Hello all health anxiety sufferers.
I'm 35 from Canada and found this forum while googling about my symptoms. I've had bouts before where I thought I had lymphoma because of a small bump on one side of collarbone which turned out to be just my bone. One time my chest was feeling tight and I thought I had lung cancer. Turns out after a chiropractor adjustment, it was just a misaligned/adjust back causing the chest to feel that way. Long story short I've always had hypochondriac, I feel like I'm doomed every time I have something weird or not normal in my body. Everything is normal until the next time I feel something and I google it.
i just came back from Hong Kong and got a cold/cough that's ongoing for close to 11 days now. I've ate less during this time from being sick and jet lag. I weighed myself and then I lost weight from 180 to 174 pounds. Been having dry mouth and loss of appetite so I googled and of course loss of weight and loss of appetite points to a few cancers such as pancreatic and colon. This has caused me so much anxiety and stress that it's making me unable to eat and I don't know if it's the ongoing anxiety causing the loss of weight and appetite or it's cancer. I don't have any other symptoms but it's weird I don't want to eat because I'm a big foodie. Can this anxiety be causing me to feel like not eating and loss of weight like I'm doomed?
Please help :unsure:
