hi Lara
I didnt want to just read bad leave as I see you’ve added a few posts recently, so I’m sure your anxiety is bad at the moment. I know what it feels like to convince yourself you have something seriously wrong , and its all you can think about .
After having my baby, and going on the pill, my health anxiety rocketed . I was a mess . All I could think about was that I had some terrible illness and I was going to die and leave my baby . My anxiety causes me all different physical symptoms, which of course made me worry more. I spend hours a day googling , convincing myself i had something wrong.
I stopped taking the mini pill and it helped my anxiety loads (not completely gone but much better)
Please please try and get some help for your anxiety if you can. I wasted precious months after my son was born , constantly worrying and when I look back I feel like I wasted precious time with him during his first few months because I was more focused on my physical anxiety symptoms.
I know its easier said than done , but please try and remember that anxiety plays tricks on the mind , it can give us physical symptoms that are not actually there.
I really hope you get the help you need 
please feel free to send me a private message if you ever need to talk , I know how tough living with anxiety can be
