A member asked:
I have acute health anxiety. how can i determine between something seriously being wrong or it just being in my head?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anxiety: Well, if you do have symptoms other than those of anxiety, you will need to see a doc to get history and exam done. He may choose to do additional work up to rule out certain things. If nothing has been found, then anxiety can be blamed for your symptoms.
