A member asked:
I'm a hypochondriac and i got strep throat right after a concussion and slept about 8 hours over 2 nights. could this make my concussion worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wrong Question: Since u are a self-identified hypochondriac,chances are that telling u sleep won't make yr concussion worse(it won't)isn't going to reassure you much.But the anxiety caused byexcessive worrying about health is the bigger problem.Hypochondriasis is a true anxiety-driven disorder which interferes w/yr life.Seeing a good CBT therapist can teach u ways to reduce intrusive health concerns.
