Does anyone else find that every day they experience a sensation that at the time you are convinced is catastrophic in some way?
To give you some examples of my last few days,
Heart palpitations/runs of skipped/fast beats - sudden death
Chest aches, pains and twinges - heart attack
Shooting head pains - aneurysm, stroke, tumour
Shortness of breath - collapsed lung, pulmonary edema, heart attack, lung cancer
Heartburn/upper stomach pains - stomach cancer.
For everything else in life I'm reasonable and intelligent - for my health I don't reason, I jump to conclusions and I catastrophise.
When I'm having the shooting head pains im not having the chest pains, and vice versa.
Could it REALLY all be anxiety? Could this be why I feel ill with something or other MOST of the time?
I can't break the cycle. I keep thinking I have done but then relapse.
