Hi, I just got my bachelor's degree last year and I've proceeded right away to graduate school. When I got a scholarship in grad school, I also applied for a job as a graduate assistant.
Back then, I my hypochondria was in a dormant state. And luckily though, my job required me everything (social security papers, tax papers, etc.) except the medical stuff.
Now as I see my friends post stuff on Facebook and Twitter like "Done with the medical exam for work!" and things similar to that, I find myself anxious about me getting a new job after I'm done being a graduate assistant.
I heard that most companies require you to have a yearly medical check up. That makes me terrified even more :(
The last blood/urine/stool test I had was April 2011. Everything came up normal except my uric acid came up a bit elevated. The doctor didn't give me any meds.
Also, my blood pressure always seems to be higher like 140 or something. My family has a history of hypertension. :(
I fear that my future medical results will hinder me from getting my dream job and I will die a miserable man. :(
I am only 21 years old and I feel so bad about this. :(
