Hi all. I am new to the site so just learning my way. I suffer from anxiety and this is particularly around my health. This stemmed from a health scare last year, and although I gut the all clear I now worry uncontrollably about having a health condition that I will die from. This includes lymphoma , breast can or more recently; a DVT. I am sure that I just imagine pain, and this leads me to google to self diagnosis.
I read symptoms of an illness and then funnily enough I then start to present with these exact symptoms. Anyone else?
I recently went to gp re chest pain. He ruled out a PE but asked if I had pain in my leg (which I didn't.) funnily enough later that day, I have leg pain. Totally convinced self that I have a DVT and will die on a flight which I am due to go on. I don't like phoning GP as I believe I may be irrational, however I can't clear my thoughts. This currently takes over my day/night. I can't enjoy myself due to fear.
Be great full for your experiences.
