Health Anxiety - would you be worried about this?

<< < (3/3)

Bella247:
As a fellow health anxiety sufferer I wanted to send you some solidarity and also advise you not to seek advice on symptoms on the internet. I completely understand why you feel the need but I promise you this won’t make you feel any better.

Try your utmost not to google and if you do only read the NHS website.

I say this with kindness and someone who has wasted years of my life googling and seeking reassurance.

I was convinced I had a brain tumour a few years back and I promise you if you google most symptoms you stumble upon something serious and convince yourself you have whatever it is you’re researching

marge:
Totally agree Bella247. Googling symptoms, though tempting, can cause untold anxiety especially if, like many of us, you have health anxiety. Stick to the NHS or, better still, your GP (if you can get an appointment!)
