This all started last year, actually when my serious HA started, when I had an abcsessed tooth which I'd had for years, and it kept coming and going, but it got pretty painful last year and I became paranoid about it possibly spreading through my system etc... so I kept checking it regularly. Then I had the tooth out, and I had short lived relief. I started worrying that it was taking too long to heal, so I started checking the gum, making sure it wasn't infected.... but now I'm in this habit of putting a torch in my mouth and looking for all sorts of things! Today I was convinced I could see the back of my throat closing over and thought I was going to choke to death, or that there is a tumour behind there.... ARGHHH!! Anyone else do this?

yes. ive banned myself now from using the torch, but i check my mouth every day in the mirror. i had a freak out earlier today from poking my tongue around without thinking and scanning for lumps. its driving me crazy.
