Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have been suffering from health anxiety. I used to get eight hours of sleep and one hour of walk everyday. I keep my body mass index according to my height and weight. But sometimes, I am not able to follow my schedule properly, that 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?

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 and also, 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.

Please follow up for further assistances.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
