I have had terrible health anxiety for the last year and just lately it has got to crisis point. From finding lumps to pains in my chest and now a tingling sensation and numbness in the left hand side of my face. I am scared I am going to have a stroke or brain aneurysm. The more I think about it, the worse the tingling gets.... At my wits end. Constant stress about health and dying is literally killing me. I am nearly 50 and this is a dangerous age, which is just adding to the problem. Seriously need some help!
I’m very sorry you’re going through this
have you had a health check up? If so and everything was OK then rest assured this is all from anxiety.
please please listen……
i I am in my early 60s and I have had health anxiety my entire life. I’ve had every symptom you can possibly Think of from numbness in tingling, chest pain, thinking I have all kinds of horrible illnesses, thinking about dying etc. it started affecting my health and my happiness and joy. I wasn’t even enjoying friends or family. or anything for that matter. It lead to depression.
i I had every medical test and all of them came back normal.
i realized how many years I had been doing this and nothing bad ever happened to me! What a waste of life! My daughter helped pull me out of this explaining that all the worry and fear did not do a single positive thing for me. And that they missed me. it was sucking the life out of me for absolutely no reason.
i finally got to the point where I said enough is enough! I told myself I’m going to enjoy my life one day at a time. And that someday we are all going to die. Nobody gets out of it so I may as well be grateful for every day and enjoy things. If something happens with my health in the future then I will deal with it at that time and no sooner!!
its just ridiculous what I did.
going to counseling did help me. It’s something that’s important because you can vent to somebody else who can help.
remember we all get aches and pains and lumps and bumps but 99% of it is nothing serious. Another thing is to stay busy. Sitting around and thinking is the worst thing you can do. When you help other people the focus is off of yourself and you feel good about what you did.
i also decided to wake up and say the things that I am grateful for in my life. There are people in this world that have it way worse.
so basically I just let it all go. I stopped worrying about my health. Even getting symptoms because I knew they were related to anxiety. if you allow it, fear and negativity will take you over completely leaving you an extremely miserable person. It’s just not worth it.
. I have my yearly check up with the doctor and if everything’s OK then I live my life!
i hope this helps even just a little bit. See if you can get a little counseling because chances are you are very healthy but there’s something inside that is causing you this extreme anxiety. It could be work, family, relationships or just generalized anxiety like I have. Take care of yourself! 
hi Luke im sorry your going through this suffering im 51 i igot bad health anxiety after my dad died of lung cancer in 2010 saw how much he was suffering couldn’t breath. on oxygen tank. i could see in it his eyes he didnt want die i felt so hopeless i couldn’t help him. i started going on this healthy eating kick. only eating raw foods like veggies and fruit and juices. so i can try to prevent getting any kind of cancer or illness . every little pain or cough or sneezing i would absolutely panic thinking im got something im going to die like my dad. years before my dad got cancer my mom died in a car accident i was 17 at the time i was scared to get in a car and go anywhere . then 2005 i got in a bad tour bus accident i hurt my back and neck and knees so i had to get surgery. i thought we were all gonna die that day . but thank god every day we didnt . so since then ive had extreme PTSD i panic in any car or bus. and also i got IBS so very bad depression and anxiety . im getting a little bitter with the health anxiety i still worrie sometimes but i just keep thinking if i was gonna die i would of died a long time ago so i must be here for a purpose . and doctors did every test on me you can every think of lol im fine they say . so i just try to keep that in my head they doctor would know if something was wrong with me and tell me. this was making me so sick worring all the time and Google on the computer all the time thinking i had every thing it said lol i also i get those pains on the side of your face like its a stroke and pains in my chest and arms . but the did all the test and nothing just anxiety and bad acid reflex. so maybe thats whats going with you maybe you have acid reflux cause it can mimic a hearttack feeling in your left arm and chest and bloating. but to make you feel better just ask the doctor to do test on you to make sure your ok. if you need to talk you can message me any time .
