I'm not a trooper i am a coward! Scared of life and hence why i get so worked up and panicked! I do have anxiety and i fixate it all on my health! If i really think back to being a child i can see that even then i probably had the anxiety in me too. I was bullied in primary school and went to see a child psychologist in order to overcome the fear and panic of going to school each day.

I also used to fear my dad too. He left the family home when i was 2 and never really had a great relationship with him. I saw him as a bully and a mean man that used to come around to give out to my mum and myself and my brothers.

I do know why i have anxiety but when i have little anixety/panic attacks i get more and more afraid of the symptoms.

I want to not let this effect my life anymore and i want to be able to look forward to rest of my life and hopefully be able to start a family next year too.

I have white coat sydrome too and when i went to my doc last week my BP was 140/102 but i was very anxious.

Does anyone else here suffer with Health Anxiety??

How long does most of your anxiety last?
I've been worried about a brain tumour for past month and now i'm scared that i'll loose my hair because i worry and stress myself out.

When i read the many symptoms of panic and anxiety attacks i don't see hair loss is this a uncommon thing that can happen to people without anxiety and panic?
