ruminating about things

[jothenurse]

Does anyone else do this? I may one day just worry/analyze my palpitations, and then the next day I'll focus on my stomach being gaggy, then I move onto my feelings of unreality, then to the fear of fainting. Do others do this? It seems like I finally get through one thing, then I focus on another symptom. Then it starts over again on a symptom that I thought I had "accepted." It makes you not want to do anything - just focus in on symptoms all the time.
Anything help with this?

i definitely do that, constantly go round in circles of symtoms. i usually just try and work on relaxing and remind myself that its all in my head. although another one iv came across recently and find is working is accepting the symptom, tell myself if im going to die from my throat closing over, or a brain tumour or whatever is currently in my head then its going to happen and i may as well accept it. the pills the doc gave me to relax also help
