Why do I feel obsessed more about my health?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have been suffering from health anxiety. I used to get eight hours of sleep and one hour of walking every day. I keep my body mass index according to my height and weight. But sometimes, I am not able to follow my schedule properly, which makes me feel so depressed. I always want to see myself as healthy, and I am trying hard to maintain it.

Is this good or bad? How to control my health anxiety?

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query,

I can understand your situation and concern about your health. It is good to take care of your health, but do not get obsessed with it. If you do not take a break from your routine, it will become boring and monotonous.

You are not going to be healthy in your whole life; there will be effects of aging in the future. So do not get obsessed with it, and try to focus on maintaining your health and happiness.

I hope this helps

Please follow up for further assistance.

Thank you.
