I am new here. I have had health anxiety for about 8 years now off and on mostly heart related went through so many tests got word I have a normal healthy heart all my blood tests came back normal.
The one thing that drives me crazy is I start feeling like I am over it, but instead of carrying on I can't help but think when is my heart going to race again, when am I going to be conscious of my breathing and so on.
Like for the last couple of weeks I have been having this dizzy feeling, vertigo, and I'll think to myself man I haven't felt any vertigo in a few hours it must be coming soon I just know it and sure enough the longer I think about it and focus on it I get a wave of vertigo and dizziness. If I keep busy it's pretty much nonexistent or if I am talking to someone, but if I am by myself I can't stop thinking about it which makes it happen.
I thought I had my health anxiety under control but about 6 weeks ago I got some heart palpitations and then it started racing. That lasted a week, then I got headaches and I stressed and worried about that. The headaches went pretty much away but I am left with these random moments of vertigo. Today and yesterday have been the best not much at all and I want to believe I am getting over it but I just can't stop waiting for it to happen again (which is making it happen again) because like I am sure many of you know and deal with it's hard to believe anxiety can make physical symptoms feel so damn real.
