I'd never heard of health anxiety before I came to this site! I'm a 31 year old female and started having pins & needles in left arm, leg and face, jerking muscles, dizziness, tiredness and even though i've been to dr. for tests (still waiting for results) he didn't once suggest it might be anxiety. I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing! BUt even though i've been having this for over a month and generally feel pretty bad, i haven't been rushed to hospital yet so I'm thinking health anxiety might be the answer. But still I'm having the symptoms, even as I'm typing this I'm dizzy and secretly freaking out and stroke/brain tumour/ms. Shouldn't coming to terms with anxiety calm down my symptoms? Of course it's mainly when I'm alone I feel like this, I'm afriad I'll pass out in my flat by myself and no-one will find me for days!
All this is very scary as I'm usually a fairly confident, independant person but for the last month i've been avoiding being alone as much as possible, avoiding new situations or travelling very far as i feel i can cope with it. Oh dear, I need help don't I....
