I have had health anxiety for 30 years so I have so many.
pain in arm or hand - heartattack
tingling in face and left arm - heartattack
pain in leg - blood clot
hard to breath - imminent death or heartattack
feeling something is in my throat or choking me - heartattack
As you can tell I have a fear of heartattack. I've thought alot about if it is really a fear of death and I don't think so. I think it is more a fear of being out of control. If I am sick I can not work which means I will lose my job which means I will lose my house which means I could lose my child and on and on

I agree, what I fear more is being out of control of myself, my fears, and what's happening to me. I am more fearful of not being able to return to being my normal self than of death. I don't want to be this pathetic shadow of my former self.

mine is dizzy feelings
Hi
I started the year thinking I had a brain tumor as I had constant headaches, tinnitus and blurred vision.
I have had hormonal problems which I have thought was due to Ovarian or Uterine cancer.
I am experiencing my 2nd flare up of IBS this year which always has alarming symptoms that make me obsess about bowel cancer.
