Answer 1

Those are called somatic complaints. Please talk to your therapist about this

Unexplained somatic complaints are characterized by the presence of single or multiple physical symptoms, many of which have no medical explanation. The most common symptoms are:
Headaches
Abdominal distress
Other aches and pains
Dizziness
Palpitations
Other symptoms of anxiety
Constipation or diarrhea (irritable bowel syndrome)
Depression or anxiety
If the problem is severe and long-standing the individual may qualify for a diagnosis of Somatisation Disorder. Somatisation Disorder is applicable if the individual has experienced multiple, recurrent, and frequently changing physical symptoms for several years. Management of these individuals is more difficult than when dealing with specific isolated somatic symptoms.

Answer 2

Why would you want to live your life in constant fear when you can just concentrate on living your life and doing the things that you love. You cannot change fate but you can regain control of your life. Not every head ache or stomach ache means that you are dying, sometimes they are indicators of stress and that your body needs to rest. The next time you find yourself worrying just remember that it is not a big deal, and if you are unsure talk to your doctor because if they say you are healthy than you are probably healthy.
Good luck.

Answer 3

If your heart starts racing and you start breathing heavy and think you're dieing...that's a panic attack. But I think you just have a fear of dieing. You're thinking of a "hypochondriac"...who thinks they have all kinds of diseases.It's easy to become one if you keep looking at all the diseases people have on Y/A....especially the mental ones. Have a dr. check you out...a complete physical..so you'll either know what you have or stop worrying.

Answer 4

what you're thinking of is hypocondria. i just answered another q like this. the obsession with disease and dying is also a symptom of clinical depression. when was the last time your meds were checked?you need to tell your doc about these feelings.

Answer 5

That is called anxiety. It can be a result of your antidepressant medications, so talk to your doctor.
