How couples process lingering medical test anxiety after trauma

My partner and I are both healthcare workers who had to get regular COVID tests throughout the pandemic, and even now when we get routine lab work, we both have this lingering anxiety about waiting for any test results that we can't seem to shake. We went through those years of constant testing together but now we're both carrying this hypervigilance about medical results that's affecting how we handle even normal healthcare.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared medical trauma creates ongoing hypervigilance that transforms routine healthcare into triggering experiences.
