why do i always think

Post Reply New Topic

i'm going to have a heart attack? or a deadly bloodclot in my heart that will kill me? i know people with anxiety get stuff like this but it isnt anxiety. i havent been really anxiious in a long long time. is it something else? does anyone else get this who doesnt have anxiety?

Yeah, I am bad like that too. I was really tired and hungry the other night, only about 2 hours after dinner, and my brother in law goes "you may have diabetes" so of course, I was convinced for 2 days I may be diabetic. Every little headache I think will turn into a clot or something, every ache means something horrible is wrong.

Someone might say they don't have anxiety when they do. I don't know if this is related to you but if you hyperventilate you sometime feel like you are going to have a heart attack. Also if your ill an your potassium is low you are more likely to damage your heart. It is possible to have a heart attack though anxiety, but you have to be physically unfit with a tendency toward heart problems. Also you could have a heat attack if your extremities freeze. Like if your try to swim through freezing cold water.

I always think there's something wrong with my heart at night. I don't know if it's anxiety though because I'm usually not that anxious at night though. Sometimes my heart feels like it beats too many times really fast or something though. So I'm pretty sure there is something wrong with it. I hope not though.
Then again I get paranoid about a lot of things, I thought I was going blind a couple of weeks ago, but I'm not.

could it another possible obsession....looking to find anwsers to what may be wrong...i think its an aspie tendency to want to figure ourselves out, thus giving off a bit of a hypocondriatic appeal

Sometimes after I really punish myself on the exercising I start to think about how close I was to giving myself a heart attack. It can happen.

Since I was about 16 I've always had this, well, I'm not sure what to call it, premonition, feeling, something like that, that I will be dead before I am 30. It's hard to explain.

Your fear about a pulmonary disorder is hard to describe as anything other than anxiety, unless you have some credible evidence that would suggest you're likely to have such an event. Fear of negative outcomes is the essence of anxiety. Anxiety is a bit slippery, as it doesn't always manifest the same way.

Do you have beliefs in future events transpiring that aren't bad?

I used to have similar concerns, as well as persistant fears of impeding nuclear attacks. Medication largely eliminated them, but I still have the occasional runaway fear. Just last week I felt a tightness in my chest after exercising, and became afraid that I was having a heart attack. Part of me knew that that was irrational, though, and I concentrated on breathing and thinking about something else until it went away.

Of course, it's not paranoia if they're really out to get you. have you had a physical lately? How old are you?

yeah - it fits me. everytime I have the tiniest symptom I'm researching any and all possibilities for hours and sometimes days trying to figure it out.. and a few times was convinced I was very seriously ill when I wasn't.

its not anxiety/ i really dont know how else to explain it. the only thing that it feels like is when i was little i use to calculate the days my mother had left to live at the current time of whatever year it was.
