I'm afraid of my health?

If you feel that ill, then go to Emergency right away.  Call 911.  If your chest is hurting that badly then you probably need medical attention. You should not have to fear that you will die and so, then let the medical professional team assist you.\n\nIf you can get through the night, then call a doctor tomorrow and go see him or her on an emergency basis.\n\nWhatever the case, go back to drinking water, not tap water, but good bottled water or spring water.\n\nBeyond that - try to turn your thoughts around to the positive and believe in your body's innate ability to heal itself.  If you believe in God, then pray to God and ask for healing.  If you do not believe in God, then pray for healing anyway because it works, if you believe.\n\nBlessings to you, you are in my prayers and I wish you all the best.  Know that there are people out there who do care and I am one of them.  Good Luck.  I know you will pull through this.

Realize that no one else is as interested in your body as you are, and that almost everyone else has the same phobia (or did at one time).  I was more interested in getting myself clean and out of there than worrying about how anyone else looked - I bet most people are the same way.  If they're not - they're wierd.

Ohhhhh, man.  That is so hard on you.  I have anxiety about that myself but I have learned to overcome it.  Just tell yourself there is nothing to fear (doesn't always work).  My phobia about it simply involves the fact that I feel I cannot breathe because there will be no oxygen.  That is untrue, but that is how I feel.  \nAvoid any closed rooms that do not have a window.  Movie theaters are very difficult.  I have a phobia about catching a cold when I am in a movie theater, so I usually don't go.    \n\nPlease go to a licensed psychologist who can help you overcome this problem.    Best wishes to you.  I am glad you don't have agoraphobia. My friend had that and the doctor put her on medication and made her go to places she was afraid of.  Now she can go anywhere.

You need to check and see if you're a diabetic --  if you're afraid to go to the Doctor, then when you start feeling wierd, EAT SOMETHING!  Try something sweet to bring your blood sugar up.  Lemme know if this helps, okay?

To end those phobias for good, go see a counselor. He or she, will probably refer you to a doc as well and then you'll be prescribed some medications.\nWith medication, counseling and time, I think you'll be fine.

The Health Department may ask to come and test everyone at your work anyway, but don't worry about it unless you start feeling unwell.\n\nhttp://www.angelic1healing.com

As a girl who once suffered (and still is, mentally) through bulimia and anorexia, I know that telling you all of the risks of an eating disorder and scaring you won't work. The fact that you're scared tells me that you're ready to stop suffering needlessly. Because you ARE suffering needlessly; NOBODY deserves this.\n\nPlease, go and see a doctor, tell your parents, tell a friend, tell SOMEONE you trust about your anorexia! They will not blame you, they will not ridicule you, they will not shrink away from you. If you need support or encouragement or ANYTHING, please don't hesitate to use this e-mail: ohthechemistry87@yahoo.com. Tell someone and be safe. You're stronger than anorexia; you can beat it. Believe it.

I have hypochondria, although it is much more mild than yours.  I also have obsessive compulsive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder, which as you can imagine is a pretty bad combination.  The best I can do to keep myself from obsessing baout it is do as much as I can... I use purell like mad, take vitamins and do all that I can to stay healthy.  Also, I make what some might call too many visits to the doctor, but for peace of mind its worth it.  You have to convince yourself though that everything you think about is in your head.

This is a crazy world and there are a lot of very sick people out there. My greatest fear is that something will happen to my children. Whether its kidnapping,murder,rape or any of the other worldly awfuls. I feel like I am constant fear of these things and that I can not protect them enough

I know it might sound a little extreme, but talking to a therapist might help you to understand what causes phobias and why you feel this way, which would make it a lot easier to confront. Hypnotherapy is supposed to be very good, and a therapist would probably be able to refer you to a reputable one.\n\nThe important thing to remember not to feel stupid about your phobia, everyone feels differently about things for a reason, the best thing you can do would be to work out what that reason is, and to try and confront it.\n\nHowever, you will need to take this slowly, don't just jump in a pond full of fish as some people have suggested because this will probably just make your fear worse.Maybe start by watching some fish in a friends tank? then perhaps progress to visiting an aquariam? you wouldn't have to spend all day in there, half an hour would be enough to prove that you can face your fears. \nYou could also try looking at the fish counter at your local supermarket or grocery store, and eventually progress to buying some fish.You wouldn't have to eat the first time, just having the courage to buy the fish and take it home would be a good step.Have you considered trying to eat fish in an unrecognizable form? fishfingers neither look nor taste like fish.Tuna steaks are delicious grilled, and taste meaty, not like fish at all.I hope some of these suggestions help.\n\nSorry, have just read your update and i can see that you do like tuna.This is really good, it shows that you are already one step closer to overcoming your phobia.Just remember to believe in yourself!

You are not alone on this -- books that I have read on this tells me to have a healthy diet and a regular exercise - you have to focus of what you are doing oftentimes when you worry or worry to much it will give you more problems..... if self help is no good . you can buy books on this matter there is really no need for a doctor - there job is to let you feel good anyway.. \n\nGood luck ....

I totally appreciate that intellectually u r convinced that your fear is extremely exaggerated but u just \n"cant help yourself". I have been suffering from OCD for many years.... only about 50% of cases can be cured, and depending on severity, medication usually is taken in addition to cognitive therapy... perhaps your doc an try different medications/doses, aand maybe a combination of more than one medication, especially if you suffer from other illnesses e,g, depression or addiction , etc..\nWhat yr doctors tell you about : "keep my stress level down: sleep as much as i can, take vitamin c, go to the gym to work out stress, breathing excerises, and listening to claming music" is excellent advice. The thing I found however, you must experiment AND perservere for a while. By that I mean try different kinds of excerci8ses e.g. swimming, dancing, running, etc...when i switched from soccer to the gym i enjoyed it alot more, and i usually have the motivation to go. PERSERVERE: I read tens and listened to at least 100 different relaation tapes; i recommend quided imagery tapes with voice and backgroung music, and choose a theme which u personally find appealing (e.g. the sea, forrest etc). I learnt tens of different breathing techniques and I have been doing them for at least 6 years now, and the benifit didnt come before a few years (sorry about that!). keep yr stress down: my be you have to change your job, improve yr social life ( i found that especially helpful).\nIt is of great value to have a partner or family, maybe get married (but be careful that could turn into a major stressor if the relationsghip is unhealthy). Are u religeous or spiritual? if so persuie that avenue whether it is going to church, a mosque or whatever, it doesnt really matter what religion ...\nConcentrate on cognitivem behavioral techniques ( with help from yr doctor) and practice practice practice,,,...\nI can suggest one more thing: is there an activity whether job or hobby u have always tried to pursue but never got round to it? start doing whatever it is whatever makes u feel at peace, and do more of it...\nI hope this is helpful..good luck

If it's really bad, you could talk to your doctor and he could give you something to take the edge off. I'm not really sure how I do it. I just take a long deep breath, and just do it, like pretending that I'm not afraid at all. After a while, I don't have to pretend anymore.
