[^]Alright people? well this last year I fell like ive been going through hell. But from lookin through this site I think ive realised ive got a health anxiety prob or HAVE I!!!! OR IS IT more serious!!! thats been my train of though for the past year. From probs with my throat to headaches and this this week its my breathing, my chest is tight I cant get adeep breathe, ive even been on the fone to the doc whos said its anxiety but the fact that im a smoker makes me worry even more is it anxiety or something more serious and the more i worry the worse it gets. AArgh this is doin my head in so much if anyone as had the same kind of thing id really like to hear from you.:D

I have had it so many times in the past but still convince myself i am ill and when this goes you will find you will just find another symtom to worry you. take care Vernon

Hi Cam

Welcome to the forum.

Have a read of the article about Health Anxiety (http://www.nomorepanic.co.uk/default.asp?t=cms&c=healthanxiety) on the home page.

Hi Cam,
Welcome to the forum, i can relate to what you are saying, i was exactly the same. I did a CBT course on health anxiety and it turned my way of thinking around, i have now realised that it is all just the anxiety that does this to us, and now i dont worry about it anymore.
Ask your doctor about doing a CBT course, they are great.
Take care

Hi Cam

Welcome to the site. You are not alone in how you feel and it does sound like anxiety to me that leads you to worry about your health issues.

Hi Cam,

Health anxiety needs a several pronged attack on it as symptoms change as you get through one.

Feeling you're short of breath is a very common anxiety trait.

Keep telling yourself that you're breathing just fine..

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.

Hi Cam and welcome.
A lot of us here have the breathing thing. I describe it as sometimes a stuck in my throat, sometimes I can't get a deep breath thing. Mine has a lot to to with tension. If I am tense I can almost feel my throat constrict(sp).
There are alot of posts on this subject that helped me to feel like at least I am not alone in this. Just browse through and see what you think. :)
