A member asked:
If you have fear of certain injury/condition, and think about it often and then experience feelings/symptoms of it, is that psychosomatic?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possibly: In the beginning phases of hypochondriasis or psychosomatic symptoms, one typically pays an inordinate amount of attention to physical signs and symptoms. Talking to a therapist can help determine if these thoughts are reasonable or an over active assessment of body signs and signals.
