There are many reasons a person could feel like this. You may just be generally run down, or pregnant, or diabetic, or thyroid trouble........... the list is endless.\nVisit your doctor who will run some tests and put your mind at ease.\n\nHope you feel better soon.

Listen Honey, you have to go to a Doctor. They have medication for this type of thing. You are most likely suffering severe depression and an anxiety disorder which you seemed to have already figured out. You need medication and possibly therapy. There is nothing at all wrong in seeking help. It doesn't mean that you're crazy. If you were crazy, you wouldn't know that anything was wrong with you in the first place. You're not ready for the "foil hat squad" so don't feel that way. Once the medication balances you out, you'll feel much better and things will appear much brighter. Go now and find a Doctor. Good luck. :)

Go to the doctors and explain to them that you may think you have these things and tell them what symtoms you have that make you think this way and they may try and tell you its not what you think but then just tell them to test you for them anyways so then you can relax and know for sure =)

Many  people experience what  your going through, but not many people talk about it.\n Back in  olden times they  called your experience a "night Hag" That paralyzing feeling caused  by "Her sitting on your body and  holding you down"  \nIt's a  thing of child hood past... not many people talk about that theory anymore, although it is in  some books!\n\nNow, as far as going to a Dr.  It may be a good Idea to talk to him..he might want to do  some tests, but most likely he will tell you it's normal and to not worry about it..it happens to everyone..I've had it happen many times!! It is not a fun experience..usually it will go away right away.. the longest  one i have had is like  a few minutes actually!!! THAT WAS AWFUL!!! \n\nwhen it happens to me it's helpful to relax and stay calm.. i  usually imagine my self "fighting it off" and that  usually works.   try moving your upper body  before anything else that has always seemed to help me out too.  if anything talk to your Dr. if you feel necessary..then try looking it up and doing a little research  who knows what  you might find!!

There is no cure for hypochondria because it is a psychological issue (just like OCD). You should seek a counselor who specializes in there feilds. OCD is sometimes connected to hypochondria but so is paranoia. Good luck.

It would be better if you take life as it is. This had happened to me : I would always feel that somebody is always watching me and I got to behave nicely always. But the truth is that, its my own self-thinking. I had wondered always what would others think about me... But have come to know now that world is like this and we got to go forward whatever we meet.\n\nI think you are worried about everything. Try thinking over what makes you worried. Try to stop gradually the activites which makes you worried. If necessary, you may go to a psychiatrist. There is really nothing wrong in going to such a doctor. I know by experience that its better to approach such doctors when needed. \n\n\nAfter everything, I will pray for you.

NO ONE here can diagnose you.  You need to see a doctor.  Only a doctor who has examined you and ran tests can tell you what is going on.  Please schedule an appointment and address all your issues with your doctor.

Dear frnd, u need some relaxation for that u need to do is practise yoga or meditation. U r also undergoing fobia for unwanted reasons u take tensions n make the issues bigger.  The only solution is listen good music, do something which u r interested in the most, go out with frienz, practise yoga n take good diet.  These all will help u to keep ur body and mind constant and be happy.  After doing all these if u still feel disturbed better to consult a good psychiatrist.

I have that alot... Its from stress, smoking, and not taking care of ur self. Heres something that u should try. I do it maybe 3 times a day. Go to a quite spot. Either your room, under a tree, where ever u are comfy at. Sit indian style and take your right hand and wrap it under your left wrist. Grip it until u feel your heart beat with 2 fingers. Close your eyes and consentrate on that heart beat. Dont think any bad things. Think of things that are peacful to YOU! Do that for 3-5 mins. then stop thinking and put your mind on your heart beating. Now think of your heart beat slowing down. By doing this u can slow your heart rate down enough so that u will be okay. Make sure that during the day you are drinking enough water... if u dont like water drink tea but the idea is to not have so much Caffine. It sounds like u might have Anxiety attacks and those are no fun some doctors try to give medicine for it but I dont take meds of ANY kind and never have. I have learned how to handle it. Try also taking time out for YOU every day. that means Alone... take a walk, pray, read, do whatever u like to do. I like to paint or do art. Find something that u enjoy doing and do it alone. If your problem get worse tho, u might wanna do see a doctor if ur into that kinda stuff.Personally Im not... but thats just me. Good Luck and I hope you feel better.

First thing first. Consult the doctor. If its psychosomatic, conscious relaxation will help. Keeping one self bussy and cheerful is better start to work towards mental health.

Have you had any panic attacks? \n-Sweating\n-Shaking\n-Racing thoughts\n-Choking feeling\n-Trouble breathing\n-Racing heart beat\n\nYou might...talk to your doctor about it.  If you feel constantly in anxeity there could be a deeper root or you could be developing or have anxeity disorder.  Call your doctor and talk to him about it

It IS hypochondria. Take this test to see if you have it:\nhttp://www.uib.no/med/avd/med_a/gastro/wilhelms/whiteley.html\n\nPsychosomatic refers to physical or physiologic manifestations of emotional or psychiatric problems. For example, if you are stressed out, you may respond with headaches, or feel like you are having trouble breathing. Its not exactly known what causes psychosomatic disorders but seems to be that psychological stressors become internalized and then get expressed in physical disorders.

I don't believe that you're doing this for attention, this must be a very frightening situation for you.  You definitely need to see a Doctor.\n\nI studied a lot of Psychology in college, and I remember hearing about this kind of problem.  I found some links that I hope might be helpful:\n\nhttp://www.behavenet.com/capsules/disorders/somatoformdis.htm\nhttp://www.behavenet.com/capsules/disorders/paindisorder.htm\nhttp://www.behavenet.com/capsules/disorders/somatizationdis.htm\nhttp://www.behavenet.com/capsules/disorders/undsomatoformdis.htm\nhttp://www.behavenet.com/capsules/disorders/ptsd.htm\n\nThe best thing you can do for yourself is go see a doctor, if you haven't already.  You're not alone, this is not an uncommon problem.  Most people just don't have the courage to come forward like you did.\n\nI hope this helps, and I hope you will seek treatment.  You deserve it.\n\n******MODIFIED:\nI talked to a friend of mine tonight who is a Psychologist.  She disagreed with what I had thought (somatoform or PTSD).  She says it does sound like possible hypochondria.  \nA lot of people don't know what hypochondria REALLY is- it's NOT an attempt to get attention or laziness, like many people think.  It is a real fear of death, and can involve delusions of illness & dying.  \nBut again, it is very important for you to go to a Doctor to get a professional opinion.  He/she can tell you much more.\nIf it makes you feel better, I went through something similar when I was 16, I was having these excrutiating lower abdominal pains. I was in the hospital a lot, I went through TONS of test/x-rays/ultrasounds, even surgery!  Turns out it was psychological, I had imagined it all.  I was humiliated for a long time, but then when I found out more, and learned that this kind of thing is fairly common, I felt better.\nI really hope this helps, and that you'll see a Doctor and feel better!  Take care:))

See your doctor!  You could be reacting to something you eat.  \n"Or" you could have an internal infection in one of your organs, one of your organs could be compromised!\n\nGO AND SEE YOUR DOCTOR!!!!
