Hi Shiloh, this is health anxiety and it is very common. If this is starting to interfere with every day life then you need to talk to your doctor. Medication is an option or they may be able to recommend therapy to help you. Remember you are not going crazy, you are just overthinking this and there is help out there. Keep posting and let us know if you want to chat further.

We never have much say in when we are called, I was like you in my teens, twenties and would worry, what if ?
Now I am sixty seven and consider the time wasted when younger when I was in my teens/twenties.
You need to consider if we are here for a purpose then of we go, we never know anything about it. We cannot negotiate our life or death, we need to accept what we have.
It gets better as we get older, try diverting your fears to something else, I work in the garden or go for a drive to the beach where our dog can run
Live for the day, tomorrow is gone and tomorrow will look after itself
