My health anxiety has been through the roof today. On Saturday I busted my knee and almost went to the ER since the doctors was closed for the weekend. I decided not to go because it started getting better and I figured I could make an appointment with an ortho this week. I have my appointment tomorrow and I think that’s what’s triggering my health anxiety…

I woke up this morning feeling fine and all of a sudden my heart is racing and I’m sweating. It’s on and off for like the last hour but now I’m worried about my heart (my anxiety has always been around my heart). I’m worried because in my head, if I went to the hospital they might see something with my heart and would be able to see it while I was there for my knee; but since I decided not to go, it’s been stuck in my head that something is wrong with my heart and I missed the chance for them to catch it (it’s ridiculous I know)…

I put my feet up and take deep breaths to calm it (which works) but then I get up and it starts again… also my left arm keeps falling asleep when I lay down and hold my phone up so that freaks me out too… I’m just having a hard time right now
