This is so stupid!!!In 52 years I have never ever worried about my heart ,or the little weird feelings that you get with your body from time to time.I am not ocd .I checked and dont have the symptoms to confirm that i am truly ocd,although I have tendencies to be that way .Its usually about a project or interest that i have and then It passes.Lately I have been obsessed by illness.I think that I have read enough about symptoms to be in premed by now.I hate it!I have litterly thousands of interest.Why am I stuck on this one.?I can't seem to concentrate on anything else.If I start working on somthing else I always have to be looking up something I just felt.In the past my obsessions have always been something positive but this one is scarring me to death.I have been to two doctors that say that im fine and a 30 year nurse all of which say im just looking in to much on myself and if I could just stop I would be ok. How Can I kick This bad habit.Its getting worse everyday?Serious Only?

i should not diagnose you on line, but there is a chance that you may have an anxiety disorder. i saw your other questions, and it seems you are obsessed with your body functions. is there another stress factor in your life that is causing this feeling? have you seen a psychiatrist or mental health professional? when you say you have had ocd checked out , does it mean you were checked out by a professional or are you self diagnosing? and no it is not stupid, as it is causing you a great deal of stress i had a similar problem like you and am in the same age bracket, and found out the problem was stress, and it caused me a lot of anxiety. a small dose of medication can go a long ways for anxiety. sounds like you have checked everything out physically, now maybe its time you checked it out mentally. this is no way for you to live. i suggest a psychiatrist may be your first step. this is no way for you to live. hopefully these suggestions will be helpfull to you. good luck to you.

It sounds like your a very analytical person which is not a bad thing but not a good thing either if you become obsessed to a point that it becomes an interference in your life. At 52 your still young, you seem to have an interest in the medical field, why not approach it by taking classess. Isn't it amazing how our body works, and it all stem from our brain cells. I too get overwhelmed when I find something of interest. Your okay to be obsessed. We know our own bodies best and in the event something does come up, you will have the appropriate questions to ask, whether for yourself or a friend. Too much to learn is still not enough. Good Luck ! ! !
