Does anyone know how to cope with health anxiety? I have had this dull ache in my left shoulder blade for months, had X-rays come back clear and seen doctor who has told me it's muscle related, just can't help thinking it's cancer for some reason! I'm so distressed by these thoughts, I keep imagining my children being without me. Lost my mam to anxiety and do not want to go down that same road, as she was a constant worrier of cancer. I'm trying to quit smoking 5 a day which is hard having this anxiety. I am currently on sertraline and have been for over a year which I feel doesn't help much, I really want to see my doctor but feel like I'm being a nuisance although I haven't been since June. :(
