I’m 13 years old and a very serious hypochondriac. I get serious panic attacks ever day about every hour or so. It is driving me insane!
My worst fears are a cerebral aneurysm and a sudden heart attack. So I am constantly, out of habit, checking my pulse rate and getting panic attacks with every little headache.
My hands start sweating a lot and I feel light headed and dizzy like if I don’t see a doctor in minutes, I will go crazy. Of course, I always somehow manage to force myself over these attacks but it is extremely hard, especially at school.
Today I came home in the middle of first period because I had one of these attacks so I faked sick and went to the nurse.
My mom is setting up regular appointments for me to see a brain doctor and a cardiologist.
Can anyone offer any help at all? It would be much appreciated!
