait 3 months for my results due to the high pressure on the healthcare system during the pandemic. I was a complete mess during those months with constant stress and anxiety. I was constantly monitoring my body. Every tingle, numbness, spasms or twitching was confirmation to me that I had MS. The results came and I was fine. They could not see a single thing wrong with me. They even told me that my brain looked better than it should due to my age (I was 35 at the time). They usually see some age related changes on the gray matter but I had very little. This was almost two years ago and even though I have papers telling me I’m completely fine I still monitor my body constantly actively trying to find something wrong. Those three anxiety filled months waiting for what I thought was basically a death sentence reprogrammed my brain and I can’t correct it.
@@sworthyboy Same here. I wasted so many days going to hospital and Dr. appointments suffering (in advance) from all these things I thought were going to happen to me. Worst thing they could find at the time was a Vitamin D deficiency, which contributed to the Health Anxiety Disorder. I even thought I suffered from a yet-to-be-discovered condition until I stumbled upon this video by mere coincidence...
I often fear that if I become happy with life, that I will get a devastating diagnosis or die in a car accident. My cousin died in a car accident, so the fear is real.
I have major health anxiety. I went to er today and had a ct scan done on my heart area I have been to er several times over the last 2 months. I feel cured but time will tell.
Me too. I think I just needed to hear this video and have some closure they continued to run ekgs and idk how accurate those are but yeah they did cat scan today and I’m hoping I can stay out and continue my life
The weird thing is that I NEVER put these fears on other people. I expect everyone around me to live a long and relatively healthy life but when it comes to myself, I expect to die tomorrow. 🙄
Literally here crying reading all the comments !!! I thought I was the only person feeling this way !!! It's so sad how the enemy creeps up into our minds our minds are a battlefield we must take back our minds !!! Love you all with the love of Jesus I pray you all overcome this and live a healthy peaceful life 😭😭😭🥰
God the amount of people going through the same thing I do. The fact that this is all in our heads. And the fact that she explained everything perfectly. I will pray for us.
I will never be able to thank you enough for this video. Every. Single. Word. You spoke.. I suffer with. I was in the psych ward recently over this. This is the beginning of my healing. I’m in CBT now.
could you please make a video to calm people with health anxiety? It could really help with my sleep bc anxiety calming asmr in general doesn't really fit and it just doesn't work so I keep worrying all night..
Wow!! I am so sorry you are going through this horrible anxiety. I am currently struggling with hypochondria, too. My condition was so bad that I got severely depressed and was thinking of hundreds of ways to end my life.
The comments and the video helped me so much. I’m 20 years old and I have been dealing with hypochondria fot the past 6 months. Sometimes I feel like it goes away and I feel better and I laugh about how stressed I was. But when I start to feel some kind of headaches or heartaches, the overthinking starts again. I realize that it is my health anxiety, but at that moment I stress about it so much that I can’t control it. I have been feeling dizzy for the past 4 days, today I’m going to get it checked out. Obviously I looked on the internet, but that was not a good idea. It made me more scared. We are all healthy and we will live a long and healthy life. It is all in our heads, we are going to be okay☺️
I m 20 years old I was diagnose myself with brain tumor cancer hiv ms neuro disorder can't even sleep more than 4 hours ... 🥺 Now it's rabies help me 😭 or talk me my Instagram account is Pubg player(ajinkya100) 1 month ago I was admitted a big hospital doctor believing I had ms symptoms then start testing mri nerve conduction study blood test ... I was worried for my report .. I try to suiside in hospital ( cut my hand in front of doctors team )
I'm writing my physical symptoms so you can comment down your symptoms too! 1. Heart racing 2. Feeling heart beat in stomach and fingers 3. Headaches of different types 4. Tingling of foot and palms 5. Dizziness & Lightheadedness throughout the day 6. Having tight stomach muscles 7. Peeing a lot 8. Uneasiness in stomach 9. Fatigue throughout the day like having a low BP 10. Muscles ache pain in different areas of skin 11. Googling everyday symptoms ;( 12. Loss of appetite ( not will to eat) These are my everyday symptoms hope it helps you !
At the end of the day, tell yourself gently: ‘I love you, you did the best you could today, and even if you didn’t accomplish all you had planned, I love you anyway.
I love this video and the comments. It’s nice to be validated with someone that from the outside seems like we’re being over dramatic or want attention. Health anxiety has been ruining my life for the past 2 years and Im so ready for relief. This helped so much ❤️
my health anxiety has got so bad recently that i can’t even watch or hear anything medical related without suddenly thinking i’ve got that. for example the other day i saw on tv this man talking about how he had a brain tumour and his only symptom was a pressurised headache. since i heard that i’ve had this temple headache every day. silly thing is is that i know it’s most likely stress from thinking it’s a brain tumour all the time however my stupid health anxiety is there in the back of my head like ‘‘yeah but what if’’ and it sets me off again. i’ve got to the point now watching this video at 3am because i’m too anxious to sleep:(
I had the weirdest and very intense pressure headaches and crazy hair loss so I was losing my mind until I got an MRI and it was fine. Guess what happened. Since then I experienced headaches for like 2 weeks but now its just gone, like its very faint, and NOW I have other problems popping up. This shit is endless. I had tight chest and heart palpilations for moths and I forgot about them bc of headaches now they are baaack.
Just you talking about all the noticeable symptoms a doctor could spot without doing big scans or tests actually helped me take a step back and take a breath for the first time in days. Thank you so so much
Who else had felt ridiculous and worried at the same time and has annoyed and upset loved ones because they know you're actually ok and it's just anxiety?
Me I always thought that anxiety was something of my personality trait and was ashamed of it But now I finally recognise the fact that I'm actually ill Affected by anxiety
Me, my parents tell me it’s my anxiety making me sick and I cry about it Bc I feel sick and everyone thinks I’m crazy because we’ve been to like 15 doctors visits in the past year and every time it’s nothing or something minor... my pain won’t go away I’m tired of it
Please visit a psychologist it will help you...I am going to start my first session from this monday....since last month I m dealing with health anxiety...now I have fear of everything..even pooping also..I know sounds funny bt it's true...everyday my body create new symptoms....I feel so hopeless now.
that is exactly how i feel :( I’m always telling them i feel this or this hurts, or that im scared, hoping that maybe they will take me to the hospital cause i am so afraid. But they’re like “it’s just your anxiety!” And i get even more scared cause i think im about to die and all i do is cry. I feel like i get on their nerves :( sometimes they don’t even reply to my texts anymore. I hate how this has taken over me. I was never like this until 3 months ago. I hate it so much, i wish this didn’t happen to me
Im only 14 and everything between headaches to my toe hurting makes me feel like I’m going to die. Fearing death is worse that death itself. That’s something I can relate to a little too much. This video helped me so much, every word you said truly made me feel so much better then I have in a long time.
I'm the same. It's also hard to talk to your parents about it. After year and a half, I did, and it helped so much to share my burden. Are you able to talk someone about it? It can be a real relief.
Im 15 and i feel my heart being faster than usual and always feel like dizy and have shortness of breath and im always searching my symptoms and i went to the doctor they said my heart and lungs are good but i keep worring about it sometimes i think i might even die i hope i get over this and i also hope u get over this
I have the same fear buddy. I am 17 and scrolling through the comments also helps me that not only I have this prblm. And one think I have noticed is that most people who are having such things ar teens
About 4-5 months ago I started getting panic attacks accompanied by physical symptoms on a daily basis like body aches, tension, feeling lightheaded, feeling dizzy, nauseous, feeling hot, dry mouth, and excessive trips to the bathroom to urinate. I felt like I was dying everyday.. every symptom (which could be explained by anxiety) I assumed was some serious illness like cancer or that I would have a heart attack. It’s gotten slightly better, I have my good days and my bad days, but it so stressful and scary. This video helps knowing I’m not alone and recovery IS possible. It’s so unfortunate so many of us are experiencing this but baby steps will get us closer to healing each day.
I'm 17 and have diagnosed myself with a brain tumor, breast cancer, a stroke, colon cancer, meningitis, heart diseases, etc. This video helps so much. Thank you. Edit: I'm 18 now and this has gotten SLIGHTLY better, but I still struggle with thinking each pain could be some underlying disease & also with some facial numbness. I've started therapy for my anxiety - it helps, actually.
I hate how I feel like I’m going to have a heart attack, diabetes, anemia, some type of cancer, lung problems, stroke, appendicitis, seizure, tonsillitis, sinus infection, bacteria infection, go deaf or blind, and faint. All because I feel like I can’t breathe, I start shaking because I get cold, I suddenly get hot, feel like I’m chocking, cant breathe through my nose at times, muscle pain (shoulders, neck arms, legs,etc), feel like my arm and leg went numb, chest burn, stomach ache, rib pain, chest pain on each side, tingly body feeling, out of my body feeling, hard for me to burp, forget things, eyes get dry because I cry, ear pressure, and more. It all started after a couple months of being in quarantine. It’s really ruining my life. I literally went to the hospital twice but I’m fine, but I don’t feel fine.
This is me the past year its so terrible but at least we aren’t alone. I’ve gone to the doctor twice recently also bc of those symptoms but I’m healthy.
I've never had a video make me cry as fast as this one did, this explains everything about my anxiety and even addresses the concerns I actually have. Thank you for making this
I’m 19 and through the months of August-December I’ve diagnosed myself with a brain tumor, 7 heart attacks, collapsed lungs, and every form of nerve damage. I’m perfectly fine but there is always a voice in the back of my head telling me I’m not. It’s extremely difficult to live with. Luckily, my manager at work is the easiest person to talk to and I’ve been able to actually open up to her about it and she’s talked me through it a lot and is always there and listening. Honestly if it wasn’t for her I’d probably be mentally insane right now with how bad my anxiety was getting.
Thank you Dr. Marks for your wisdom on this issue. I will surely make a list of my concerns and share them with my Cardiologist at my next visit. I was feeling terrible for a long time after being diagnosed with CHF, I blamed my self for not paying attention to what I was eating and how I was living, also a life full of stress. I was given a lot of medications and told that I'll probably be taking these for the rest of my life. I've learned over the years that some heart medications can do more harm to other parts of your body when taken long term, so when ever a new sensation in my body comes up , especially painful ones, I will worry. Did the Doctor give me the right medications? Why doesn't he prescribe more more natural remedies like some the doctors on you tube. You can see where I'm going with all this and what I've done to my self. You've given my some hope, especially knowing that I'm not the only one with this problem. Thanks again Lalo
Dr. Tracey Marks what would be the main cause of continuous body pain pinch of nerves both at my legs and back and yet at times I feel strong and energized to face the day.,
This is soo weird, every single word coming out of her mouth is describing WHAT I DO !!! this is my first time hearing about the disorder even after having it for the last 3-4 years i just didnt know there was a name for the disorder but i literally have done everything she said... shes good
I leave my doctor each time with great news I am fine fine fine And im over 50 now Life gos on and take care your health get sugar and booze out your diet your health will stay good
im in the middle, i want to go to the doctor so bad to tell me my problems and illness i may be in risk for but at the same time im scared they'll actually diagnose me with something and ill go home worrying about every single detail i feel 😭
I couldn’t thank you enough, Doc Tracey. I am 20-year-old student from Philippines and I’m currently suffering from Health Anxiety/Hypochondriasis. I’ve been anxious about the condition of my heart since I have difficulty in breathing and just like what you’ve said, I’m sometimes afraid to sleep at night for I fear that I might die by doing so. I’ve done many medical tests (lab and ECG, next is 2D-Echo) but by far, all of the results were normal, and I thank God for that. Being hypochondriac is really tiring and it steals my time to enjoy life more. I badly wanna end the cycle and restructure my conditioning. Thank you so much for this, I will take note all the tips and the conditioning process. To my fellow-hypochondriac streamers out there, I see you, one day this feeling will soon be replaced by calmness and healing. Hang in there, we will survive and we shall live a longer life!
Lmao I laughed at this video so hard because this is me. Omg I’m okay and I’m meditating I’ve spent soo much money and got tested and I’m fine. I just wanna thank god I’m not alone.
Yes it’s Egypt it’s time to save some money now. And you can see this pattern of behavior plays out over and over in people and you are so not alone with it.
Literally the thought of getting cancer has ruined my life. My mother is sick of me bc she literally thinks I’m crazy at this point 😫. I’m so tired of thissss fuck I want my normal life back
This legit is the worst sort of anxiety that isn't talked about enough !!!!!!! Nothing can make you feel better nothing untill you know for sure if you are okay!
I'm so glad my husband found your videos. Living with a person who has this condition is emotionally exhausting. COVID brought out the absolute worst and while he's gotten better, I doubt he'll ever be the same. The good news is he's getting professional help, but your videos have helped confirm for him what doctor has already told him. Now he can recognize, and sometimes even laugh, at his behavior.
Yes Covid literally messed me up and at that time my beautiful mother under went Quadruple bypass and couldn't go for rehabilitation to do everything being shut down. Nine months later, she became symptomatic, ended up in the hospital with pancreatic cancer Major surgery. started chemo. March later on, was cleand for a year then December it came back with a vengeance. Mom is no longer here so . Since her death, i've had so many health issues. Wishing us and ur husband good health and peace
@@heatherghimire7744 I still have sinus problems and it’s been going on for a year now. Depending on the weather some days are better than others. Googling your symptoms is one of the worst things you can do, I still stop myself from doing it even now. Seek professional medical advice from a real doctor, it will help ease of mind instead of thinking what’s wrong. You’ve been through this before and you made it this far in life, you can fight through this.
@@JexeonTV I’ve had what feels like sinus problems based on where the pain and discomfort is located but I have no congestion. I was scared it was something bad like cancer at first but after multiple phone calls with different doctors and an eye exam and a in person checkup with a a great doctor at a hospital they all said I was healthy and it was anxiety. I still find myself feeling the pain though and it cause me to google stuff and even though I have been cleared my mind still wanders sometimes.
@@Dilpik I hear you. I’m the same. It’s surprising to see how many people in the world feel and are going through the exact experiences. Anxiety is difficult to shake and even some small aspects of it will stay even when we overcome it but, keep your mind busy and know when you are feeling pain, you’ve already been through it and can come out ok again. If you can, go back to making TH-cam content again. Just do it for yourself and not all that subscribers and followers stuff. It will help keep your mind busy. I subscribed to you so, I’m looking forward to what you create when you’re ready 👍🏽
@@JexeonTV thank you so much for subscribing I subbed to you as well. I have been wanting to get back into TH-cam so I will do that soon. I’m going to do therapy like this video recommended and I have a feeling it will help my mindset and eventually my symptoms.
the reddit thing with the uncle OMG. ive literally searched "racing heart, shoulder pain reddit" and diagnosed myself with a heart attack at age 23. this video is INSANELY helpful.
Anyone else watching this and at points you kind of laugh or smile with relief that you are not alone and you are not crazy? When she mentioned the Reddit user saying his uncle had that symptom and died in his sleep, so it must be true, I couldn’t help but laugh to myself thinking of all the times total strangers who have no idea about me or my body have confirmed my suspicions that something is seriously wrong with me. Still in the throes of health anxiety, particularly dizziness and lightheadedness, but I’ve been given hope with this video. Thank you Dr. Tracey Marks!
So Jenna and everyone else replying, your health anxiety manifests itself with constant dizziness and/or lightheadedness? I've had difficulty accepting this for months now but I'm finally coming around to it. Seeing others with similar experiences certainly helps.
As a fellow sufferer, all I can say is that somehow you have to find the mental fortitude to not Google anything. I don't let myself google a single symptom. And you need to learn things that tell you that you're having a panic attack, like your neck tingling or maybe your hand will twitch or something. I'm still trying to free myself from this illness but these things have helped me. Googling symptoms will only make you feel worse, and the doctor doesn't want you to google things because then they have to explain the illness you think you have and why you don't have it. There's a reason why they're the doctor and not you! You can't meaningfully interpret the information you will find. I would also recommend yoga because it's about feeling your body and calming down. That way you can learn to feel physical sensations without panicking.
I was researching common types of cancers before remembering that hypochondria is a thing, and this video hit way too close to home. I have been diagnosed with ADHD about 2 years ago and things started to make sense. My dad passed away that year. A year or so later for some reason I started really paying attention to my body and I would get a sore chest sensation or my heart would race so I would stress about that and my heart would race even more. I started researching for lung diseases and found pneumonia that says you get a burning sensation in your chest and I swear that very instant my chest started to heat up and I rushed to my closest family to take me to the hospital. Turns out I had bronchitis in my oesophagus. They did an EKG and said everything looks fine but I started getting the idea that my heart is faulty, that it will suddenly stop beating in my sleep. I would obsessively check my heart rate all the time and get anxious if I don't physically feel my heart in my chest. It's been months later and I still feel like there's something wrong with my chest or heart. I don't get it, I've never had this type of anxiety before. But it's exhausting

