I’m SO grateful to stumble across your page as I’m neck deep in health anxiety. I’m feeling a multitude of symptoms even though my GP says I’m fine and my labs say I’m fine. My anxiety causes fatigue, palpitations, throat tightness, nausea, etc. I’m literally fixated on these symptoms. And they just jump around. Which has led to me self diagnosing. This video was so helpful.
There is a good strategy that a Health Anxiety psychiatrist recommends for his patients who have already been checked out by a doctor and had labs done but then start to doubt the doctor or start to think he/she missed something - he says remind yourself that we do NOT know better than even the youngest inexperienced doctor - remind yourself that they have spent between 7-10 years studying the human body and diseases and are also constantly keeping up to date with the latest research findings etc - so we have to TRUST their diagnosis over ourselves - we only have Dr Google, other lay people and our ANXIETY - all of which are nothing compared to the doctor we saw. We can get a 2nd opinion from another doctor but ONLY if the symptoms are genuinely of an urgent matter and after we have made ourselves wait things out. When we are anxious we are just not in a good frame of mind to make those sort of decision. My mistrust of doctor's diagnosis was that bad at one point that, because I live in a regional town, I was willing to drive on unsafe roads, in the dark, in the middle of rain storms, just to go get a diagnosis from a doctor I did completely trust and it wasn't until my sister (who is a nurse) said to me "you have more chance of having a road accident than your symptom being something serious" (I was telling myself that it was melenoma). So I made myself wait until a couple of weeks I could go see a doctor in the city and by the time I saw her my anxiety had calmed right down and of course it was simply a bruise from an injury and it eventually faded to nothing.
Had all these for years now throat tightness now ok but it went in my chest after now it's in my shoulder I always have one constant pain symptom and others come diffarant times IE from rest you will be ok believe me from a lifelong suffer though u didn't no for many years but still fighting symptoms myofacial pain
I hope you’re feeling better now! I’ve had these earlier on my health anxiety journey (1 year ago) and they went away eventually when I got everything checked but my brain is never satisfied because it’s been in overdrive so it replaces one symptom with another as soon as I’ve felt some relief. At this stage I’ve had symptoms all over my body and they started to repeat. Im laughing at myself now…
Same happens with me i went from symptoms of oral cancer to heart attack to brain cancer to urinary tract to nurelogical sensation in just a week ...😂 .. and bad thing is whatever i Google i get its symptoms in just an hour ...i m exhausted by this cycle of anxiety but your videos are giving ke hope
THIS! Anxiety is so evil. As soon as i started feeling better i get another symtom and i litterally say to myself that this is it youve actually got cancer. Its such a hard battle😓. Ive been getting nausea, muscle aches, twitches, white/ clear phlegm stuck in my throat and now my skin has felt really sensitive and everytime i see a red mark or rash it flipped me out. I found 2 bruises 1 on my elbow and one on my bicep which is weird because ive stayed at home for 3 months worrying. Ive seen the doctor and is said all is good and we have done the tests to rule things out. He said its anxiety and im wondering does anyone have similar symptoms
Oh my goodness yes..bruises can be an issue for me too..especially if I can't remember banging myself somewhere and they come up big and black..I am actually dealing with that now..initially I started telling myself that it is definitely Leukemia and so I found myself constantly watching the bruise to make sure it heals EXACTLY in the time frame that Dr Google says!! But anyway one good thing I did discover when Googling was that a herb that I have been taking for nearly 8 months for anxiety (Ashwaghanda) actually thins the blood and can in some people cause easy bruising..so I have had to tell myself that and I focus on that over the 2 week period that Cherelle suggests and if necessary I will re-evaluate the bruise then to see if it definitely warrants a doctors visit. When we are anxious we do zoom in on things like bruises because they are so visible..but it is completely normal for some people to have at least half a dozen bruises at a time..and even if being inactive..we can do it in our sleep or knock ourselves walking from bedroom to toilet on doors or cupboards and when just don't remember doing it. When we are also anxious or depressed we don't eat properly either so can get a bit low in the vitamins that protect from easy bruising (Vitamin C, K and even iron and folic acid). So I just try to focus on eating properly (without getting obsessed with that too - everything in moderation) and then doing my strategies daily. I long for the day to go back to how I use to live..too busy to even notice symptoms!
