Hello I am new here and have a health anxiety disorder and panic attacks, I used to have palpitations and a racing heart for hours and think I was having a heart attack I now know this was anxiety and panic after ending up in hospital on more than one occasion. After a bout of medication all my symptoms went away for 10months but now they have come back.
This time I am focusing on the veins in my hands it’s really strange. I feel I have to keep checking them the more I look at them the worse I feel even though deep down I know they are ok. I wondered if anybody else had this, as after reading about OCD I was thinking maybe I have OCD as well because of the constant checking of my hands. Or is this also just a symptom of anxiety. It feels like I concurred one problem only for another to start.