I have had ct scans mris - I’ve been over this for over three years and it’s started to creep in again - this ride is terrifying I wouldn’t wish it open anyone . Big love everyone xoxo
It is observed due to anxiety and intrusive thoughts triggering, then and then physical condition changed such as B.P increases, head full of dullness, trembling etc which are unbearable. What should I do at this juncture to avoid these unwanted situation. Your suggestions are solicited
L
who else have the symptoms only when they're alone? And not even think about them when you're having fun
Same,specially when its quiet
YES literally me
Yup same here. I was working on my car for a few hrs and felt fine. Once i came inside the house it all started again
Yea, my parents work almost every day and I'll find myself wandering around the kitchen insanely dizzy, then I get a text and boom, disorientation be gone.
To help when your on your own put your head phones on listen to meditation and positive self help on you tube or just listening to some music that makes you You happy or failing all of that ring someone this won’t last forever trust me
I started tearing up when you said how exhausting it is to live this way. I'm so tired of feeling like this.
Same...
Me too. The longer we endure our individual struggles, the more resilient we become 🖤🖤🖤
Me too ,its so exhausting 😪
Same here . I feel better now knowing I’m not the only one but it’s gotten to the point where everyday it’s me worrying about some new pain . Heart attacks , brain cancer , lung problems the list goes on . It’s so exhausting and I just wanna feel normal again
Same it's really frustrating 🥺
Does anyone else feel like if they ignore a fake symptom it will actually turn out to be something and then by the time you get it checked it'll be to late
omg yessssss, i dont k ow what to do. if im going to tell or am i just being paranoid but also paranoid because it maybe true but I its already too late
Yes. I hate that I can’t seem to trust my instincts sometimes. I have been telling myself that unless I’m actively dying, that whatever it is will either get better (problem solved) or worse, at which point I will allow myself to get it checked out. So far, everything has gotten better. And somehow that works in my mind because I have made a decision, so I don’t worry as much because I know I’m not going to act right then.
I just want to get all the scans just to be sure nothing is wrong. Then again I probably wouldn't believe them if they told me nothing was wrong.
Yes all the time 😓
Stephanie Alvarez this is exactly how I feel. Glad I’m not the only one
Honestly a huge thing is seeing cancer all over the internet, on tiktok instagram, everywhere its about getting chemo, or cancer awarness. It's gotten to the point for me where im constantly stressed about having cancer, even with no symptoms. Even just the word cancer is kind of triggering to me.
Same, I just wanna delete tik tok
Then do it! Do not watch. I gave up watching the tv news All negative.
I relate😭
Can't relate more 😭 it's so exhausting
oh my god i relate to this so much
Anybody else feel emotional because you realize this has been dominating your life for so long :(
I have suffered for 20 years and just now am realizing that it’s been hypochondria the entire time
How to cure this... 😢
Yes I was listening to this video in the shower and I cried when she mentioned that anxiety is hard on the body because this is so true. I feel a bit better now.
Yup

