Hello, this is Jon. Thank you for your questions. It sounds like you are having a challenging time with this.

First, if you haven’t already, get a full physical with cbc and include iron, testosterone if male, hormones if female, b vitamins, thyroid, etc. This will rule out any physiological issues and give a baseline of your current health status.


Of course without doing a thorough bio psychological assessment it is only speculation what the root cause is of your “health anxiety “.


Please seek out an experienced psychiatrist or psychotherapist in your area. This condition is sympathetic of a root cause issue that can be explored and definitely treated so you can have freedom and hope.

I will pray for you and your family and for healing and hope and find joy in your life that the Heavenly Father wants for you.
