Hey
I'm new to the forum. I've been suffering from health anxiety for over a year now due to a pre existing heart condition I have called SVT. I have been told my condition is non life threatening but still continue to worry about it.
Since my last episode around a year ago, I have sufferd from terrible fatigue, loss of appetite and constant nervousness in social situations. I feel that my heath anxiety is getting worse as I keep jumping from one thing to another.
I have recenty been to see a chiropractor who told me he could help with the my anxiety and tension in my head, stomach etc... He done a few pressure point techniques and cracked my neck which has seemed to relieve a lot of the tension.
Unfortunately as soon as I got home I googled the technique he had done and found numerous stoires in which young people have suffered strokes following the neck cracking technique. This has sent my anxiety into overdrive and now I feel contsantly on edge and feel as though I am waiting for something terrible to happen. I have decided to stop attending the chiropractors due to this fear. Just wondering if anyone can reassure me the procedure is safe and give any advice on the ways to combat this terrible anxiety condition?
Thanks, James :)
