Why do I worry? Why do I google? Why do I get myself worked up?
The past few months, on and off, I have had short, sharp stabbing pains in my chest. They last maybe 1 second and go away. Doesn't happen every day. Might happen a few times in one day and then nothing for a few weeks again. Also, now and again, I have been wakening with a jolt at times, as if I have "forgotten to breathe" - this gets me into a panic when I waken and then I actually have to sit and think and calm myself and breathe correctly.
So today, I read the online newspaper and there is a child who has just died of subacute endocarditis. That sent me into a panic. I have spent the past while googling it and trying to convince myself I don't have it. Rationally I can talk myself into forgetting about it. Irrationally, I think, what if......

I have just looked at ALL my posts - my first post was about short stabbing pains on 6/11/2013! Also, the forgetting to breathe thing was in jan 2014! *Big Sigh......*
