Hi there, What you are describing is exactly the symptoms of health anxiety at its worse. I know because like you I have been there over many years. You have the tests they come back clear and you are happy until the next symptom raises its ugly head. At your age there is not much likely physically to be wrong with you. Ask your GP to refer you for group counselling and this works really well and you can share your worries with others in the same boat.

That feeling ur getting of knowing ur going to die as if it's a 6th sense if u will is a massive symptom of anxiety it's called the feeling of impending doom. It's something I really struggle with myself. I know people can reassure you a massive amount of times but in ur head u can't accept it because this feeling is so real to u. At the age of 23 ur highly unlikely to die of cardiac arrest ( if you look at my posts you will think that's abit rich coming from me lol) I'm 24 and have overwhelming terror of heart problems/dvts/cancer/HIV (I like to cover all bases ��) I think you need more then meds have u tried a counsellor or cbt yet ?