I hope you feel better. I was having a numb face and numb left side. ER. They said your fine. Two doctors and a chiropractor they say it's anxiety. Muscle tightness. Neurological symptoms. I starred taking Lexapro and for 3 weeks I felt good. Boom one day. All the symptoms back. My advice, do not self diagnose. Stay away from googling. It never helps.
Brilliant advice again Cherelle..that 2 week wait time has been SUCH a help for me..it gives me a sense of control and makes me feel like I AM doing something about the situation..otherwise I would just spend ALL day EVERY day either Googling, asking advice online or from friends or family or visiting doctors or the ER...and that way of living is so depressing and fuels the anxiety. I tell myself IF the symptom is the beginning of something serious or deadly then I will deal with it at the appropriate time and in the meantime (over 2 weeks) I am going to live my life normally and even though it is difficult at times to stop the temptation to Google or inspect the symptom, I find if I keep myself busy and productive that temptation does subside and living positively actually helps our overall general health anyway. Something interesting that I discovered a few years ago actually was that according to Dr Caroline Leaf (a Neuro Scientist) - a scientist who studies the brain intensely says that according to her research and her colleagues research..between 85%-97% of diseases can be linked back to the WAY WE THINK..apparently when we are anxious or fearful, angry or resentful, bitter - all the negative emotions that we hold onto - this causes the brain to secrete a harmful substance that literally drips down into our body and then over time it can make our body sick. The good news is that we can reverse this damage in our brains and our bodies (WITHIN DAYS) simply by facing our fears and forcing our brain to think in a positive manner..when we do this..our brain then actually secretes the good stuff that heals our bodies.. Anyway I found this helpful to keep in front of my mind so that I do feel like I still have some control over my health and is a strong motive to challenge my health anxiety issues.

Im drowning in health anxiety at the moment. It started about a month ago. I've had evolving symptoms. I started off thinking I had some sort of cancer because of a swollen lymph node in my neck and weakness in all my limbs. Four sets of normal bloods then i started having vision problems and the weakness localised to one side so I thought it was a Brain T* and now I'm fixated on the big 3 letters because I've been having speech and swallowing troubles and the weakness has localised to one leg. It really does feel endless but I know I can make it out.
Bro I’ve been going through very similar stuff, had a nasty virus (I think covid) nov 2022 that lasted around a month, ended up with sinus infection and tonsillitis n all that, my anxiety started around then and I got my first anxiety attack towards the end of December, ever since then have had this dizziness (at its worst it was constant but now it’s sort of just an every now and then loss of balance) but had vision problems, loads of new floaters that haven’t gone, my vision just randomly goes out of focus and I’ll need to actively re-focus it, been to spec savers already before the floaters came about and they said all good just astigmatism, got another appointment booked for tomorrow so will see what’s going on, but also have still got a swollen right tonsil due to I think a tonsil stone maybe, but my lymph nodes also haven’t gone down, normal reactive swelling size (1cm) but they feel quite hard and I’m not sure but think they feel like irregular shaped, but getting an ultrasound scan done soon as my GP knows how anxious I’ve been over it, but he says it’s all pointing towards anxiety/health anxiety
Bro commenting after 10 month but you are not alone ...I too went from symptoms of oral cancer to brain to urinary tract in just week ...my brain makes up symptoms of what I see on Google ..😂.
I'm 38 and neck deep in health anxiety. Started with GI issues that lead to Gallbladder removal surgery, which did solve most of those issues. After 5 months of MAJOR stress and anxiety because of the prior, I'm now having severe muscle cramps, twitching and nerve pain all over my body. Especially in my arms, hands and face. I, of course, immediately think it's ALS. Waiting for bloodwork from my Neuro but seems fairly certain it is just anxious manifesting in physical form. My logical brain says anxiety but my anxious mind is convinced I'm going to a die a horrific, early death. Has anyone else faced these kind of symptoms and had it just be from anxiety? I'm feeling incredibly lost and hopeless. I can't keep living life like this.
Symptoms do change and it's a never-ending story lol. Then the ones that were once there also come back to continue the never-ending story. My biggest frustration is I know everything about Somatic Symptom Disorder, yet I can't fully overcome it. It's definitely difficult to live this way.
