How To Stop?
I have health anxiety due to a little PTSD. Can anyone please offer advice on how I can make myself stop checking my pulse? And please do not say..just quit...I need some real insite here...thanks!
Its so interesting how health anxiety can affect us. Many of my patients check there pulses often. As a psychologist, my first question is why do you continually check your pulse? Is it because you think you have heart problems?
You should find a good doctor. I was mugged and started having severe anxiety problems. My doctor made me feel better almost immediately...simply because I realized I wasn't crazy! My doctor slowly prescribed the generic version of Zoloft. I'm up to 150 mg. He also prescribed Clonazepam on an as-needed basis for panic attacks. Basically, it would be helpful for you to set a doctor's appointment soon!
