Hey everyone,
My health anxiety has gone crazy over the last few months, I have always been a worrier but since I have started to feel unwell I am completely obsessed by every little feeling I have and now I am worried about my heart constantly. I have a thyroid problem which I am waiting to see a specialist about so haven't had any treatment yet, obviously this is making my health anxiety go through the roof. I just constantly check my pulse to make sure it is still beating and its getting to be really obsessive. I am on beta blockers and tried to reduce the dosage for a few days in case they were having the opposite effect but that has made it worse so going to start taking original dosage of 40mg x2 a day. I just wondered if anyone had any tips on how to convince myself that my heart is ok. I haven't been out the house in since xmas eve because I am so worried about it. It is so stupid but can't get over it and now my family are getting very annoyed with me!
Hope you all had a nice xmas xx
