I am so pleased that I found this site!!
I suffer with health anxiety which is really starting to impact on day to day life. My current worry is my heart, which has been checked, as it doesn't feel right (but I can't explain how?). I have worried about pretty much every illness going and feel that I am now in a cycle I can't get out of. GP has prescribed Propranolol which slows my heart down nicely, also. Prescribed Sertraline which I haven't collected yet from Pharmacy. My dad died suddenly from a stroke in 2014 (the healthiest man I knew!), my sister had cervical cancer aged 34 (all fine now), so I am constantly googling symptoms etc....it is so exhausting!!
I'm also a mental health nurse and health visitor so I know that I do everything I tell my families not to regarding anxiety!!
Anyway, I have appt at GP today to try and get to bottom of it (if I hadmy way I'd request mri, ecg, bloods but I think she'll do bp!)
So this was just to say hi, hope everyone has a safe day x
