So I went to the doctor due to stomach pain... and he said most likely it was my gallbladder causing issues. I have an ultrasound scheduled. But my thoughts have ran with it and of course I googled stomach pains, It shows “Uncommon “causes such as HIV. (Note it even said uncommon yet I’m still freaking out)When I saw that I freaked out. Idk why I have been tested for that over the years. I was literally just tested at the end of last year, no reason at all I’m married but my thoughts got he best of me so I decided to go get tested. So now seeing that on darn Google has my ocd and anxiety saying what if they missed it... is this a symptom of OCD / Anxiety to doubt lab results 😩 Help!
Hiya
It sounds a lot like health anxiety which is another form of anxiety. I understand that even after the initial thumbs up from the dr the doubts creep in again. I also found that when I focused on a symptom it tends to get worse, that’s usually your mind telling you to focus on it. When I’m busy it goes (funny that). I can’t tell you what to do but reading helped me a lot in self help books. Also going for brisk walks helps to eliminate any adrenaline build up and regulates your body. Hope you feel better soon