I hate living with health anxiety. I overthink too much about my health.
Vega Vein I’m only 19 and my dad told me my family has a history of prostate cancer. That same day I got worried about it looked up symptoms and my body started performing the very same symptoms like struggling to pee or peeing in bursts. I’ve never had symptoms that are frequent enough to call it a problem but my mind likes to think up all the times I’ve gotten up to pee at night and all the times I have had trouble getting it out. This is what happens when you want to be healthy as much as you can. You start making things up, the mind is very powerful and we all need to understand that the doctors spend years studying this stuff. You do not know more than your doctor and the symptoms are not serious at all. Especially when you are young eat healthy and work out.
Me too
@@leroythompson5326 we need to fight against this anxiety. Have a good day
Me tooo😭😭😭😭
Me too!
Anyone feels like you tell your body “No,stop, I know this is anxiety, we felt it in the past, nothing is going to happen” and your body is like. “I know that, but what if, like, what if THIS is the actual, real health problem, and not anxiety anymore”
Yes!! It's the what ifs! I swear my brain likes to play tricks on me. It's one health anxiety after another
Constantly
Yes, there is always that little evil what if in the back of your mind... smh..
Yeeeesssss
Yes… all the time… it is a matter of time before something new comes up and gets me to the low point I was before… it is really exhausting and depressing.
I’m crying. I’m exhausted. My life has been taken over by health anxiety. Everyday I swear I’m having a heart attack or stroke. I’m afraid to die, I’m afraid to live.
The, "I'm afraid to die, I'm afraid to live," thing at the end is without a doubt the most relatable thing I've ever heard in my life.
This is so relatable. I can be fine for a second but start thinking I’m gonna have a stroke and suddenly get vision problems and my arm goes weak.
Ur not alone my we will pull through..let's keep praying
Ok I'm jus coming off chlonazapam and respidrone..I just took vitamin d3 will tht affect me ...omggg
Sending you loads of love ❤️❤️
Googling symptoms is an ADDICTION and never ever ever make things better.
Yeah, don't do it! I've been there googling all the time, frantically, like a maniac. It gives you no answers and induces even more anxiety, it's a vicious cycle that's so hard to break away from. Everyone is different, every disease has multiple symptoms in multiple people, chances are close to zero you'll self-diagnose over the internet. Go see your doctor if in doubt, and remember be honest and don't be shy asking questions.
@@Icheb82 this made me feel much better, thanks :)
Yes!
@@Icheb82 thanks for advice.
Wow I do this constantly like everyday google my symptoms 😩
Does anyone else feel worse at night? I wake up feeling happier and more positive in the morning and as the day goes on my health anxiety just creeps back when there is something happening with my body. And at night I just feel gloomy.
once 10pm hits my brain decides to tell me I have deadly cancer even with no symptoms
It’s exactly the same for me

God bless u brother, I'm a Virgin, I've never been with anyone either man or woman, I'm 26 yrs old and yet I heard on TV that u can get hiv from a barber, since then I've been on health anxiety, it's suffocating me,
@@kevinabuuh4570 I'm a barber and the HIV thing that you mention does happen but is really rare! So we normally do everything to keep that from cutting and sometimes will stop the service if anything like that is even possible like if we see a cut or we gave ourselves cuts. Normally what we would do if we see that is stop and immediately take care of the bleeding so that we don't swap blood or anything else like that. Don't worry at all about that cause most barbers I know take that seriously and will do whatever it takes to keep the both of us safe. Not saying its impossible to happen because obviously it does and thats why they teach us this but most barbers and cosmetologist will take these measures to help and keep both the client and themselves safe! Hope this has helped that fear, its really rare that it happens I promise!
hey how have you been since thaen ?
Thank you so much kind stranger.
Pandemic increased my health anxiety. Staying home all day alone, always thinking about my health
This 100%
I’ve been doing the same thing I sat on the couch for like 3 hours paying attention to my body and what’s going on thinking about symptoms and why’s this feel this way and what not until I finally caught myself watched some anxiety relief video and everything felt better immediately
Same . I try to find comedy to listen to or motivational speeches in worry and anxiety
True true

