do i sound like a hypochondriac?

ever since i had my second baby in november, i've become preoccupied that i have various conditions going on with me. it's actually quite ridiculous. after i had my baby, i started getting heart palpitations. i googled it and immediately diagnosed myself with PVCs. i kept having them, but not quite as often, along with a few other mild symptoms and convinced myself i had postpartum cardiomyopathy for weeks. now, occasionally (not every day) i get these crazy pains above my ear. i've never had a headache before in my life really, so now i'm thinking i could possibly have a brain tumor. i have also been kind of dizzy lately but that coincidentally started right after i got the depo shot. i feel like i'm going insane. i hate thinking the worst! damn google. i genuinely hate feeling like this. i take really good care of myself, i go to the gym almost every day and i run many miles a week. i try and eat healthy. but when i convince myself i have an ailment i genuinely cannot get it out of my head.

sorry if i sound crazy!

That's why I can't Google ANYTHING when my family has a medical issue.

Hypochondria are people who make up illnesses and or ailments. You could have a somatoform disorder. Which is common in people with anxiety. Your anxiety convinces your body you have such ailments which makes you have real symptoms. If that makes sense?

I had to stop watching Dr. Oz because every day I thought I had cancer, and sm*rf if I missed the end where he tells us what to do, to *not* get that cancer... Lol get a regular physical maybe every 3 months, then when ur satisfied maybe go to every 6 months.... Then once a year??

That is why I hate google!

My sister is pregnant and is pogoing everything she shouldn't eat while she is pregnant. I'm pregnant as well had she is telling me I shouldn't eat something because it could cause miscarriage. I have a
Ways eaten whatever I wanted during my pregnancies and no problems.

Anyways just sty away from google and don't self diagnose yourself. Cause you the can start sounding like a hpocrodriac (sp?)

Not to be confused with being a hypochondriac.
I am convinced my mom has a somatoform disorder
She has real symptoms of problems but the doctors can never find a cause

She also has high anxiety to begin with

No, I am the same. I am pretty convinced atm that there is some smurf going on in my brain like a tumor or something. I have had headaches every day for over 4 months straight, I get the pains in my ears and a sharp pain above them happens too. I get lightheaded a lot like I could pass out, I get crazy pressure in the back of my head that goes down my neck, I get really bad pain behind my eyes, when my headache is in full force I get pressure like feelings in my nose, I wake up every morning with my hand tingling....smurf is weird. Luckily I get a MRI on Saturday with & without contrast on my brain, so hopefully I get some kind of answers.

I would just talk to your doctor about it, see if they can run some tests to rule out stuff or diagnose things.
