Do health problems make you anxious?

I made a list with my health problems. I ignored some of them and now I can lose my eyesight. I found out that I can be blind in one eye because I avoided to treat my eye problems for years. I am very anxious and upset. I treated other medical problems. In my town there aren't good doctors. I avoided because I hoped that I can travel in another town. I hope it's not too late. Health problems make me very anxious and it is a lot of work to do to treat all problems. It seems impossible. I wonder how can I find strenght to overcome so many problems.

Yes. I have an anxiety disorder and it primarily manifests itself as hypochondria.

I have real health issues, but sometimes I have hypochondria too. I have an anxiety disorder too. I have too many problems.

I try to check my health problems as thoroughly as I can. And if I feel that I don´t trust a doctor, I go to another.

I will do the same. I am going to ask for a second opinion.

@Abbluada How can we relax? I tried a lot to relax and I can't.

@dya80dya cortisol hormone may be the cause, so we need to be happy and relax to increase dopamine hormone etc