I'm actually amazed that I'm not alone with this problem
AJ 15 i am the same, it’s so scary
I thought I just was having severe anxiety attacks. I’m surprised it’s a whole thing.
Me too AJ!!! That lessens the anxiety to know I’m not alone in feeling this way. My ex husband was horrible at just “being” there for me. He made my anxiety worse by using an unkind tone and saying “there’s nothing wrong w you. It’s just anxiety. Take a pill.” Very dismissive and I find, for me, dismissiveness makes the anxiety worse!
Im glad im not alone but i wish nobody would go through this.
@@KaldoniaKaldonia my husband says the same thing.. Then he will say something to make it worse and laugh when I freak out or cry.

Your body starts making up symptoms to match a disease process that you are worrying about.
Arya Stark what if am afraid of psychosic will it make sympthoms too
@@brokendougllama4621 When i withdrawed from Bensos i were so scared to become psychotic, because i were hallucinating and not getting any sleep. And when i were overthinking it, it made the hallucinations worse. So yeah, i guess thats kind of a thing. But if youre completely normal, i really dont think you can THINK yourself into a psychosis. But you could worsen it if you already have it. And btw im no doctor so dont take my words for granted, dont take a doctors word for granted either.

@@brokendougllama4621 Ahh i see. Ive had Depersonalization for over 10 years, and im telling you, youre are NOT going insane. Thats a natural reaction from too much stress and anxiety, and not psychosis.

It is so saddening and reassuring at the same, to see that I am not alone. Tired of diagnosing myself with all extreme illnesses but it’s so difficult to stop. Sometimes I am able to convince myself that it is just anxiety, other times it blow up the roof and I feel so difficult to breathe.

Thank you. I’m a 33 year old man & I feel like I’m insane. I’m exhausted & scared all of the time & you hit the nail on the head for how I feel & how irrational I Get. When I’m going through it & I’m alone at home I’ll take myself to a public place incase I collapse that way people can help. Everything scares me. Hopefully myself & everybody who goes through this can get past it.
I’m 38 and have been dealing with this for so many years. I’ve yet to find a therapist who seems to help me. My latest scare is that I have breast cancer. I’m so tired of being trapped in my own thoughts. I try and stay positive and think rationally, but I always go back to ruminating thoughts. You are not alone I assure you 💜
I have done the same. But now I've been doing a lot of praying and engaging in mindful thinking. These have helped me greatly.

34 and scared to live alone for this reason. Was really hoping I would grow out of it. Sadly I think it gets worse with age 😭.

In the comments to re-assure young people. My health anxiety started in my late teens, I am 40 now and have survived all the fatal illnesses I thought I had over the past 20+ years.

I myself have a pretty terrible immune system because I get sick with minor illnesses constantly, like twice a month. And it has really made my anxiety worse. I caught Covid one 2021 and i was bedridden even with my young age. My father also got pneumonia and he nearly passed away, so that also affected me. Ever since, I’ve been convinced that every quivering breathe and chest pain is my lungs failing me.
It’s so tiring staying up at night worrying that I’ll just stop breathing if I sleep.
It’s a big relief to watch this and read comments and know I am not alone.
I know right...
I can only begin to image the amount of people out there who are suffering from this without knowing that it's even a thing. I struggled with Health Anxiety Disorder for well over a decade, completely unaware of what it was until I stumbled upon this video by mere coincidence...
I come back to this video every time my health anxiety gets real bad… like currently. I cannot thank you enough for this video, I relate to every statement you make and it assures me. I’ve had multiple scans and seen various heart specialists that tell me I’m fine but I always seem to think something is wrong. My anxiety is bad and it destroys me daily. Thanks for this video
No one could've explained anxiety better than this...
Thanks a lot Roman!
Wow...thanks a lot
this is the most accurate anxiety explanation on youtube
I literally could not stop crying watching this. its so consuming, life ruining, I want nothing more just this thoughts to go away
Me too, right now my throat feels weird and I feel like I might have throat cancer or something. Or sometimes when I see flashing lights or something, I feel like I’m gonna have a seizure, when I’ve never been diagnosed with epilepsy or anything like that. It’s so draining, and it only happens at night. I hate it so much, it’s so bad...
same. I hate living like this. being at home triggers health anxiety af. when all this pandemic is over we can socialize and hope life will be better
Same here Ik Jesus got us 🙏🏾🙏🏾 Ik we will overcome this 😭😩😩

A tip for everyone including myself. STOP GOOGLING SYMPTOMS. There are many many many similar symptoms to either an illness or just nothing in general. Google is a horrible place to look for symptoms. Ur brain loves to come up with symptoms that u don’t even have. Trust me I had fatigue for 5 months and I diagnosed myself with so much diseases and it turns out it was just my anxiety and my sleeping schedule. Or a mole that changed on me was just natural and nothing bad.
Thank you, Mr.AnderX
Yeah I’ve been worrying about something that happened 8 years ago lol
I can’t stop googling my symptoms, because I tried to searching my symptoms up to get closure that it was nothing, but it only built up my nervousness. I got a palatal tremor a couple months ago because I had a severe panic attack. I legit think I damaged my brain

Wow same. I’m always saying I wish I could go back to how I was months ago.
Same bro, I keep thinking about the times when I didn’t have this shit
This...
I had too much caffeine one day, had a panic attack because of it that I thought was a heart attack, and boom. Now every time my body does anything I'm convinced that I'm either having a heart attack, have a blood clot, or am suffocating. Despite the fact that I'm a 22y who isn't overweight, exercises daily, eats healthy, barely drinks and doesn't smoke. On top of that, multiple doctor have told me I'm fine.
I can't afford CBT because I'm unemployed, but covid has made employment in my field a pipe dream. I just wish I could go back to 13 months ago before I had that first panic attack.
For 22 years of my life I was "normal". Than everything changed when I had that first attack. Its been so long i kind of forgot how I used to feel back than. All I remember is that life was good with only little everyday worries. Now everyday I suffer with pain and all the stress that comes with it. I've lost count of how many different symptoms I had. This is a never ending cycle of suffering!
It's so damaging. I don't want to live other 50-60 years with my mind stuck like this
I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way.
Hang in there now I'm 51...its consuming but I realize that I am creating this which is just as bad...for me therapy and support meetings help me but it always there. I'm used to it and I sometimes talk to it and let it visit but move it fwd. I also am used to journaling my feelings...takes some digging...the trauma pain grief anxiety is in there...gets murky but I have to keep pointing at that not my physical health

