I wish my doctor had spoken to me with the same words that you use... he would have saved me from a lot of grief and pain. Now, at 67, I realize that 90% of my problems were caused by anxiety over the years. Thanks for your channel.
I agree with this some doctors dont actually believe in health anxiety that can affect your whole body. Thus, they will make you more terrified and use some of them to presume the worst
I have never touched a dog or bat in my life, but the day I searched rabies symptoms I had lot of them the very same day 😢 that’s how powerful anxiety is
Hi Cherelle! Returned back to check on you :) . Roughly 2 years ago I had been dealing with really bad symptoms that were caused by anxiety. After a really bad episode one particular day, I stumbled across your channel and it was such a breath of fresh air. Because of anxiety I had really bad symptoms : My hands would go numb , one of my nail had a ridge , moles popped up , I couldn't sleep at night , my speech was affected, every time I walked it felt as if I was somehow floating , had tinnitus , many times would feel a burning sensation in armpits and the back. Multiple brainscans , bloodwork , ultrasounds , MRIs done but nothing found. At last as I cooled down , my symptoms slowly started fading away. And here I am now after two years : a healthy functioning human being doing my day-to-day activities ( I still have 1-2 symptoms btw, but it's manageable). I really appreciate the way you came out of the dark phase in your own life and are helping others do the same as well. To those having anxiety or an actual disease , hang in there! Things change , and they can change faster than you imagine. Sometimes the reaction to our problems are more problematic than the problem itself 😊
I'm balling my eyes out here. It's the first time I've genuinely felt understood. Battling heart palpitations the last few months and its currently got too much for me and its ruining my life. Thank you SO much for your content.
Over the last 15 years I went through so many anxiety symptoms…beginning with trouble swallowing/speaking/burning mouth syndrome. Then it was mostly GI issues, dizziness, fatigue. Then I developed a rash that had no medical cause (had a biopsy done), then it was intense chest pain, then jaw pain, ear ringing, pulsating sensations in my ears and my extremities. Right now it‘s the tingling that drives me crazy. New symptoms scare me; the old ones don‘t. They always pass when my situation resolves. It‘s almost always a move, a job change that throws me back into the arms of anxiety. I have to mention that I am a medical doctor. We are not exempt from this. Sometimes I think it makes it worse. I know about all the rare diseases…so the google is kind of inside of me. It is so hard.
Anxiety causes muscle tension. I always had tension in my jaw and neck…this just exacerbated and affected my tongue, too. It was like a brick in my mouth, and it was superpainful. As Cherelle had mentioned, I had the most trouble with my „s“ and „sh“ sounds :/. But after treatment, it went away completely.
Lena, omgoodness! (firstly I have all those symptoms too. But…) How on earth do you deal with being a doctor and having health anxiety? I would find it so immensely triggering! Meeting with patients, some of which do have disease, and then you not relating that back to yourself. I can’t believe that you could manage your profession with health anxiety. Wow! Thanks for sharing.
yes its hard if your also a medical professional, you are most exposed to medical condition.. im a pharmacist and I also have health anxieties and its hard to stop mind of thinking the worst case scenarios
@@brightsideoflife1106 I totally get you. I also suffer from pharmacophobia. Like when I read (or know) about sideffects of a medication I need to take I IMMEDIATELY develop symptoms of those 🙈. Sometimes after one pill. It‘s terrible. If it‘s 1 in 10 000 my mind just directly goes „it‘s gonna be you“.
Because she's been all throught it and had experienced everything - that's why she is SO true and authentic! she is real and I put faith in her. Absolutely perfect description of what I feel.
You explained this so incredibly well. I have had so many symptoms that I thought "couldn't" be anxiety, but I'm learning that anxiety can cause SUCH a wide array of symptoms. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience!
That's perfectly normal. The nervous system is interlinked between the gut and the brain. There are so many nerves in the gut, it's called the second brain.
I suffered from chronic inflammation for 3 years, thought of all sorts of illness then started meditation, understood what I want, changed career and guess what? No more inflammation..
I've had every symptom you can think of. I went through tragedy after tragedy and all of a sudden I start having anxiety attack after anxiety attack. Waking up from night frights and panic attacks. Numbness in my entire body. Fingers tingling. Night Sweats. Lump in throat. Terrible symptoms. Went to ER doctors found nothing from blood work or CT scan and told me to take vitamins and go home and rest... It helped for a while but soons I would be ok, it would be something to happen again. You are so right its all in your head. When we google things, worry about everything, and stress our bodies our fight/flight kicks in and the adrenaline goes until it the body feels safe again. This will be a continous cycle if you don't focus and get back on track. This will cause your body to be tired and want to sleep continously all day. You were spot on with all of this and one day I will be back to normal because this last month has been rough
I have severe symptoms. Idk if all this can really be anxiety??? 1. Weird brain feeling like cognitive overload, as if my actual brain is tense but without pain, randomly throughout the day. 2. Shaky hands. 3. Chest pain. 4. Sensitivity to noise. 5. Sensitivity to light (sometimes). 6. Feeling like my legs are shaking, but they aren't. 7. Urge to move legs in bed, as if they are full of energy, but I'm tired. 8. Pain throughout my body, sometimes with burning muscles or deep bone aches everywhere that seem to come in flares. 9. Pinprick headaches. 10. Episodes of sudden fast heart rate. 11. Episodes of sudden shaky hands. 12. Sharp stabbing pains in various parts of my body. 13.Oversensitivity to sensations (e.g., feeling a wet spot on my shirt like a burning pain in my chest). 14. Adrenaline surges with increased blood pressure. 15. Jolts with fast heart rate even when relaxing. 16. Feeling restlessness. 17. Brain fog. 18. Sharp eye pain. 19. Twitching all over my body, all day, every day. 20. Numbness and tingling randomly without panic attacks. 21. Fast heart rate upon standing up. 22. Vision suddenly flashing, as if someone is rapidly turning the light switch on and off for a couple of minutes. (This one just happened a couple times, really scary) 23. Lightheadedness, off balance, and feeling faint. 24. Feeling like you're suddenly dropping when walking. 25. Inability to stand for extended periods (get shaky, feel faint). 26. Feeling like you're falling when lying in bed. 27. Suddenly having a fast heart rate at sleep onset. 28. Visual vertigo (walking by glass windows makes me feel faint). 29. Tight abdomen out of nowhere, comes and goes. 30. Internal vibrations, like bees buzzing in legs, or little twitches internally all over legs. 31. Feeling like your body is going to just drop and start convulsing, but it doesn't. 32. Body sometimes randomly jerks, like an arm or a leg
I suffer from a lot of the things you have listed. For a while it was the tightness in the head always having weird aches and pains. Then it was my ear pulsating which led me down the path of brain tumors/cancer etc. I had a MRI head scan and they found nothing. I had my ears checked and they said my ears looked great and had perfect hearing. Whenever my anxiety spikes I always feel dizzy/fatigue. As of lately I've been stressing over left chest tightness/pains/tingling and sensations along with indigestion and chest burn. I also will sit down for a while and when I get up I have sharp pains under my ribs. Obviously I still suffer from health anxiety however I've stopped googling my symptoms and try telling myself to relax and that I'm okay because obviously nothing has happened yet. All in all I think that what you are suffering from is health anxiety. I'm praying for you and hope all gets well soon!
I have many of these symptoms as well. It is a hyperstimulated nervous system. I don't know how to turn it off. Understanding what it is does seem to help. I wish you all the best as this is truly a struggle.
Had to stop googling , it made me develop really bad health anxiety! I mean bad.. I don’t google anymore… just need to trust in God which is the only true source of peace .
I am si grateful for your videos. I have insane health anxiety ever since a doctor appointment last year. I started to get brain zaps from extreme anxiety and stress and it made me feel like I was going crazy. Once I got rid of what was causing stress it literally went away. I have a regular doctor appointment in a few days and getting the text confirmation put me in an insanely anxious state and watching your videos is making me feel so freaking seen. Reading the comments has literally calmed me down so much. I’m still nervous but I’m realizing all the freaking physical symptoms and I’m more motivated now to find ways to calm myself down cause I have no reason to be afraid!!
@@duckie4655 thank you. I asked because once in a while I get these "glitches" I will call them, like when you're watching TV & the broadcasting gets interrupted for a second. I kind of feel detached from my body for a second
My anxiety is always up and down. And I get a lot of physical symptoms which scare me all the time. I’m always finding my way back to your channel, you always remind me that I’m not the only one who has symptoms when having anxiety and there are others out the going through the same thing without it being some kind of bad disease that’s going to finish me off. And that it can just be your body telling you your stressed and anxious, or that it’s recovering from the anxious episode etc Thank you for helping me and so many others through hard worrying times xx
You have been the greatest help to me, I’m still suffering a lot from physical symptoms, not so much fight or flight anxiety symptoms though . Thanks to you, you have helped me to slowly reframe my mindset; I appreciate all the work you do for people like us.
This is so helpful. I'm always worrying about heart disease or cancer. Feeling for lumps, checking my heartbeats, checking my pulse. I figured out how to palpate myself for sign of metastases and to check my lymph nodes. I was nauseated one day and my head started believing it was a brain tumor. My tummy is sometimes wonky so my mind decided it was colon- or rectal cancer. I had ectopic heart beats so I figured it was heart failure and started obsessing about various types and looking at life expectancy stats, yt vids about HF and reddit posts. I'm googling and reading everything about it and anxiety goes through the roof. It's absolutely insane. When I was younger had several episodes where I would break down crying and calling the doctor because I was convinced I'd have a cardiac arrest. For a few years I was afraid of excersing because of fear it would make my heart stop. I have had a huge fear of fainting for many years. For many years I managed to get over it by thinking along the lines of "well, I guess I'll die then" but now it's come back. There's definitely a connection with the trouble shooting, the more I try to find reassurance the worse it gets.
I've been experiencing stomach problems and heart palpitations for more than a year now and they did get better over time, but once I lost my father suddenly nothing's been the same I can't even write/ think or talk about that day without tearing up and heart racing, and recently for the past month I've been getting even more symptoms like fatigue, strange aches and throbs in my body mainly my right leg, weak feeling or feeling sick (sick part is something I do to myself alot since I have emetophobia, I could be exaggerating on some of the other symptoms) and heart palpitations and burning sensations in the chest, chest pains that aren't severe but hurt and tight that is on and off and moves in different parts of my chest, and head pain and neck pain (lack of sleep) been to the doctors so many times and nothing so far, I keep looking up online about if I have a hemorrhage in the brain (which is how my father died suddenly) or diabetes, heart attack, blood clots, heart failure, stomach cancer and so on and so on, so yea I've been under a lot of stress lately and my doctor recommended me to a psychologist so hopefully thing's get better...
Please never start producing professional videos...it's your relatability that is your power..I've watched many other content providers and nobody comes close to you..nobody. The fact that you are specifically focused on health anxiety and have been a sufferer puts you way above anyone else I have seen, and it's a fact that you being British is a positive for us brits also...you are amazing and thank you..I have been suffering for 35 years and it's you who has given me the confidence and drive to rid myself of this nightmare..thank you ❤
I developed debilitating health anxiety due to the social media algorithm showing me 99% of the time cancer related videos. I started being obsessed self examine myself to the point where I had small bruises on my breasts. It’s so bad, it ruins my life and I’m scared to eat anything that doesn’t have enough fiber in it or only very limited natural products. I am already very slim but now I’m skinny and I ride my Peleton daily obsessively. To the point where Peleton sent me a message asking me to make sure I take a rest day. Every day I count my fiber intake, calorie intake, caffeine intake, etc. Everything is a numbers game. I seek constant reassurance and validation of my concerns. It’s such a horrible way to live my life and it’s starting to have effects on my marriage and 4 little children.
Same it happen to me and made me get a ctscan cause I thought I had cancer and now I regert the ct scan due to radition since my test came out fine. My aniexty now at level 8 to point where I can't sleep or eat
Marvelous video. I have suffered with PTSD and anxiety for many years now. There are so many symptoms, it seems like constant zaps, pains, trembling, etc. My traditional doctor was no help. It was my new naturopathic doctor, war veterans with PTSD, and RU-vid channels like yours that have helped me understand and begin to ease my anxiety and PTSD. Thank you.
Im a realtor and tnite i walked into an abandoned dark house that had spiders webs that one couldn’t see I walked into to so many I could have sworn I was bit by a spider and that’s why I was feeling this way. Had my gf examine my body to see if there was anything there and sure enough no bites. This is the second time I experience these weird sensations. The first was around spiders as well. Obvi I have a fear of spiders and i think this is what triggered this sensations. Now I just need to be calm breathe in the positive exhale the negative🧘🏻♂️great video ty for sharing.
I just want to say I just found you today and you’ve already helped me with these videos. Knowing you’ve been through the worst makes me put full trust in what you’re saying. Specifically when you gave the example of saying “this can’t be anxiety” when the symptoms are so strong. That really made me feel better because I often have those thoughts that it’s something more than anxiety. I’m glad you’re doing so well now and thank you for helping others.
Does anyone get daily flashes of light in there vision, all throughout the day? And head pressure along with brain fog all the time almost. I even have to remember to breathe throughout the day. 😢
Thanks for your reply, yes I got tested and the ophthalmologist said my eyes were among the most healthy he has seen. It’s just nerve racking that it happens so frequently.
@anxietykidd9373 DO you still get the flashes of light in ur vision, I get them all the time, like a wee light or lights going across quickly? Got my eyes tested and they said there healthy. Anxiety still not gone thought.
Yes, I get them every day. Some days worst than others, had my eyes checked as well. Everything was fine. My PC said it’s probably anxiety. As a CT scan I did a few months ago came back fine as well. I also have trouble focusing, like I can see everything when I’m looking but for some reason my eyes can’t focus. Kinda like tunnel vision.
Thank you for your videos❤ they have helped me a lot lately. Im 28, and i just a while ago truly realized that i have had hypochondria all my life and its a problem, and i need to get rid of it. I got it probably from my mom who is just the same as me. She was actually really sick when i was a kid and I was always scared back then but didnt know why. She is okay now but still hypochondriac and i dont think she knows it herself either. So thats a bad combination when we both are having a panic and we both stress about weird symptoms and try to help eachother but i think we just make it worse..But its time for this to end now, im so fucking sick of being afraid. I got actual chronic disease this winter so my mental health has been so bad because of it.. Im so tired of stressing about everything. Atm im here anxiously waiting for gynecologist appointment and trying to put my big girl pants on. Trying to think that it is not a big deal and i will survive this. I dont want this to rule my life anymore. Sorry for the long story! Sending love❤
Came across your channel a few days ago and already you’re making me feel so much better than anyone else has so far. Thank you so much and happy new year to you!
You're the first person to tell me that anxiety can cause more physical stuff than mental. I don't understand why hasn't any doctor or therapist told me this before. I always assumed you first have to sort of get maximum mental symptoms and only after that you start developing the physical shit. Once you said it in the video my raynaud's eased immediately and my fingers went warm, something I very rarely get these days anymore. Thank you so much. Subscribed!
I saw two videos your way helps, when the video ends I spiral again 😥 I will try to stop the aggravating behaviors to stop the anxiety and have faith that if I actually do have sth I will notice it, it will not escape me. Even me without health anxiety I am still vigilant I still notice stuff. I will take care of it I need to have that faith and stop scratching it.
Thank you so much for this video. For the last 14 days I've had twitches all over my body also accompanied with pain as if I have been working out, which I haven't. I've experienced ALS up close in my life as my mother died from this when she was only 56, and I was the taking care of her and visiting daily until we got 24/7 help. I have never had twitches like this, so naturally I am nervous. As far as I could understand from the doctor it's very rarely a hereditary disease, but anyways, you do get nervous when you've witnessed this. You said one thing that calmed me though in another video which is that it usually starts with weakness either in legs or mouth (which my mother had - she couldn't speak properly and was drooling etc). I have none of those signs. I do feel a bit weak, like my hands are shaking, but I think that is only anxiety as well. I will try to remind myself of this. AND I am in a stressful period of my life, so anxiety totally makes sense.
Lost my mum.to severe ms found out we both have autism as my grandfather and heds diagnosed fybromyalgia CFS years or another says it's anxiety pain sins now diagnosed autism ADHD hypomobility
I feel such a sense of calm when I listen to your videos. I suffered so many horrible events 18 months ago; an unexpected death in the family, death of a loved one from cancer, losing my job through redundancy, a few friendship breakups, more people i know getting cancer diagnosis. I had chest pains and heart palpitations first, for months on end, every day. When this stopped, i thought I was cured. Now the last month I've been dealing with headaches, tension through the back of my head, round the sides and to the front. I get brain zaps too, and my ears wont stop popping. I can't help but think I have a brain tumor, and i don't know how to stop these thoughts. One half of my brain knows this is anxiety, and I watch your videos and think "Yes thats exactly what I feel, i know I'm feeling physical anxiety right now".... But then the little voice in my head says "but what if shes wrong though? What if you are dying? How do you know?" Does anyone else feel this? I logically understand this is anxiety and health anxiety, but I cant quite get my brain to believe itself. Does that make sense?
You are not alone in this. First sorry about your losses! I have been dealing for a month with anxiety after my panic attack. I still till now feel upper back pain, neck pain, numbness and tingling in the jaw and left arm and sometimes in legs. I feel palpitations and chest pain as well as ribs pains. I did all the heart tests but everything came back normal. But i still feel the same! Trying to overcome this but the problem is in the mind specially when i sit alone. I hope you feel better and if you wanna talk about it feel free.
Your videos are great. I thought I was dying at one point but then i recognised a pattern that I only felt like that was when I was under severe stress and anxiety
Thank you for making this. Ive been trying to see a doctor about this and have suffered anxiety on off for over a decade but the skin prickling and pinpricks really sent me into further panic after months of stress over various things.
Wow. Incredible there’s someone like you who exists. I didn’t want to accept these things either til it happened after I was triggered each time. The symptoms linger for so long after chronic stress bc of ptsd. Skin tingling turns into skin problems etc ugh
I have hypochondriasis. I was sctratched by a dog (a puppy, and shes fine) and my brain convinced myself i had rabies. I was actually losing my mund stressing over it. These are symptoms i have personally experienced. 1 Chest pain 2 Stomach pain, cramps, turning feeling. 3 dizziness 4 Throat feels swollen, hard to swallow/ keep food and water down 5 fatigue 6 weight loss 7 pin and needles, jittering Things i would do: 1 googling any new symptoms. 2 constanly asking other people for opinions.
This is so true.. the more I read about a certain disease.. the more I experience the symptoms related to the disease.. And it make me question if its coincidence then get stressed thinking about it..
I had my first anxiety attack the other day out the blue i've had so much stress lately it got too much to bear i went all funny in my car it was very scary but ever since im getting tingling and itching sensations and it has worried me sick. Watching your videos today has really helped me calm down. It must be hightened senses due to fight or flight.
It happens to me too its called huperventilation and it happens in anxiety due to excess of adrenaline and heart rate I think not sure tho but ye it happened to me the other day and I tought I was getting a seizure😂 but It's all good man hope yo pass trough this and I hope me too
I've just came across you becuase I am literally experiencing health anxiety at the moment. Recently got a diagnosis of neurodermatitis, and I like to think that it's my body's way of telling me to chill the fuck out. Thank you for doing these videos, because I feel like someone actually understand what I'm going through. Thank you.
Thank you. I really needed this information and these suggestions from you. I have somehow managed to go from being very calm and collected to just absolute nightmare levels of anxiety within a year, imagining just the worst illnesses, STDs, organ problems to just extreme worry about not sleeping and therefore not sleeping, which then of course affects work and social parts of life which then leads to more stress and anxiety. And somehow I have had immense problems getting out of that loop as there has always been the next thing I managed to get worked up about.
Thank you so much for this video. I am 66 and have been suffering from Health Anxiety for over 24 years. I thought I was going mad! A lot of the things you mention here I have had and although some of them I put down to this, I wasn't sure. It's an embarrassing thing to talk about. You are an inspiration. x
I'm 64 very bad anxiety 😢😢😢😢 sad 😢 I feel so sorry for anyone going through this video is so true and I am seriously trying to get healthy ty for sharing 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I never knew how intense health anxiety was until i got it myself. I remember hearing about it and not really understanding fully what it was but wow i get it now. I really fucking do! 😢 it convinces you that you're crazy. It's this darkness that takes hold of your body. And it controls you. You try to control it but no matter how much you keep fighting you always somehow feel like you cannot win. It's exhausting to experience those evil symptoms. 😢 i've never been pushed to the edge before in that way to the point where i felt like i was close to having a mental breakdown and i mean that. It really made me fear everything. It made me fear my own shadow even. I can't even go outside for a normal walk at night anymore. I used to go at night because i thought to myself that it would be great for me and that at night time there aren't many people outside and so they can't judge me but now with all the episodes of anxiety that i have encountered along the way. It has made it a whole lot harder to go outside or to feel slightly normal. I haven't felt normal in so long and anxiety has officially ruined me. I have been trying to get out of that dark hole though because i know that it's not good for me to keep thinking negatively. And i have been meditating which has been SUCH a life saver! Honestly though it really shifted my perspective! I have been meditating on and off for years now. I've started since i was a kid but then took it very seriously as a teen and now as an adult i need to meditate like crazy or else i would be the one going crazy💀🌚 It's still not easy for me to feel like myself and for a lack of a better word "normal"... But i am still obviously trying my best. I don't really get any support for it either and so I'm basically having to be strong for myself and that shit is so much harder than most people think. Just taking that next step and having to basically be your own warrior in those dark turbulent times. That shit is hard as hell. It sometimes feels IMPOSSIBLE to have a good day because of how your brain usually thinks of certain things. It's hard to just be optimistic but i have forced myself to get there lately. But as soon as you do it it just becomes more and more addictive. I know that positivity and shifting your mindset works because i have had weeks and weeks of good days before after many days of only just having anxiety attacks, panic disorder and health anxiety. So i have faith that it can change again because it did change not that long ago so there is hope of course! Even just writing about this right now is somehow making me feel more and more positive because of my own outlook. I know that i can be really negative at times because of how my brain usually thinks but lately i have really trying to push negative out of the way and i have really tried to be more positive instead because i am quite aware that that's the ONLY way to be! 😃💅🏽
This video is very helpful especially for me as a sufferer from chronic dizziness and pppd. As my healing journey has gone on I’ve been experiencing a great deal of anxiety related physical symptoms which add to my dizziness. This has helped me realise to stop putting so much stress on my body.
One of the most insidious things that happened with me was that I'd read about symptoms or a certain condition and, hours or days later, I will physically feel those sensations. That would end me into a tailspin, convinced something was very wrong. Hardest things I have ever been through.
Please try Lithium orotate if you suffer from health anxiety. This trace mineral is basically a game changer without any side effects , tolerance or dependency issues.
Thank you for ur reassurance to us❤ most time I thought very strange nightmare and dwell on darkly dead path . I have been suffering from stress and depression since long time ago when I had been pressured myself by negative overthinking and balmming also I have social anxiety for long time. I have to change these things to be a more productive man myself. 😊
Cherelle, I'd like to thank you for sticking with this forum for all these yrs. I'm much better now after counsellng and determination to get better, but many years ago maybe ten or more I found you on youtube and would watch your videos all nite until the fear would subside and I could sleep...much love to you & your family ❤ (How old is the baby now?)
