Suggest Remedy For Severe Anxiety

Hi im a 25 obese male. I have anxiety and not horrible blood pressure. High at times if my anxiety gets that bad. So i went to work today and ibwent to scratch the middle part on the right side of my stomach and i couldn't feel my nails go across my stomach. I describe it as if i slept on that side (which i did last night) for to long and i lost lost feeling in it. Theres not pain or really any swelling. Maybe a little bit of swelling but nothing thats alarming. Bowel movement has been normal. I had this feeling a while ago but just want to be sure im not dying

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Definitely you are not dying. You are having anxiety and quite naturally anxiety disorder patients do have obsession and psycho-somatic symptoms. In psycho-somatic symptoms, the patient assumes many things and obsess with those things. Thereby increasing the anxiety and worsening the anxiety itself.

You could not feel the nails go through because you were not there at all mentally. That so happens because you were obsessive. Anxiety disorders are often treated with the help of combination of medicines, psychotherapy life style changes and relaxation. I hope you are under treatment. Please work with your psychiatrist or psychologist for a cure.
