Hello doctors, for the longest time, I've had health anxiety- like around 2-3 years. It's particularly bad about cancer as I always fear having it. My fear of cancer was formed when my friend's grandfather died of cancer and one of my favorite YouTubers died of cancer as well. Im especially scared of breast cancer and it's so bad that I cant even wash my chest without feeling scared of touching a lump. I did consult a doctor for a physical check up this year and she said I have no lumps and Im all clear, but the fear still persists. Googling symptoms makes it worse. Please advise what to do
I am having some health anxiety especially cardiophobia with some little mood disorders. I am able to do day to day activities like go outside, move alone, but there is some continuous health anxiety with little mood changes. My psychiatrist diagnosed me GAD with MD and prescribed me Sertraline 25mg then 50 mg, which I am taking. But he also prescribed me antipsychotic Aripriprazole 2 mg with it. I am afraid to take Aripriprazole. Shall I take SSRI only or go with Aripriprazole also.
I was on etilaam pro 20 since a long time so visited a psychiatrist for the same and she prescribed me escimed 5 mg along with etilaam. I took it yesterday but in the mrng around 5 am I felt sweaty and my heart rate was high so got worried and now also while sitting my heart rate got high. What is going on?
I have severe ocd I am talking clomapramine and prodep but I heard it tht it can make people blind I wear chashma for eye sight should I take those medicines
Years of suppression of emotions and telling myself I can do this until my recent failure in employment exams. Family sickness and seperation from a long term partner has led to:
•Cannot walk or lie down for more than 5 minutes. Racing heartbeat, sweating, shaking and shivering
•Complete loss of appetite where I used to eat the most amongst friends and family
•Walking constantly has helped calming me down by some amount but it led to severe leg and back pain
•Feeling cold most of the time but sweating profusely during anxious moments
• Can no longer concentrate on reading/studying
• Cannot sleep really, if I fall asleep due to tiredness I rush up with panic attacks in 15 minutes.
• 1-2 times puking a day
• Some breathing problems even though I am not diagnosed with any lung problems
• I have some traits of neurodivergence (Asperger's syndrome)
• Familiar recreational activities didn't seem to help
