Discussion I'm terribly afraid of having a stroke.

[Duskcel]

Every time my ear rings of a hand goes numb I have a full on panic attack. I often check myself in the mirror to see if my face is drooping. I'm a heavy smoker.

The reason for the fear is the fact that strokes often don't kill. They leave you in a vegetable like state in which that even if I wanted to kill myself I couldn't.

Any other bros with this type of fear or hypochondria on here?

I'd be curious on how you guys manage it (or not).

I hope that even If I have a stroke by that time my brain will be so fried it won't matter what state i'm in

I have the exact same thing due to OCD, there are times when I'm in bed and falling asleep and I kind of feel a burning in my arm and instantly panic and jolt up and hold out both my arms to see if one is falling.

And how do you manage the stress of knowing it can happen any second?

I don't really do anything to manage it, when its on my mind it stresses me out but its usually just a few times a day

if I happens it happens that's all I think when I can like a body scare or something

I am genetically way more likely to have a heart attack so hopefully I wouldn't survive something like that