I feel the same way honestly. I can't just have a nice normal day without thinking I have cancer or over-analysing random body sensations. I have an amazing girlfriend and friends but I feel so guilty because 80% of the time, my mind is on my 'health problems'. I'd be such a happy and contented person if I could just get rid of my health anxiety but I go through phases where it ruins my life. Hopefully we can all get better, all the love x
The fun one is when you look up a Symptom and get ‘It’s usually harmless but occasionally it can be a sign of -insert serious illness here-‘ and my brain always goes ‘Whelp must be the serious thing’.
Then I start feeling the other symptoms
Its sooo frustrating
Yes yes yes yes
Exactly and you can’t stop thinking about it 😭
Then you try to match symptoms
2 tips
1. Get Rid of your internet connection
2. Pray and Have faith, put god first on your center of your life and everything will be Ok
I swear, google will be the death of me. I spend hours researching symptoms of different cancers and fatal illnesses.
Me too, it’s horrible. Coronavirus got me into this health anxiety pickle.
I try not to search symptoms, just keep you're self busy spend time with you're family youre not alone 😊
I spend days. :( Everyfucken time I compare myself to the pictures presented on google. I went to 2 dermatologist already but not yet satisfied.
ladyviva I never had any issues with health anxiety before lockdown started. I don’t think I’ve gone two days since March where I haven’t body checked or looked up “symptoms”. You’re not alone!
Omg this comment hit home.
I’ve had such bad panic attacks that part of my face goes numb and I immediately think I’m having a stroke. Scariest feelings ever it gets exhausting living with health anxiety.
I get this at least once a week!! Lord help us !!
@@geoguyrocks354 i too feel the same. Im getting scared day by day
I RELATE TO THIS SO MUCH!!! its ruining my life and im so damn young
Same your gonna get through it 🤎
Exhausting is right. Sooo right.
i cried reading the comments knowing i’m not alone :’)
Me too dude :(
❤️❤️ youre not alone
me too this anxiety is so frustrating
Me too :(
😭😭..I thought I was alone too. Mine is getting worse day by day
Ive cancelled vacations, plans with friends / bf because of this… Im so over feeling like this everyday, its no way to live…praying for everyone suffering from this 🙏🏻 hope we get through this 💜
It’s EXTREMELY HARD TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!
Everyday, Every minute, and every hour is a struggle!!!!
I hope and pray God delivers us from this!!!!
Long walks , cold shower , meditation , yoga and deep breathing can help you .. also get a blood test and blood pressure done if doctor says ur healthy believe it
U have social anxiety disorder too don't worry , practice cpt, regular breathing exercises, mindfullness techniques, sleep at least 8 hours, use temporary medications that improve serotonin in your brain 🫰
Same. I don’t feel like doing anything fun with this. Is is pure hell. 😭
When I hear someone passing away because of ailment I automatically imagine myself in the same situation😢
That is precisely what I feel most of the time
I start to google their cause of death and search for the symptoms within myself. I’ve been like this for several years but it’s been really bad the last few months. I get tension headaches everyday and I’m always thinking the worst. This is a horrible way to live.
Omg same😅
Same, its terrible.
So true!!! Feels that I might be next. Then Panic sets in
Love the video. It’s just so so tiring day after day it’s a never ending cycle. Anxiety out of nowhere googling symptoms then feeling symptoms and fearing the worst
Exactly same... feeling like Health anxiety never ending cycle
Thanks sweetness 92. I hope the exercises are helpful. It does take work though.
Do you often think "but i actually have real symptoms?"
Alexander Bassett I do all the time! It’s hard to know if it’s intuition or my anxiety masquerading as intuition.
Alexander Bassett I definitely do left chest and arm pains in particular
Love how I have diagnosed myself with cancer, a bowel blockage, heart attack, diabetes and arteriosclerosis in one week...
Yessssss🙏🏾😩💔
Omg so glad I’m not the only one
I diagnosed myself with Alzheimers at age 14.
SAMEEEE
Please visit a psychologist it will help you...I am going to start my first session from this monday....since last month I m dealing with health anxiety...now I have fear of everything..even pooping also..I know sounds funny bt it's true...everyday my body create new symptoms....this corona thing sucks
It’s so weird I was having really bad anxiety thinking acid reflux was a heart attack the other day. But when I met my dad at a restaurant for dinner, I felt absolutely fine the whole time, until I got home then started feeling it again that night. The distraction takes it away but I can’t seem to get that distracted on my own at home, these videos help but other than that I’m right back at it. Exhausting 😔
Yes I understand!! Awful.
That's why daily habits and distractions are imperative for handling anxiety. Being productive and living your life as normal will give you reassurance that the condition and symptoms still aren't incapacitating you from tackling goals. Start with one step at a time, until your daily schedule is a bit too full for you to worry about your health 24/7. Anxiety symptoms will always be there, but just knowing that you still have power over them is extremely empowering when it comes to dealing with them.
Breathing exercises also help a lot
So for 2-3 weeks now, I have chest tightness in the left, some times associated with shortness of breath, and feeling like have to focus more on vision, sore eyes, I have no other pain or any and my tightness in chest resolves by doing exercises for relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, but when I eat spicy food the tightness in chest gets worst the next day, any suggestions to cure, also this all started the day I took too much stress and googled my symptoms and get very much depressed, till now it's happening I am only 19
I have the same problem for four or five years and it still is not going away. And I'm feeling very sick.😢😢
This video makes me 40% calm. I will always pray to god for a good health.
🙏🏼🤞🏼
This hypochondria is killing me... every day I feel like I will die soon
I feel the same from years😥
1 year ago I got a scratch from cat, now I am thinking I have rabies even though that cat is just fine till now.
Sem here I wonder how can I die without kids or how will my family feel if I die
Me too.
Same
Hypochondria is more struggle when people always preach "Listen to you gut feeling".
Every symptom we experience feels like a gut-feeling and that starts making it worse.
True bhai
Yesss
The main reason behind all anxiety is the rules and teachings we get from childhood
Life is not that difficult but our society has made it so complicated
Even death is natural but people have identified death as sinister and dark
@@grumpytank2927 No. Humans are genetically programmed to fear death and anything that makes us question the survival of us.
@@grumpytank2927 True. If we would have thought mental illness from childhood. We would have been aware of it.
Hit the nail right on the head. I've had anxiety over my blood pressure. Even though it has been fairly in control sometimes my anxiety kicks in and I'm afraid to check it yet afraid to not know. Sometimes these attacks are so bad I've went to the ER. Our minds are very strong. I hope everyone that suffers from this finds relief because it is no joke and can drive a person nuts.
Me too
I used to be heavily addicted to googling symptoms in june 2021 and after that month ended I completely stopped googling them and I felt amazing up until this month where I kind of began googling but not as much, trust me if you don’t google for about 5 days you will feel way better
Omg.. this is me! 100%
hey what tips that you would suggest ?
Omgosh, same!
I don't have high BP but I keep a check on it b/c I have white coat syndrome just the cuff going on in the Dr.'s is enough to spike it
Almost everyday I keep on worry about death, cancer, hiv, hepatitis, corona virus, the flu and the list goes on SMH but one thing I have to do is pray and believe in Jesus mighty name amen and amen.
@scarletskull Roblox You are not alone my friend We just have to be strong 👊👊💪💪
@scarletskull Roblox OK that's good to hear
It sucks. I’d be fine for weeks but suddenly I get a mild pain and think of the worst. Last week I got a mild headache and have been thinking about it since. I just can’t get it out of my head thinking about glaucoma, braincancer and what not. The sad part is this thinking actually feeds headache and starts a perpetual cycle.
@@mehul6220 You are not alone my friend just keep strong but if the headache is severe and chronic seek medical attention immediately my friend.
Amen
I’ve watched this video everytime I’ve had an anexity attack and it’s like it cures it- IVE DONE EVERYTHING IN THIS VIDEO
Awesome Why Guys!!! I love hearing that. Keep watching and keep feeling better.😊
Same here

