1.6 (B)  Health Anxiety

Health Anxiety:
Health anxiety, is a common form of anxiety, where a person focuses so much on the sensations within the body, they can start to believe that there is something wrong with them. They feel that somehow their body (stomach, intestines, heart, lungs) has somehow turned against them. This can lead them into a pattern of fear of their health. They can worry so much, that the person can become compulsive, looking at every sensation and pain, as if somehow life threatening, and can worry to the brink of panic.
This type of compulsive behavior, can also stem from emotional baggage that was held onto for too long. This could be something like a fear from childhood that can resonate through life. What can start as a mundane issue, if given time, can build up, the mind can take over, create muscular tension over it, and eventually, mold it into a fear. So each time the same or similar situation arises, the mind reminds us of the initial fear, and the body reacts. This can show up as a churning of the belly, to eventually, (if goes unresolved and severe enough), great sensations that radiate thru the body, which could worry the mind into full-blown panic attacks.
