Petrified of Cancer

[Anon123]

Basically for the last 3 weeks I have had a chest infection,and gotten given antibiotics to clear it up. Scince then I have been feeling achy tierd and sick. I have health anxiety and in the past this has caused me to think I have had brain tumour, toxic shock and septismia. This time however I am so scared that I have luekima and that I'm dying of it. The symptoms I have are achness tierdness and headaches but I am in the middle of exams so everyone is saying it is stress. I am honestly so scared and I don't know what to do. I have had panic attacks and feeling anxious all the time. Any advice on if have leukaemia or if this is just anxiety?
