i have been having some symptoms lately that i am starting to believe are more mental than physical...feeling of congestion in the chest, light-headedness, chest pain, tingling in hands and feet. i went to my doctor for the chest thing and he put me on aciphex. i can make these symptoms worse, and if my mind is occupied i never have a problem. the more i think about it the worse it gets. could this be anxiety? i am a worrier anyways!
It is always wise to have a doctor examine you in cases of unexplainable symptoms, in order to eliminate any physical illness.
Lie on your back on the bed and concentrate on your unpleasant feelings. Allow them to be as bad as you can tolerate. Try to make contact with what you are really feeling. If you lay there until the feelings subside, you will in the best of cases, have an idea of what you need to do in order to make your life better.
Cognitive therapy could help you think more constructive thoughts.
