Always anxious about health problems

2018-11-14 08:33:56
I am always anxious about my health problems. Whenever something is wrong with my body I tend to freak out. Anxiety ends up making symptoms worse. What should I do about my anxiety? Is there any therapy that can be done for this type of anxiety?
