How to STOP Health Anxiety Symptoms.. Anxiety Guy🤫

- Health anxiety, also known as illness anxiety disorder or hypochondriasis, is a condition in which a person experiences excessive worry and fear about their health. It can manifest as a preoccupation with symptoms or a fear of developing a serious illness, even in the absence of any medical evidence to support such concerns.
Taking action on health anxiety is important because it can significantly affect a person's quality of life, causing distress, disruption of daily activities, and unnecessary healthcare utilization. Furthermore, if left untreated, health anxiety may lead to the development of other mental health conditions such as depression and may even worsen physical health outcomes due to excessive worry and stress.

What are your qualifications? Thanks.
I feel like I went through the learning stages in health anxiety where it was pure hell and suffering, but then I eventually learned and then quit going to e.r. and quit googling symptoms and illnesses and quit acting like a victim and started facing these irrational fears, and started ignoring the symptoms, and slowly but surely the symptoms started to fade. We can all get our lives back if we keep working on it and learning, and not repeating the same mistakes over and over. 😊
That's what im doing if i feel that fear or pain tingles i just put back of my head and continue on with my day and it auctally helps tbh im still not out of the woods yet but its slowly but hopefully surely it will go away but another bad one is if your tired lack of sleep can make it worse
Take care and all the best 😊💪
@ALDO RFC ( ALWAYS A GER) yep. Lack of sleep certainly doesn't help at all. There's just certain things that stress your body and mind and can trigger it. Glad your getting better too
I just read your comment and feeling better 😌
These symptoms are crazy, but I'm working on it everyday including lots of walking.
Literally going through this phase right now, googling everything I feel does NOT help!
It’s crazy how one tiny symptom can spiral into panic. I woke up at 3 am feeling anxious and then it felt like my foot was tingly and then I got a headache and I’ve been scared I’m going to get sick for the last 4 hours. I feel my depression getting worse again which makes my body feel bad which then gives me anxiety and panic attacks. To the point I cant even sit down no matter how exhausted I am. I need freedom from this anxiety monster
Stay strong out there ❤️
Yes that's how it felt, I'm worried that if I set down I'll be dead.
We are strong may we get better and better everyday big hugs. ❤❤❤
Yeah I can relate. I do the same thing, wake up middle of night with one tiny symptom and sometimes it snowballs into 3 or 4 symptoms and a rough night. Sometimes I'm able to save it though and get it together
That just happened to me.
I stopped googling any symptom or pain after your program. I still have more work but it's one of the things that I am pround of as it isn't easy.
Keep up the progress built up from the program.
Is it disappeared by now?
Which one the symptoms or anxiety? I did his 'health anxiety program that is based more for people who chase symptoms and or have panic attacks
... I would go to the Dr for Every symptoms. So that program helped me lot with panic attacks and to STOP googling.... and that symptom would stop and I would get another and another... so I cut imagine if I was still would focus on each symptom. The bottom line is that your b ody has symptoms and or sensations and I learned 'that's ok' so then now I started his general anxiety but still half way through.... that program in general is SO good !!! So much value ..... I just had to stop for a move .... but I need to continue.
I wish I was as lucky as you! I continue to suffer from it 😢
I didn’t have hypochondria until I got on social media & seen people saying they felt fine & had 0 symptoms & found out randomly they had stage 4 lung cancer. People posting they had a headache for a few days & it was actually a brain aneurysm. My brain thinks “better safe than sorry”. I go to the doctor over minor shit often bc you never know.
EXACTLY OMG…. U know… what if
Pro tip for health anxiety:- never Google your health problems to find out its etiology, I said never , it's a hidden killer .
Valuable feedback for health anxiety thank you.
I’m struggling so much with health anxiety right now. It’s the worst it’s ever been because of symptoms I’m experiencing. I feel very isolated and in a constant state of panic because of my fear.
Same. It’s very debilitating!
Same 💔 it’s so debilitating … hope u are feeling better
I feel exactly the same I think I have serious conditions or see other people with them and then worry I have the symptoms and then start to give myself the symptoms but I’m getting there to anxiety free and I’m trying my best ❤😮
@@luciaconneelyyI keep struggling to get to sleep as I feel as if my throat will close up or that I can swallow/ breathe but I’m slowly getting better from my health anxiety, let’s do this 🙏
@@aabb-kf9xm it affects everyone in different ways just stay strong and try you’re best you’re not alone ❤️🩹!
Dennis’ perspective and tutorials were key to me overcoming anxiety symptoms. I was in the abyss with little hope. Incrementally I made subtle changes and challenged myself in uncomfortable situations to be a better me
I’m currently dealing with this right now and it just shows me how bad my anxiety really is
So much truth spoken in a short video. So relatable. Thx Dennis , as always excellent reminder..
Very welcome friend.
I totally agree! My mom had psychiatric problems which Led to physical symptoms. That led to all sorts of illnesses etc. I've been using natural remedies for long time.
It helps me greatly ... I have very bad allergies and sometimes I get lightheaded for a few seconds when I sneeze ... then I go into panic mode that this dizziness is permanent and I won’t be able to live my life and everyone will abandon me but I remind myself it just my allergies and the hay ever will pass ... and I’m very healthy
Hope this channel can guide you.
Yes, anxiety always stems from a thought whether we're aware of it or not.
I recovered from your program - what a journey after trying everything I wish I found you 12 years sooner
As im lying here with trapped wind convincing myself ive got bowel cancer ( i am a breast cancer survivor)
You will survive again, and thrive.
I had mine under control then I had a miscarriage and now my health anxiety is related to the cardiovascular system. 🤦 I am permanently dizzy, heart racing on/off in the day and feel so nauseous I can't eat. I am now not sleeping at night from fear of dying in my sleep. I'm literally fed up of this fucking negative narrative.
I know. So destructive. Expecting a stroke and brain tumour every day.
I have similar panic. Praying we both can get this to resolve!
I have had the same fear for 7 months. I get dizzy and lightheaded thinking I have a heart issue or stroke. My jaw and neck are full of tension and I’m dizzy on and off all day. I feel week and it’s non stop. I need this to stop
I seem to be fine and then the afternoon comes and it starts and seems to die down at late night. Currently having this anxiety as I write this I hate it
Omg. My symptoms are related you
Accept them for what they are. When they switch up accept them too. Your mind will determine that you will accept whatever comes along and they will fade. The hardest part is accepting initially.
my brain does not work that way. i have a headache then think its something wrong decide to say nothing and think "this is the time it will be something cuz i said nothing"
That's not really thinking though, that's an intrusive idea coming from the frantic side of you that's the least informed. Real thinking is consciously coming up with an interpretation to what it is you're experiencing now, in the present based on facts.
This is exactly how I feel. The days that I don’t act or say anything my brain tells me… this is the time something will happen because I didn’t say anything 🥹
I agree but however tonight I woke up out of a dead sleep thinking I was having an actual heart attack, i called 911 and everything. And I’m a veteran when it comes to dealing with Anxiety. I have 3 daughters im a single mother and I work at a cat dealership. My eyes were burning i could feel my heart beating in my ears, i felt like I was going to explode. Ran right outside bc I didn’t know what to do. Was scared I was alone but happy my kids were not here tonight at the same time.
Sorry to hear this, many of us will be able to relate to such an experience.
I relate! It’s so difficult to deal with and manage!
The problem is for me im experiencing extreme stomach issues. Rumbling, constipation, gas, never feeling full and then i eat more and thus i feel that i need to do something about it to make it stop other than just accepting it or it will never go away. Doctors say i might have ibs but they are not sure until i get it checked. Not fun at all feeling sick daily for no apparent reason
I'm sorry to hear. My IBS and gastrointestinal problems left at the same time my nervousness about upcoming events dissipated, something to consider.
It's anxiety related..I have it too..let the symptoms fade slowly..tc
Ibs due to stress is absolutely debilitating. I've suffered over 30 years with it. The only thing which helps is mental distraction
but how do you know if you have ibs due to stress or whether you have anxiety due to ibs if that makes sense
Though googling your symptoms might not be right. But health anxiety in today’s generation is helpful.
Rather if you careless, it can be bad.
I cannot explain you, that how many times my health anxiety protected me from major stuffs.
It’s not really that I get symptoms it’s just in constant fear like aneurysm going to blow my brain up
Let this channel be your guide.
i overdosed 1 year ago and now i am constantly worrying about my health
Ahhh fr
Same here man 😢
So true. I thought I was dying 10 times today.
Omg me too this is so serious but funny hearing it from someone else
This sums it up perfectly.
Much love.
Ok, with your anxiety in the past did you come to situations of heart palpitations and skipped beats out of nowhere or during stressful times
Hi Dennis- ,I am getting kinda major back surgery. I was wondering which video can help me to stop projecting and live in the now. You look great.
I still can't believe that happend to me and seen videos like this its somthink I never want to experience again.
I was fighting by my own fear lord help me
Perfect!
Yes!!!
I.m having problems with anciety for 2.5 years,now i have 1 month my anxiety came back and sometimes i feel something in my left arm and this make me feel panick attacks
Do you do 1.1 therapy for health anxiety?
Thank you !
So very welcome
I got back on feeling anxiety because of the test of my sgpt and alt elevated started to think about worse things. And thinking and did a lot of test like hepa thinking of ultrasound and other stuff😢
Has anyone observed a correlation to ADHD and the cognitive over-attention patterns? I’m thinking this may be a major component to what drives the relentless hyperfixation patterns.
Bro I think this somehow is true
Great ❤
If anything is off, I always want to know why? Why all the time. I need answers always. It annoys myself because i realize what im doing but i cant fix it.
Thanks bro
U are amazing
I am just exhausted with everything..
A dysregulated nervous system can be the cause yes
Hey i really appreciate ur vidoes they helped me alot accepting my heart anxiety: after applying the acceptance and allowing the adrenaline passing through me without reacting after its gone sometimes i feel so calm and no heart palpitations as if my heart isnt beating which scares me and cause the anxiety to come
Back again is that normal feeling and what should i do when i feel this calm and feeling like my heart isnt beating and i have thoughs as if im weak and my heart muscle is weak and it gonna stop even though all tesults came back very good please I appreciate ur help
Very welcome it's good to hear about your anxiety progress, not easy but we will get there :)
Appreciate ur reply! Is it common for people in there recovery process to be anxious when they are in calm state and no symptoms like heart palpitations and stomach butterflies?
Thank you for this explanation. I badly need this reminder. For my anxiety is basically eating me too much.
Dennis I was getting some strange symptoms for a few months now they happen less but im always thinking they will come back ....BTW i still have other symptoms too
Looking over your shoulder to see if it will all come back connects to a fear of moving forward, or a undeservedness deep within. You can do this.
@@TheAnxietyGuy1 thank u
What if your health anxiety is caused by wor
your chronic illness? Example i get diverticulitis 2x year my mom died from bowel surgery
What can I do if I have health anxiety for alzheimer's? It's so hard for me to get over it because I correlate being well again to the phase of the disease where the patient remembers everything.
I have just mild simple cyst on my epidymistis and dr say your are absolutely fine Bt my mind constantly thinking about this cyst and searching on Google and you do in there always negative I don’t know what to do
You now know what doesn't work, and the key into begin replacing these unhelpful habits with helpful ones, ones that build trust in your good health.
Help me i am always Google my head forehead tight i am feel become anxious of that what should i do pls my father passed away recently and comments pls😢😢
Hi. I don't know if this helps at all, but my mom passed away recently and my body has been going haywire. LOTS of new pains, issues, and a worsening of existing problems. My doctor explained to me that grief takes a very heavy toll on the body, and it is not unusual for these things to happen in the first year of grieving as you learn to adapt to the new life without your loved one. They will pass, and you will learn to go through life with less physical and emotional pain. I'm going through the same thing as you. Hang in there. I'm sorry for your loss. The symptoms of your body won't last forever. Do what you can to relax and take care of yourself.
im like this 😢😢
i have this bad and it all started when i made coffee at my friends house and he drinks strong coffee which i forgot about and i got a bad caffeine rush and i've never had an anxiety problem before this but my arms and legs went numb from all the worry so i immediately assumed "heart attack" and "it's the end, it's about to happen" and ever since then my health anxiety has gotten worse, and i make the mistake of using google for answers and i'll assume any small thing is a heart problem and it tics my anxiety, and just somebody talking about a health problem triggers it, im only 14 and its really starting to effect my grades cuz im constantly scared of something happening cuz i'm scared of death, and i'll keep going to the school counselor to take a walk and talk with her cuz she's dealt with the same thing, and talking about it really helps me and ik im not alone but i feel like i am, if anyone has tips or wants to share anything i'm 100% free, we will overcome this and kick anxiety's ass trust me, YOU ARE NOT ALONE 💪
I’m going through this these days , if you ignore and slowly accept this state it kinda goes away , don’t stress if it comes back , it’s nutural
What if it’s health anxiety over something going on like an external hemorrhoid that’s causing tons of weird pain 😑😑
I’d get it checked out, if all clear begin working on the mind body connection to the pain.
Google is your best enemy on this
It is all the amygdala.
meeeee😅😅😅
