Health anxiety is "killing" me

[makeminetwo]

I can't cope any more. I'm convinced I have something wrong and I am going to die. Last night was a bad night, I woke up with pins and needles and then felt like a panic attack with heart racing, sweating. I think the health anxiety is causing physical symptoms; I have stomach ache, diarrhoea, feel like I can't get a deep breath. I don't know what else to do but it's ruining my life. I don't know why I'm posting this but I've been up since 5 and DH and dc are still asleep

You need to tell this to a GP.
Yes, anxiety causes physical symptoms.

I have but she wasn't very helpful - just suggested I self refer for cbt. I was hoping for medication

Then see a different GP and ask to be medicated.

I'll try again at GP
