Hi
Sounds like your mind is playing tricks on you, anxiety and negative thinking
I used to be the same well I still get negative thoughts from my anxiety but have learned how to cope with these moments of madness
99% there is nothing wrong with you and all in your head the more negative and worried thinking you do the worse it gets vicious circle
Do you excercise and eat well and concentrated on drinking lots of water sleeping well ear armons nuts
Lifestyle is a huge feeding ground for anxiety the better the lifestyle the better you are
This is a very "normal" for anyone suffering health anxiety. I'm going through this atm and I do the same thing as u - I worry about something and then I get it checked and then I stop worrying about that thing and I start worrying about something else haha.
I had a few months where I had chest pains so I worried I was having heart issues, then I had an EKG done and everything was normal and the chest pains disappeared.
A few months later I started getting rlly bad muscle tension in my head/neck, and having cluster headaches and a lot of dizzyness. So then (thanks to Google) I worried I had a brain tumor. I had an MRI done and everything was clear haha, and those symptoms disappeared.
Now I have a few swollen lymph nodes on my head, and I'm freaked out that it could be lymphoma. My Dr said he thinks its my acne or dermatitis on my scalp making them swollen, and that they don't appear to be anything malignant. But I can't stop worrying about it! =( Ugh.
Health anxiety is so frustrating. I see a therapist and it has been helping. I've also started reading "Anxiety & Phobia Workbook (6th edition)" and so far I find the book realllly interesting and reassuring.
pain CAN come from Anxiety. If it makes you feel better, go to the doctor and get checked. But once you get checked and find out you're fine. BELIEVE you are fine. You have to trust in your doctors. i went through this same thing. Cancer, MS, brain tumor, I was sick, I was going to die, my husband was gong to die, my son was going to die. I get anxiety around the same time every month and every month it is a new worry. you have to tell yourself it is just anxiety and go on about your day. The more you pay it attention the more the symptoms will stick around
I just don’t know what to do I’m only 19 and it just feels like the end.. all my observations came back normal if the doctor thought there was a chance something was wrong he would of done a blood test wouldn’t he? Google Is literally my enemy at the moment constantly looking at my symptoms just really wish it would all go away

Your proposed blood tests will hopefully put your fears to rest, I can generally have bloods taken about twice a year and there is nothing to worry about. I have a full bloods taken and they will help you hopefully stop worrying.
