I’m 38 and I’ve developed health anxiety. I’ve always had anxiety and issues related to that but 3 years ago I had a major shift in my health that turned into months of panic attacks and anxiety. Life started to get back to normal for me over the last 3 years started seeing a psychologist and 8 months ago I was able to come off my meds for anxiety and depression, however anytime any ailment pops up I have a panic attack. Most recently I had an allergic reaction to an environment I was in that turned into a asthma attack/panic attack that was Saturday Sunday I was ok I thought I was still physically not great I was congested and a little anxious went to work Monday and had 3 -6 minor panic attacks heart racing , palm sweating feeling of doom now here I am off work and still dealing I don’t know if there is something actually physically wrong or is it all in my head I mercy help.

Hi

First of all welcome to the forum you will find good support here.

I suffer with health anxiety so can relate.

One of the main things with health anxiety is to resist the urge to search Dr Google as that will only help fuel your anxiety. I like to use mindfulness meditation to help re focus my mind and stop me worrying about my health with have some good links in our resources section so take a look.
