Anxiety getting worse
Here's my story my anxiety began in 2012 when my husband got deployed i figured it would go away once he returned nope its getting worse I have this health related anxiety whenever something happens like if I get a headache I think I'm dying my father had cancer so that's my biggest fear is getting cancer I get it so bad it makes my back hurt my legs go numb my arm will be so sore its hard to move my lips go numb my neck feels heavy I feel like I cant breathe like I'm suffocating once it came from nowhere when we driving home I had to have my hubby floor it and as soon as we got home I dropped to the ground outside my house gasping for air I don't mind normal hot/cold flashes, shaking but I dont know what to do I have a fear of drs and medication please someone tell me I'm not the only one like this

First, know that you are not alone. Your feelings are real, and this community is a good starting place to sort them out. I hope you are able to connect with a listener (or several) who give you support and encouragement as you work to understand your situation and to find ways to cope with your anxiety. Take care.
Thank you it's so bad today I'm all congested up and my mind has me thinking I'm dying I'm petrified to go to the dr I dont know what to do

It does sound like you are struggling. Your doctor is trained to help you figure things out in these situations. Even if you do not feel like you are in crisis, you could also consider calling a crisis line for advice regarding your symptoms and how to get some real help. As you know, we are not trained medical or mental health professionals so cannot give you any advice. That wouldn't be wise on our parts since we don't actually have that education or experience.
