I've come to terms with the fact that I have health anxiety, however no matter what I try (yoga, therapy, etc) I always end up back in the same place. For the past few months I have been experiencing the same symptoms (pains in my chest, gas, shortness of breath when lying down, recurring chest colds, muscle aches) and I have myself convinced I have lung cancer. I'm a 30 yo female with a pretty healthy lifestyle, and my head tells me that's most likely not the case. However, I've gone through ekgs, stress echo, chest x-rays, and all have shown nothing. I feel like my GP thinks I'm crazy, but I genuinely feel these things going on. My question is, can anxiety and stress cause symptoms like I'm having and if so what can I do to stop them?!

To answer your question: Yes.

The more posts you read here in the forum, the more you'll see just how uncannily similar your symptoms are with those of so many others who post here. That's one of the aspects of anxiety, it can hijack any number of systems within us and trigger all sorts of responses.

Have you looked in on our Resources Page, right on the top of the page? There are many, many things you can do on your own, and at your own pace, and that are free, to help wrangle in those anxiety monsters! It's worth taking a little bit of your time to check them out.

There's no "one" answer because something that may not have worked for one person may turn out to work wonders for you! The key is to keep at it.