The Whys Guys Podcast Me too!!! It's awful! Like whyy do we have to deal with this 😭🤔🤞😇
Mee too lol
This is ruining my life. I stay up all night searching and my mom just tells me to stay offline but it's so hard
MVIIOS same here... i started googling symptoms and all my family makes sure im not googling
@@teddylovee264 😔 I thought I had a brain aneurysm and the other day and went to the emergency room. They told me it was tension headaches and I got prescribed to medication.. but getting there was so horrible because everyone thought I was making it up to get attention
MVIIOS every body is diferent... we all have different symptoms and some of us are more sensitive to others. I am very sensitive when it comes to symptoms i feel EVERYTHING , and i also freak out because i havent been diagnosed yet. I thought i had every illness out there... ive been getting alot of testing this month since ive been going to the ER alot ... physicians dont seem to do much except to refer you to specialists which that can sometimes take long
@@teddylovee264 yes. I keep trying to diagnose myself through the internet. And I keep going back to the hospital all the time. I thought I had cancer, brain tumors, HIV, skin cancer and so much more. Idek how I got like this.. I used to be okay.
MVIIOS what is something scary youve felt? Ive had scary symptoms.... i wanna cry rn im getting anxiety to just remember and im still getting all that
You are so right when you mentioned how EXHAUSTING it is. I’ve been dealing with it for two years now. It all started with just a strange feeling one night in my chest… since then ive just experienced one strange symptoms to another endlessly, I’ve diagnosed myself with heart failure, kidney disease, fatty liver disease, BRAIN CANCER, FATAL FAMILIAL INSOMNIA, EARLY ONSET DEMENTIA AT 33, lymphoma, bone loss, glaucoma, and NOW it is plaque build up in my brain and undiagnosed stroke all these things that doctors just somehow missed and I have convinced myself I have hydrocephalus from being a preemie and having a large head 😂 that are all surely finally coming to get me… brain shrinkage etc loss of brain and just water in there now. I’ve even convinced myself that I can HEAR the fluid in my head… It’s all driving me crazy. I’m terrified of losing my mind. It all started just one time with a heart flutter feeling / first ever panic attack and now two years have flown by and I don’t even remember any of the months, just the constant anxiety. I think I’ve exhausted my brain, just constant brain fog and negative cognitive symptoms during the day. Only feel well and normal at night. I’m so tired. I tell myself over and over that it’s just anxiety, I’ve seen so many doctors from different hospitals they have ALL said it’s just anxiety that there are no problems but still I CONTINUE finding problems. It really is horrible. I feel for anyone suffering from this. The doctors all have said it’s anxiety and prescribe antidepressants, but when I take the meds I get even more crazy symptoms I convince myself are side effects, eventually I stop taking them because of the added worry. I know it’s needless, I tell myself it’s just stress and anxiety, to relax… then I have thoughts that anxiety and depression can actually cause disease and death!! and it just absolutely devastates me.
My heart goes out to everyone dealing with this. My mind is absolutely my worst enemy. It’s unbelievably depressing.
Does anyone get a new “problem” and then days or weeks after, see signs (videos, newspaper clippings, commercials, etc.) about the perceived problem and get even more convinced you have it because these are signs solidifying it or are warning you? Or even get vivid/realistic dreams that you have an illness and then you’re convinced when you wake up that your dream was trying to warn you?...OCD/hypochondriac diagnosis here.
Me! It drives me crazy!
This happens constantly to me ☹️ it feels even more real when you see actual ads or commercials that relate to what you think you have
The dreams.... omg then i wake up trembling or confused
Yup, then develop more symptoms that you never had almost instantly. It gets better though. Been years of dealing with it, CBT therapy is helpful, and self Talk.
Omg me. Sometimes i feel like my dreams is a sign that im going to die, so i kept resesrching on google what my dream means
She literally just explained what I got through every single day
☝ got you covered 🍄
Same 😢
she explained it better then I, a person who goes through this daily, could ever do
@@MyInnerHealingJourney same here. Matched 100% whatever she says. 90% of time I think about my unknown health issue, which is killing me. I called 911 once and went to emergency 3 times. No matter what doctors say I don't get satisfied. Maybe I will but just short period of time.
Most the people watching this are having an anxiety attack or panic attack right now..
Nichols Martinez exactly. 😔
Nichols Martinez omg ! How’d you know?

Larry Opdycke I’m alive eating lays potato chips hahaha thanks for checking in
I have severe anxiety, I’m 22, every time I feel like something’s wrong I go down a rabbit hole of google searches. So far I have convinced myself I have a Brain tumor, MS, ALS, and many others. It’s so nice to see I’m not the only one who deals with this, hope everyone who suffers with this can figure things out, I’m still working on it. Dr. Tracer thank you so much for this video, you have brought some relative to peace to my mind.
Same, dude i thought that i had a brain tumor, untill i got an mri done. The reports came back clear, so now i have convinced myself i have ms even though my mri came back good.
@@sworthyboy same here. I had MRI of the brain and came back clear so I thought maybe I have lesions in the spinal cord. But I know that this causes different symptoms, it’s usually in progressive MS and older people. Brain MRI should have reassured me but here I am. It’s ridiculous.
@@sworthyboyI got really sick the second time I got Covid and later got post Covid. I started feeling tingling and numbness in my right leg and arm. I did think much of it but decided to go see a doctor. The doctor who wasn’t the smoothest so to speak told me cold turkey it could be symptoms of MS. My whole world came crashing down. I had an MRI on both brain and spine with that contrast liquid. I had to wait 3 months for my results due to the high pressure on the healthcare system during the pandemic. I was a complete mess during those months with constant stress and anxiety. I was constantly monitoring my body. Every tingle, numbness, spasms or twitching was confirmation to me that I had MS. The results came and I was fine. They could not see a single thing wrong with me. They even told me that my brain looked better than it should due to my age (I was 35 at the time). They usually see some age related changes on the gray matter but I had very little. This was almost two years ago and even though I have papers telling me I’m completely fine I still monitor my body constantly actively trying to find something wrong. Those three anxiety filled months waiting for what I thought was basically a death sentence reprogrammed my brain and I can’t correct it.
@@sworthyboy Same here. I wasted so many days going to hospital and Dr. appointments suffering (in advance) from all these things I thought were going to happen to me. Worst thing they could find at the time was a Vitamin D deficiency, which contributed to the Health Anxiety Disorder. I even thought I suffered from a yet-to-be-discovered condition until I stumbled upon this video by mere coincidence...
I often fear that if I become happy with life, that I will get a devastating diagnosis or die in a car accident. My cousin died in a car accident, so the fear is real.
Oh wow I can totally relate to this!
Hahah same
Omg sameeeee wow we are all in this together I know the feeling 🙏🏾💜
Same 😭😭😭
I feel this too. I'm about to make a big move and be with someone I love and I'm afraid something will happen before crossing that threshold.
She has literately explained my past 2 months
🙂 I hope this video help to get some time back. thanks for watching.
I have major health anxiety. I went to er today and had a ct scan done on my heart area I have been to er several times over the last 2 months. I feel cured but time will tell.
Okay good. I hope you are able to stay out of the ER for a while.🙂
Me too. I think I just needed to hear this video and have some closure they continued to run ekgs and idk how accurate those are but yeah they did cat scan today and I’m hoping I can stay out and continue my life
Mam are you a cbt therapist if so where at ? I need help 😔
The weird thing is that I NEVER put these fears on other people. I expect everyone around me to live a long and relatively healthy life but when it comes to myself, I expect to die tomorrow. 🙄
Omg. So me

I will never be able to thank you enough for this video. Every. Single. Word. You spoke.. I suffer with. I was in the psych ward recently over this. This is the beginning of my healing. I’m in CBT now.
I am in recovery right now and am almost back to normal after 7-8 months. I hope your CBT goes well, you can get through this!
could you please make a video to calm people with health anxiety? It could really help with my sleep bc anxiety calming asmr in general doesn't really fit and it just doesn't work so I keep worrying all night..
Wow!! I am so sorry you are going through this horrible anxiety. I am currently struggling with hypochondria, too. My condition was so bad that I got severely depressed and was thinking of hundreds of ways to end my life.
I feel like this all the time
Dealing with this for years
The comments and the video helped me so much. I’m 20 years old and I have been dealing with hypochondria fot the past 6 months. Sometimes I feel like it goes away and I feel better and I laugh about how stressed I was. But when I start to feel some kind of headaches or heartaches, the overthinking starts again. I realize that it is my health anxiety, but at that moment I stress about it so much that I can’t control it. I have been feeling dizzy for the past 4 days, today I’m going to get it checked out.
Obviously I looked on the internet, but that was not a good idea. It made me more scared. We are all healthy and we will live a long and healthy life.
It is all in our heads, we are going to be okay☺️
I liked her part about the heart
she described me with every sentence she said. IT'S SO FRUSTRATING litterally my chest burns everyday at night but during the day it's fine.