By 14 I’d been depressed and anxious for awhile. Not only in school but in theatre constantly having extreme anxiety auditioning and competing for leads. My voice teacher putting immense pressure on me to sing opera and ignoring the strain I’d be having and not showing me how to fix my technique. Which singing was my passion. I’d just be in my room alone overthinking every day. I couldn’t walk for a bit, I developed chronic pain, sensitivity to touch, body twitching, brain fog, so many things. No tests ever showed anything, doctors constantly told my parents and I that I was lying for attention, I’m the problem, I need to stop faking it. My parents suspected Lyme disease so they took me to a specialist but the tests aren’t always accurate so I don’t test positive but they treated me anyway which is super experimental with what works on who and it would be multiple really strong meds at the same time. I was on like malaria medications and shit. It was literally killing me slowly though so my parents stopped it and went holistic. Which being gluten free and cutting out certain foods and stuff did help me feel good at least weight wise but only once my mental health improved did I start getting better. Now I wonder if all of that was just from anxiety the whole time. I’d feel bad for all the money my parents spent if that was the case. But I’m starting to think it is. I had been worried for a bit recently if I really was faking it somehow. But how I’ve been really anxious cause I have a baby, I’m moving, my parents are putting pressure on me to not move cause they will miss my baby too much and be depressed, my bf and I are doing a fixer upper home which comes with a million problems we can’t afford to fix all of. My mom is an overthinker and ocd which makes me overthink and I also have ocd but not as bad as her which she doesn’t understand, I constantly have to worry about my sons health and he has food allergies. I have an iud which freaks me out but my mom made me get, im freaking out that I left a tampon in but 99% sure I did not. So many things going on rn and I’ve been really stressed which has made my existing problems flare up along with weird headaches and pain in my bones I haven’t had before. I have my son to live for. This has to be anxiety doing this to me.
Anyone on this feed been vaccinated against Covid? My anxiety got worse a few months after the jab. Think back to when your symptoms started or got worse??? I’ve always been anxious. However after the vaccine it’s more severe
Same. I got the covid vaccine along with some others that I can’t remember when I was in army basic training. I never had flashes in my peripheral until after I got all those vaccines.
Hey Cherelle, are we related?? 😂 But seriously, I’ve been through a couple of other programs for anxiety and no one more closely relates and explains precisely what I’m experiencing… I subscribed last night and what you say just resonates.. I feel more calm already and am looking forward to getting out of this hole.. It’s time! Thank you! 🙏🏼
So bizarre you mentioned burning armpits. I suffer from severe anxiety. Nausea, stomach issues. I thought I was the only one with armpits burning. Hope you’re doing well.
Doctor why do my eyes go deep in my head Sunken eyes it's called I literally can't leave the house So conscious of my looks Thank u for explaining anxiety People really don't understand what we make threw It's really not a faith thing Everyone say u must have faith I genuine didn't know anything about anxiety and depression Until my doctor told me It's a struggle everyday God Bless us all
As i walk my vision shakes the doctor told me there is a mismatch due to anxiety. But i don’t believe that anxiety can cause this and looking for some actual disease😢
It's really hard dealing with anxiety to include health anxiety. It's gotten better but still a daily struggle for me and I wish I could just get rid of it. It's been so much that it's literally gotten in the way of my daily life before. She's definitely right about stop Googling but also go to therapy, do breathing exercises, lay off caffeine, prioritize sleep, listen to anxiety doesn't own me on SPotify, go to church groups, MEDITATE, do MEDITATION EXERCISES, journal, practice mindfulness and gratitude or include them in your journaling, and do grounding practice. This was so bad for me that it made life not seem worth moving forward before because the pain was taking over and it still affects me to a degree however even though my case is far from closed I'm living proof that things can get better.
I have developed severe anxiety symptoms that never were there before. Like tiny, tiny issues with talking so I have convinced myself that it is the start of the end. I have thought I had ALS although I have been to neurologist two months ago. It's horrible.
I felt like something pressing my head, my sight is giving me problems, always feel tired, my legs and arms shake a little, I feel a little numb and (I know I'm exaggerating things) sometimes I think I'm losing my ability to speak properly, read properly and even send a good written text. My parents told me that I keep thinking that I have a tumor in my brain and this is why I have so much stress realted symptoms. I admit that I don't properly trust them because I always fear it might be it this time but ending up in your channel made me feel better because you convinced me that I have stress related symptoms. Sure the fear sometimes comes again but I will try to fight it and win everyday ✨
I’ve had this sort of headache for a week constant pressure been to hospital and doctors and opticians and they’ve all said its tension headache but I’m scared it’s an aneurysm, they’ve done my obs, they’ve done my coordination etc, but it keeps coming and I get tingling in my left arm.
Been having upper back and rib pain for months. Goes around my ribs and in my chest, shoulders and neck. Blood work, MRI, accupuncture, PT, chiropractor, massage, stress test. No answers and nothing helps. Constantly googling symptoms. So much fear and anxiety. Why is this happening to me.
I think from my experience with health anxiety and learning from people like Cherell try to give it some time for the anxiety to weaken and the reasoning part of the mind to work, and have some confidence in what the doctors are saying.
I am a ( retired) NHS high intensity therapist. I have done this many times and some tests to just prove to myself that it really works. If I ruminate, obsess about having stomach cramps, guess what, I get stomach cramps.
12 years of health anxiety, gone through every illness in the book, Now im going thrught ALS anxiety, really bad. twitching in the left side of face, twitching in my body, pinky finger shakes causeing a starnge sensation in my arm. Im just tired of all this anxiety stuff.
Hey friend, ALS doesn't start that way. Please be reassured that if you're twitching in multiple places it's incredibly unlikely to be ALS. That tends to start in one area 😊
Thank you for your Utube Channel. I thought I was alone on how I felt about thing's, Twitching worried about going to sleep, thing's like that always delt with Anxiety alone your Channel is the First one I Subscribed to please keep doing what you're doing. Take care and Thanks again😊
my friend was hospitalized for a UTI and I was helping her calm down from the scariness of it… and guess what? i woke up the next day with a RAGING UTI needing antibiotics and everything. weird how the body works
Currently going through such a weird symptom of feeling excited/nervous and it makes me want to laugh kinda, I googled and made it so much worse as I found conditions that can make you feel like laughing. I’m doing my best to ignore it but it’s certainly a really weird one for me and I’ve had health anxiety for almost 10 years on and off.
It's been a whirlwind the past three months. That is when symptoms surfaced. Left side arm pain, burning left side pain down to my hand, left side breast pain at night, and phantom pains that come and go. Insomnia. Chronic worry-- is it cancer? Never had these before until I bottomed out. Minus health insurance and a skeptical medical world. Translation: up against a wall.
This is me,, let me add.. I feel something stuck in my throat ..and its been 3 months now,, but I dont worry about it now ., I move on to another symptoms, never stop worrying!
My health anxiety started after I had surgery, I started to get aura migraines so often and one episode of retinal migraine two weeks ago. Started seeing floaters. Everything has been checked and is fine but I’m constantly scared for my vision, it’s driving me crazy.
Hey there. I just want to say what I'm going through.. I had a history of anxiety and I've been very anxious most of my life. Since few weeks now I feel my anxiety has got physical. I feel this head pressure and face pressure. The sudden tingling on the cheeks and the feeling like I'm about to loose it. And when I feel like I'm losing it, i start to twich a little and Im not able to talk properly like i get nervous and i stammer.. for few seconds i feel my face has got numb and I'll collapse now. This has made my life hell. I cant relax. Im not thjnking about it actively but im very worried deep down. I've done all blood checks and heart check ups and all seem normal. Its just a little bit of cholesterol. But why is all that physical symptom for.. I'm so damn worried.
You seem so much better then your first videos, it gives me hope i can get better. I have three daughters and just get so worried about leaving them. Been having back pain and waiting mri results. I am sure i am manifesting some of these symptoms. I ve had ibs since this all started. So thought i had bowel cancer for ages! It just seems i have the tests am reassured by gp. Then i have a new symptom and it starts again ! What do you think of tapping ? I also worry if i dont worry that will be the time something really is wrong its awful. My mum suffered with health anxiety and has been under section for 4 years now. So i get scared that will be my future if i carry on with this. Sorry for the vent
Sometimes it feels like I can’t even talk properly I keep stumping over my words or I say stuff that doesn’t make sense but to me it just comes out if you get what I mean cause I can’t find the right words to say that point of time where my head feels so funny😢 keep thinking I might have a tumour
