Why bodily sensations feel worse with health anxiety

[DavisInDuval]

Heavy carb meals have been giving me palpitations lately. Feel so much better when I skip that stuff.

I had anxiety disorder which caused rapid heartbeat and shortness of breath, and it has stayed that way. I'm not afraid of anything anymore, but it continues. I went to the doctor and he said there's nothing wrong with me, but I can't breathe and feel like I'm lacking air 24/7.

When you mention focusing bodily sensations I think that you worry about it right.
I remember my chest tightening but I am over it. It comes but goes quickly.
Been on the journey for four-year and due to your advice I am not where I was back in 2020.
Wish I had money for your program or at least talk to you once Shaan cause you are good at what you do and I got questions.

Hi Sir, thanks a lot for sharing such useful help. I am very grateful to you.
I am in deep trouble since last 1 year.
I had some ocd before this but from last year due to some fear something got triggered and it became very worse.

I am fighting since 1 year amd currently the main problem is.
That my mind is auto visualizing everything, mostly if it dangerous or fearful then it does it more. Even while talking or reading etc.
And a constant rubbish auto visualization that a big knife or something harmful(a sharp plate type thing or something unclear) is coming with speed on my neck and will cut it or hit it. It is very frequent sometimes😔😢 and the thing is
everything is normal around me but this visualisation keeps going and it is very difficult to convey to my mind that nothing of that sort is real. But it creates choking and pain in neck😔
I am troubled due to this.

Then I have to change it or do something or kill the visualisation with another visualisation or something otherwise it becomes very distressing and I am not able to work or focus on anything😞

And this 1 is main and another is the fear of some wandering soul (bhatakti aatma) which i fear is in my house of entering my body, it started from this only. I am not able to fully get over this fear as this fear accompanies the visualisation where my mind creates auto visualisation of something unclear coming towards me from back and will enter my body and do harm to me and will cause trouble to my body😢 amd it creates lot of heaviness in back and bad feeling where it is difficult to work or do something 😞

And based on different fears it changes and creates anxiety accordingly as my mind auto imagines these fearful things.

Like I heard about an incident where rods in a truck entered inside the bus in an accident. So that auto visualisation comes that the rod might hit my neck or chin and i see that as mind creates that imagination automatically 😢 and creates distress and anxiety.

And then all of this leads to overthinking a loop of thoughts that nothing will happen to me and all.

And I fear dogs to sometimes when I am outside walking and there are fogs around then the mind creates auto visualisation that the dog will come from back and will bite or attack me. And due to that lower legs and that region gets a bit of pain and heaviness 😢

How to deal with all of this? Please please help.

I have been trying several ways, it has got better but not cured. Sometimes it gets difficult. My kind tries creating some visualisation formed of light always. It is always requiring some visualisation otherwise it tries to go to bad ones and I am fed up of doing replacement visualisations as that also doesn't lets me focus.

I need help!😢 Please!

Caffeine, sugar, smoking and fluctuating blood sugar levels can bring this on.

Ie, there is a real physical cause and not just your mind playing tricks on you!

How can I differentiate between real health issue or anxiety??

[chrissimpson]

so it was like I was sitting on the couch after I was done eating and then I just suddenly felt this quick rapid 3 to 10 seconds felt like a flutter, skip beat feeling almost as if it were out of rhythm for a few seconds and then it stopped and didn’t happen again is that normal ? Or cause for concern. I do have an Apple Watch and did try to catch it I usually only wear my watch when working out I use a regular watch most of the time it just wasn’t for me.
