Hi Rahul :welcome:

I think anxiety can do all sorts like this and after a while it becomes a viscous circle of not knowing which came first, the health problem or the anxiety, I've been having IBS problems and I think the IBS may have been partly caused by my anxiety but then I worry about the IBS which makes it worse, if you get what I mean.

I think you'd get a lot of help posting about this in the health anxiety sub-forum, everyone is really helpful and they may be going though the same problems.

Best wishes :hugs:
