Re: HA is a strange thing
It's probably because a sliced finger is not seen as life-threatening by you. Whereas something like chest tightness on the other hand...
Re: HA is a strange thing
Oh yes.. there can only be one reason for chest tightness, the worst reason possible!
Re: HA is a strange thing
Yes I agree. Last summer I fell badly over/into a pothole and damaged my ankle badly. Never ay any point was I scared because I knew exactly what it was. For my, HA is about lack of control, the unknown and the vagueness over medical tests. That and the fact that when they test you for 1 thing, they find you've got a few other things (this has happened to me recently).
Re: HA is a strange thing
It really is the oddest thing...last year I had ms..utterly convinced..then it was heart problems..utterly convinced...now its hiv...I had all the symptoms of them all!!! No doubt in a few weeks it will be something else..and bizarrely this reassures me...if I can convince myself so strongly that I have a condition and then it can be replaced by another so quickly it proves to me how powerful this anxiety stuff is..
