Hi all
I've had health anxiety since 2017. I've made a couple of posts on here, but right now the past week or so, I've had an intense fear I'm going to have one of the three in the subject title. I'm worried that the anxiety is giving me high blood pressure causing internal damage.
In reality, I'm a 31 y/o male and take diet and exercise seriously. I also take numerous supplements that support heart health and when I can rationalise, reason that overall I'm very healthy, but I can't shake the fear I've got a lot of internal damage. I'm so tempted to try and get a brain mri to put my mind at ease that I've not got a ticking time bomb in my head!
I'm also 13 days into taking citalopram 20mg and to be honest, don't feel any better yet. I also have propranolol which helps with the heart racing and hopefully lowers bp.
Just want to know if anyone else experiences this? It's so debilitating.
