Try this:
Imagine a doctor has just told you that tingling in your left foot means you have terminal cancer. Really focus on your left foot for 60 seconds....it will start tingling...is it tingling yet? If not, focus on it more...Tingling yet? Thought so.
You have just created a symptom using the power of your mind.
What does this tell you about your health anxiety? What does this tell you about symptoms in general?
The mind is a VERY powerful thing, powerful enough to cause very real symptoms - you have just proved it.
