Welcome, playman.

I know that death causes many people to begin having health anxiety. When my grandmother died suddenly years ago from an aneurysm, I began thinking that I was going to have an aneurysm as well.

Since your mother died when you were so young, most likely you carried that fear with you (perhaps subconciously) for many many years, and then when your father dies it all came rushing to the surface.

I have suffered health anxiety, and panic for almost 28 years, so if you ever need to, feel free to PM me.

Sorry for your loss.

Hi again playman. I suffer with a heart phobia since my grandmother and uncle died because of a coronary thrombosis, Then my brother had one at age 46 but survived thankfully. Ive also suffered with ectopic heartbeats off and on since my 20s, but every test ive had since then has shown up as normal. I live with it but its not easy sometimes.

At the moment im in 'remission' lol! and don't know how long it will be before they come back to haunt me, but as the years have gone on, although still uncomfortable for me, the fear of them has grown less. Also through talking to people on this forum has helped with this so much, I didnt realise how many felt the same way.

Hope we can help you too
Best wishes