Hey ! Did you get some relief ?
@@memesaurr trying to get through it hbu?
my health anxiety has got so bad recently that i can’t even watch or hear anything medical related without suddenly thinking i’ve got that. for example the other day i saw on tv this man talking about how he had a brain tumour and his only symptom was a pressurised headache. since i heard that i’ve had this temple headache every day. silly thing is is that i know it’s most likely stress from thinking it’s a brain tumour all the time however my stupid health anxiety is there in the back of my head like ‘‘yeah but what if’’ and it sets me off again. i’ve got to the point now watching this video at 3am because i’m too anxious to sleep:(
I know how you feel
i have always experienced this too that’s why i stay away from any medical related programs because it will trigger my health anxiety to the max
Yes same
same!! how you feeling?
I had the weirdest and very intense pressure headaches and crazy hair loss so I was losing my mind until I got an MRI and it was fine. Guess what happened. Since then I experienced headaches for like 2 weeks but now its just gone, like its very faint, and NOW I have other problems popping up. This shit is endless. I had tight chest and heart palpilations for moths and I forgot about them bc of headaches now they are baaack.
Just you talking about all the noticeable symptoms a doctor could spot without doing big scans or tests actually helped me take a step back and take a breath for the first time in days. Thank you so so much
I’m having insomnia because of health anxiety, stress, and loneliness.

But now I finally recognise the fact that I'm actually ill
Affected by anxiety
Sometimes im embarrassed
Me, my parents tell me it’s my anxiety making me sick and I cry about it Bc I feel sick and everyone thinks I’m crazy because we’ve been to like 15 doctors visits in the past year and every time it’s nothing or something minor... my pain won’t go away I’m tired of it

that is exactly how i feel :( I’m always telling them i feel this or this hurts, or that im scared, hoping that maybe they will take me to the hospital cause i am so afraid. But they’re like “it’s just your anxiety!” And i get even more scared cause i think im about to die and all i do is cry. I feel like i get on their nerves :( sometimes they don’t even reply to my texts anymore. I hate how this has taken over me. I was never like this until 3 months ago. I hate it so much, i wish this didn’t happen to me
Im only 14 and everything between headaches to my toe hurting makes me feel like I’m going to die. Fearing death is worse that death itself. That’s something I can relate to a little too much. This video helped me so much, every word you said truly made me feel so much better then I have in a long time.
I'm the same. It's also hard to talk to your parents about it. After year and a half, I did, and it helped so much to share my burden. Are you able to talk someone about it? It can be a real relief.
Im 15 and i feel my heart being faster than usual and always feel like dizy and have shortness of breath and im always searching my symptoms and i went to the doctor they said my heart and lungs are good but i keep worring about it sometimes i think i might even die i hope i get over this and i also hope u get over this
I have the same fear buddy. I am 17 and scrolling through the comments also helps me that not only I have this prblm. And one think I have noticed is that most people who are having such things ar teens
@@kaushanisengupta5447 im too 17 felt the same 🥺👉👈 :(
You will be okay. I know you don’t believe this but you will be.
About 4-5 months ago I started getting panic attacks accompanied by physical symptoms on a daily basis like body aches, tension, feeling lightheaded, feeling dizzy, nauseous, feeling hot, dry mouth, and excessive trips to the bathroom to urinate. I felt like I was dying everyday.. every symptom (which could be explained by anxiety) I assumed was some serious illness like cancer or that I would have a heart attack. It’s gotten slightly better, I have my good days and my bad days, but it so stressful and scary. This video helps knowing I’m not alone and recovery IS possible. It’s so unfortunate so many of us are experiencing this but baby steps will get us closer to healing each day.
I'm 17 and have diagnosed myself with a brain tumor, breast cancer, a stroke, colon cancer, meningitis, heart diseases, etc. This video helps so much. Thank you.
Edit: I'm 18 now and this has gotten SLIGHTLY better, but I still struggle with thinking each pain could be some underlying disease & also with some facial numbness. I've started therapy for my anxiety - it helps, actually.
I'm fifteen I can relate 😭
Omg I’m not the only teen who does this
Same I'm 17 going through this right now thinking I have heart problems even though there's nothing wrong
I am 18 and even I have done all of this

I hate how I feel like I’m going to have a heart attack, diabetes, anemia, some type of cancer, lung problems, stroke, appendicitis, seizure, tonsillitis, sinus infection, bacteria infection, go deaf or blind, and faint. All because I feel like I can’t breathe, I start shaking because I get cold, I suddenly get hot, feel like I’m chocking, cant breathe through my nose at times, muscle pain (shoulders, neck arms, legs,etc), feel like my arm and leg went numb, chest burn, stomach ache, rib pain, chest pain on each side, tingly body feeling, out of my body feeling, hard for me to burp, forget things, eyes get dry because I cry, ear pressure, and more. It all started after a couple months of being in quarantine. It’s really ruining my life. I literally went to the hospital twice but I’m fine, but I don’t feel fine.
This is relatable, not only to me, but to millions of people. You are not alone.

You are not alone. This video describes everything I feel. I hope you are doing well.
How are you guys doing now?!
I’m 19 and through the months of August-December I’ve diagnosed myself with a brain tumor, 7 heart attacks, collapsed lungs, and every form of nerve damage. I’m perfectly fine but there is always a voice in the back of my head telling me I’m not. It’s extremely difficult to live with. Luckily, my manager at work is the easiest person to talk to and I’ve been able to actually open up to her about it and she’s talked me through it a lot and is always there and listening. Honestly if it wasn’t for her I’d probably be mentally insane right now with how bad my anxiety was getting.
Homie, I am in the exact spot you were in the time of this comment 2 years ago right now. 19 years old with severe health anxiety. It's so horrible
Best video i have seen on health anxiety 👍🏻
Thanks a bunch Traversy!
Thank you Dr. Marks for your wisdom on this issue. I will surely make a list of my concerns and share them with my Cardiologist at my next visit. I was feeling terrible for a long time after being diagnosed with CHF, I blamed my self for not paying attention to what I was eating and how I was living, also a life full of stress. I was given a lot of medications and told that I'll probably be taking these for the rest of my life. I've learned over the years that some heart medications can do more harm to other parts of your body when taken long term, so when ever a new sensation in my body comes up , especially painful ones, I will worry. Did the Doctor give me the right medications? Why doesn't he prescribe more more natural remedies like some the doctors on you tube. You can see where I'm going with all this and what I've done to my self. You've given my some hope, especially knowing that I'm not the only one with this problem. Thanks again Lalo
I agree!
I agree
Dr. Tracey Marks what would be the main cause of continuous body pain pinch of nerves both at my legs and back and yet at times I feel strong and energized to face the day.,
This is soo weird, every single word coming out of her mouth is describing WHAT I DO !!! this is my first time hearing about the disorder even after having it for the last 3-4 years i just didnt know there was a name for the disorder but i literally have done everything she said... shes good
Big 1400 Almost same, I’m 18 and I’ve had this for my whole life, but found about it like four years ago.

I leave my doctor each time with great news I am fine fine fine And im over 50 now Life gos on and take care your health get sugar and booze out your diet your health will stay good
im in the middle, i want to go to the doctor so bad to tell me my problems and illness i may be in risk for but at the same time im scared they'll actually diagnose me with something and ill go home worrying about every single detail i feel 😭
@@simplycity8488 😭😭😭😭😭😭
literally me
I couldn’t thank you enough, Doc Tracey. I am 20-year-old student from Philippines and I’m currently suffering from Health Anxiety/Hypochondriasis. I’ve been anxious about the condition of my heart since I have difficulty in breathing and just like what you’ve said, I’m sometimes afraid to sleep at night for I fear that I might die by doing so. I’ve done many medical tests (lab and ECG, next is 2D-Echo) but by far, all of the results were normal, and I thank God for that. Being hypochondriac is really tiring and it steals my time to enjoy life more. I badly wanna end the cycle and restructure my conditioning. Thank you so much for this, I will take note all the tips and the conditioning process. To my fellow-hypochondriac streamers out there, I see you, one day this feeling will soon be replaced by calmness and healing. Hang in there, we will survive and we shall live a longer life!
I really appreciate your comment at the end. It's very reassuring thank you so much. :)

Hello how are you now fixed the problem?
Hi! Just want to ask how are you feeling right now? Or if you've undergone any therapy sessions?
Hi jess kmusta na pakiramdam mo ngayon?
Lmao I laughed at this video so hard because this is me. Omg I’m okay and I’m meditating I’ve spent soo much money and got tested and I’m fine. I just wanna thank god I’m not alone.
Yes it’s Egypt it’s time to save some money now. And you can see this pattern of behavior plays out over and over in people and you are so not alone with it.
Do you still get symptoms? or your all better now ??
ItsEGYPT are you sure tho you're ok ?
ItsEGYPT me too! I burst out laughing at one point and it felt SO good
I thought I was the only person who felt like this and had this...this is 100% who she is talking about
Literally the thought of getting cancer has ruined my life. My mother is sick of me bc she literally thinks I’m crazy at this point 😫. I’m so tired of thissss fuck I want my normal life back
My whole household looks at me like this
For me it has been going on for only 1 and a half months and I am so scared!
@I I I ammm I’m not sure how to change it
@@harroldinab we will be fine 🙌🏻
@@Ariv002 I really hope so
This legit is the worst sort of anxiety that isn't talked about enough !!!!!!! Nothing can make you feel better nothing untill you know for sure if you are okay!
EXACTLY
A lot suffer in silence
I'm so glad my husband found your videos. Living with a person who has this condition is emotionally exhausting. COVID brought out the absolute worst and while he's gotten better, I doubt he'll ever be the same. The good news is he's getting professional help, but your videos have helped confirm for him what doctor has already told him. Now he can recognize, and sometimes even laugh, at his behavior.
Yes Covid literally messed me up and at that time my beautiful mother under went Quadruple bypass and couldn't go for rehabilitation to do everything being shut down. Nine months later, she became symptomatic, ended up in the hospital with pancreatic cancer Major surgery. started chemo. March later on, was cleand for a year then December it came back with a vengeance. Mom is no longer here so . Since her death, i've had so many health issues. Wishing us and ur husband good health and peace
If you are reading the comments right now just know, you are not alone. I’m just one of many that feel like you right now. We can get through this❤️
@@heatherghimire7744 I still have sinus problems and it’s been going on for a year now. Depending on the weather some days are better than others. Googling your symptoms is one of the worst things you can do, I still stop myself from doing it even now. Seek professional medical advice from a real doctor, it will help ease of mind instead of thinking what’s wrong. You’ve been through this before and you made it this far in life, you can fight through this.
@@JexeonTV I’ve had what feels like sinus problems based on where the pain and discomfort is located but I have no congestion. I was scared it was something bad like cancer at first but after multiple phone calls with different doctors and an eye exam and a in person checkup with a a great doctor at a hospital they all said I was healthy and it was anxiety. I still find myself feeling the pain though and it cause me to google stuff and even though I have been cleared my mind still wanders sometimes.
@@Dilpik I hear you. I’m the same. It’s surprising to see how many people in the world feel and are going through the exact experiences. Anxiety is difficult to shake and even some small aspects of it will stay even when we overcome it but, keep your mind busy and know when you are feeling pain, you’ve already been through it and can come out ok again. If you can, go back to making TH-cam content again. Just do it for yourself and not all that subscribers and followers stuff. It will help keep your mind busy. I subscribed to you so, I’m looking forward to what you create when you’re ready 👍🏽
@@JexeonTV thank you so much for subscribing I subbed to you as well. I have been wanting to get back into TH-cam so I will do that soon. I’m going to do therapy like this video recommended and I have a feeling it will help my mindset and eventually my symptoms.
the reddit thing with the uncle OMG. ive literally searched "racing heart, shoulder pain reddit" and diagnosed myself with a heart attack at age 23. this video is INSANELY helpful.
After online schooling I got a panic attack and I didn’t sleep bc I’m scared of death while sleeping
Anyone else watching this and at points you kind of laugh or smile with relief that you are not alone and you are not crazy?
When she mentioned the Reddit user saying his uncle had that symptom and died in his sleep, so it must be true, I couldn’t help but laugh to myself thinking of all the times total strangers who have no idea about me or my body have confirmed my suspicions that something is seriously wrong with me.
Still in the throes of health anxiety, particularly dizziness and lightheadedness, but I’ve been given hope with this video. Thank you Dr. Tracey Marks!
Jenna Meese do you also feel a bit off balance some days?
@@curlsfordejj9078 I do!! Everyday is just another type of dizziness and vertigo!
Sameee heree hahaha
So Jenna and everyone else replying, your health anxiety manifests itself with constant dizziness and/or lightheadedness? I've had difficulty accepting this for months now but I'm finally coming around to it. Seeing others with similar experiences certainly helps.
As a fellow sufferer, all I can say is that somehow you have to find the mental fortitude to not Google anything. I don't let myself google a single symptom. And you need to learn things that tell you that you're having a panic attack, like your neck tingling or maybe your hand will twitch or something. I'm still trying to free myself from this illness but these things have helped me. Googling symptoms will only make you feel worse, and the doctor doesn't want you to google things because then they have to explain the illness you think you have and why you don't have it. There's a reason why they're the doctor and not you! You can't meaningfully interpret the information you will find. I would also recommend yoga because it's about feeling your body and calming down. That way you can learn to feel physical sensations without panicking.
I hear you on google. I've learned to not do it. But it doesn't help the rent that it is taking up in my mind 24/7.
@@TheBongorock no, but it doesn't make it any worse at least for me. It gets so much worse if I Google symptoms
Never thought my brain can manage to replicate the symptoms that i read about on Google
That one is funny 🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣
yeah and i am laughing because we are not alone! 😂
REALLYYYY???? omfg
It's not even funny for me, I just find it weird but also surprising how our brain can do this stuff that I thought a human brain can't do!
It’s a good feeling to know I’m not alone
Covid-19 has me feeling like this
Even the smallest thing I think I automatically have it🥺
Novashock 12 me tooooo😭
I even had an ambulance come check on me and they said it’s because of panic I’m feeling this way but still I am not convinced.
Me tooooo it suckss
AYOOOOO ME TOOOOOO!!
Me too Im going crazy 🥺
I was researching common types of cancers before remembering that hypochondria is a thing, and this video hit way too close to home. I have been diagnosed with ADHD about 2 years ago and things started to make sense. My dad passed away that year. A year or so later for some reason I started really paying attention to my body and I would get a sore chest sensation or my heart would race so I would stress about that and my heart would race even more. I started researching for lung diseases and found pneumonia that says you get a burning sensation in your chest and I swear that very instant my chest started to heat up and I rushed to my closest family to take me to the hospital. Turns out I had bronchitis in my oesophagus. They did an EKG and said everything looks fine but I started getting the idea that my heart is faulty, that it will suddenly stop beating in my sleep. I would obsessively check my heart rate all the time and get anxious if I don't physically feel my heart in my chest.
It's been months later and I still feel like there's something wrong with my chest or heart. I don't get it, I've never had this type of anxiety before. But it's exhausting
