I suffer bad health anxiety.

Since I had an appendix scare last November, I suffer with health anxiety (hypochondriac). And since December when I started on antidepressants (Mirtazepine). I started having breathing worries and since towards the end of March this year. I started feeling my heartbeat more when I lie down or sit down. So I told my doctor about it and he told me to stop taking my antidepressants, just to see if the tablet had anything to do with it. But I went to the doctors yesterday and he checked my heart and my oxygen levels and it was normal. But I am not convinced. What do I do?

Hi Jamesy,

So, your 'symptoms' has your GP put them down to anxiety ?

Yes he has, they all do this.

This site is very quiet.

Hiyer, not many people come to the 'introduce yourself' section I'm afraid, its so very very busy on all the other pages - if you have any queries or things you'd like responses to then chose another page I'd suggest. :)
