Suffering with terrible health anxiety today. I've suffered on an off for 5 years since DD5 was born, and I was on Sertraline for a period of time which did work, but I came off it in February this year because I felt in a lot better place. I've also had CBT previously.
My health anxiety has ranged from lumps and bumps, to cancer, to a brain tumour, to heart problems. Today my worries over an imminent heart attack are back. It started last night and now it's still here, and I feel like I'm getting little pains (like muscular pains) in one particular spot on the left hand side of my chest, and I'm literally imagining the worst. I've even been jumping up and down to raise my heart rate to convince myself that I am fine!
I'm having a lovely day with my dmum and two DDs, and I'm just so incredibly annoyed I'm letting it win again. I was doing so, so well, and I don't even know what's triggering it, but now I feel so teary and anxious
