I convinced myself I have muscular dystrophy

Ok so I was in class and I picked out a book about muscular dystrophy and read it and I started to panic because I started to have the symptoms my arm started to shale and my feel weak then after that I started to panic I need some help sad

I have the same thing. My legs and arms/hands shake and feel weak constantly! 

Ken,  we can read about any condition and think that we might have it. You can take just about any symptom and it will be found in most conditions., Even ones that are not serious.

You were reading about muscular dystrophy which caused anxiety and adrenaline rushed through your body.  Then you felt weakness. It’s a natural reaction to fear.

Anxiety can make you believe  that something is wrong when it is not. When anxiety and fear set in, they can cause negative thinking. Fear and negative thinking are not based on fact or reality.  

Anxiety  can cause hundreds of different symptoms such as weakness, shortness of breath, muscle twitching, floaters in the eyes, feeling lightheaded or off balanced, rapid heart rate, and on and on.

Do you have a history of anxiety? Please  don’t read about serious conditions because it will cause you more anxiety for nothing. 

The more you worry the more symptoms you will have. 

Get a checkup with your doctor for peace of mind.

You are in control, not anxiety!

Listen to great audio meditations on you tube for anxiety.

They have them for Panic, Overthinking, etc 

Relax. 🙂❤️
