In health anxiety or hypochondriasis, a person usually has a number of factors that predispose them to developing health anxiety. Things like negative past experiences with health, leading to inflexible or inaccurate health rules or assumptions that predispose a person to develop health anxiety or hypochondriasis. This predisposition to health anxiety or hypochondriasis lays dormant in a person until their health anxiety gets triggered. There are two main types of health anxiety triggers: internal triggers, things like noticing a change in heart rate, ringing in your ears, stomach distress, fluctuations in energy level; and external triggers, things like hearing about someone who is been diagnosed with a serious illness, news stories about various diseases, having an upcoming medical appointment. Internal and external triggers can work together to ignite the underlying, dormant hypochondriasis, resulting in a massive increase in worry and anxiety about health. This is how health anxiety or hypochondriasis gets triggered. Future videos will explore factors that maintain high levels of hypochondriasis and worries about health.