Thanks for the video! For me , it started with severe headache and went on with muscle tightness, neck congestion, swallowing problems, dizziness and other multiple issues . Still going through some of it . hopefully will be able to manage it
My twitches happen in muscles that have been used recently for the most part. If I go breast stroke swimming, my triceps will twitch for next few days. If I have my foot on a weird ankle for a couple hours in a cool environment, my ankle will twitch for the next couple days. I don’t believe the twitches are random at all. I get them in eyes, probably due to lots of screen time. Question is, why don’t most others get this?
I had loads of twitches after I started running. Then I stopped and they went away but still freaked me out. I kept having a constant twitch in the arch of my left foot, then I developed it in my right foot and it was driving me insane for 3-4 months. Started going to Pilates and my body started twitching again. Around the same time My mum came over and I saw her arch was also twitching - asked her why she never told me, she said she didn’t realise. My arches stopped twitching within a few days after this discovery … my body also stopped twitching after it got used to Pilates. So I think it’s a combination of our brain overreacting and focusing on one thing (which kept my arch going for so long) but also physical activity - especially if you’re not used to it. If it’s in the feet it could come from the Achilles too so stretching helps. Bottom line - normal things, everyone can have twitches, if they don’t focus on them people don’t even realise they have them and then they go away.
I think it's a case of most people do get it. Twitches are normal to some degree as a stress response, you don't need a generalised anxiety disorder like you and me in order to get stressed. Twitches are also normal after exercising a muscle / fatiguing it. Perceived muscle weakness is also a huge symptom. The problem with your health anxiety (and for me) is you will obsess about it, even on a subconscious level. I am watching cherelles videos atm to try and understand my health anxiety, which I've known I've had forever. Because I've gone down the ALS rabbit hole.
Thanks for this advice - I just got over a bunch of worry and this morning I start worrying about something else... This is absurd already! Two week rule - good idea.
Love your videos. Could you maybe do a video on helpful strategies/routines to deal with health anxiety at night before bed? I’m always up at night worrying about my health and the bodily sensations seem so amplified. I’ve heard about other people in the health anxiety community dealing with this too.
I have bad health anxiety and I have been a nervous wreck waiting for my brain MRI. I had sleep hallucinations and head pressure one night and that started a downward spiral and plenty of misdiagnosises for the next three weeks. I have headaches, sinus pressure, and sleep hallucinations and hypnic jerks in sleep and I'm scared. Hopefully this is all just health anxiety and I can get treated for that if the MRI is negative, but until then it will be plenty of waiting and anxiety.
I have the symptom shifting but it always goes back to the beginning. I can have pvcs and heart palpitations and then it goes away for sometimes months and ends up back there
As a healthcare worker myself, it makes it even worse, couse i always think of the worst..😢 i developped panic disorder and gad in april and since then, i completely lost myself……
I vomited once and ignored it mom said lets show to doctor it might be serious as heart attack theennnnn my anxiety starts i got panic attack one day their started stiffness in body chest pain 6 months done heart test normal now got joint pains and pain all over body pain and now i saw swollen lymph nodes in chest second anxiety breast cancer or lymphoma as i saw in Google same symptoms got ultrasound done normal still fearing its lymphoma cuz i have it in stomach too 😢😢😢what is it anxiety aur really lymphoma itching under armpit too
Do you think writing down a daily journal is toxic behavior? Like perhaps it’s better to just not put it out in the universe even if the medium of the writing tries to find the positives?
Anxiety can literally affect our whole bodies if we allow it to. I was told by good doctors in the ER - treat your anxiety FIRST and then assess your body symptoms when in a calm, more logical thinking frame of mind. Hard to do but it is the only way out of the horrible cycle.
Has anybody had tingling in the backmuscles after having tingles and numbness in arms and legs? I'm freaking out and convicing myself more and more I have MS 😭

Please no one say they think I have it
Anxiety can cause a whole myriad of symptoms..includinh tingling (anywhere on body). Dont self diagnose..it will just make your anxiety worse.
Thank you❤️
My mum has severe ms can't move and never had tingling in her back
How are you now?
Thank you ✨
Does anyone else feel like they constantly can’t breathe and have weight loss ?
Weight loss, yes!
Yes. Breathing troubles.. fast breathing and muscle tensions
