Always suspecting you're sick? It could be hypochondria or anxiety playing a role

I sometimes think about death but don't really want to end my life, instead I'm more eager to live well, and this ambivalence has me stumped.

Often fantasize about having an incurable disease and worry that they will pass away because they can't be saved.

Some time ago, I always had unexplained difficulty breathing, panic attacks, shaky hands and numb legs.

So I went to the hospital and had an MRI, which showed mild cervical spondylosis, but the doctor said it wasn't serious.

Today, I had another sudden attack of panic and shortness of breath, and I don't know what's going on.

I found out online that if you keep fantasizing about being sick, your brain may have a corresponding physiological response as if you were really sick.

I also have trouble sleeping at night, often waking up with nightmares or fears.

I also suspected I was depressed, but the self-tests showed no depression.

If you are constantly worried that you are sick, it could be a sign of hypochondria. This condition is often caused by too much psychological stress or anxiety. Physical discomforts like panic, breathlessness, shaking hands and numbness in the legs are likely to be somatization symptoms of anxiety. If you are muttering in your mind about whether you are depressed, it is best to go to a psychiatrist or psychologist for a professional evaluation, rather than relying on self-tests alone to draw conclusions. At the same time, it is recommended to find a psychological counselor to do channeling to help relieve anxiety and suspicion.
