Re: What (do you believe) triggered your HA?
I've had OCD from a child and I believe my OCD started my HA. Even as a child I was very aware of my health and would panic thinking I had this, that and the next thing even from the age of about 6 or 7 and I would constantly check myself to make sure I was ok and analyze every symptom. My papa was always ill as well and my gran was a worry wart with her health and that rubbed off on me too but I think my OCD was the first and biggest trigger.
