So I have health anxiety about my heart and it really makes me anxious I've been to the ER and doctors over 20times in the last 2 months I've had ekgs chest X-rays stress tests and holter monitors which all came back normal... I saw somebody have a seizure a few years ago and that made me feel like I was going to have a seizure it went on for a couple of months and I never had a seizure so I got over it... So back in February my baby boyfriend and I were asleep in the bed and I hear him yell out and I look at him and he is convulsing and having a seizure!!! It scared me soo bad :( i ran to my moms room to get her because I was freaking out... Bad idea because he was choking on his tongue when I got back and my mom literally had to stick her finger in his mouth and pop his tongue out of his throat!!!! Ever since then I've been having a feeling I will have a seizure ! I feel out of touch with reality sometimes I get a metal taste in my mouth and my head feels fuzzy and shakey also I get leg twitches sometimes at night! How likely is it that I will have one and why do I feel this way??? Please help !!! I am terrified!!!

Hi there...

So, I am a school student and a boy in my year has epilepsy so he is constantly having seizures. The first time I saw him have a full blown seizure I went to make sure he was ok. He described his feelings and symptoms; of course - my anxiety went into overdrive. After he told me them I was convinced I had/was going to have a seizure.

It took a while for me to realize I wasn't. I had every symptom he told me all of a sudden. I still sometimes believe ai will have one... Its so scary. But I am coming too terms with it an dknowing its my anxiety playing tricks on me.

I often feel someone is shaking my head, dizziness, numbness, disorientated, nausea, pressure and constant headaches.

Best of wishes... Xx

Thank u for your reply ! It absolutely terrifies me to think I will have one! I know I probably won't but just the thought of it mixed with my anxiety drives me crazy! Health anxiety sucks :(
