Just a little background, I'm 24 and first started suffering from health anxiety about 6 years ago. I've when through spells where it goes away for a time, and then, especially in times of high stress, it comes back with a vengeance.
About 10 weeks ago I had extreme abdominal pain, went to the hospital the did blood work and said I was fine. Went back home and the next day still had the awful pain, used the restroom and my stool was literally white, and the whites of my eyes had a yellow tint. Went back to the hospital and my liver levels were 5 times the normal level. Turns out my gallbladder was awful. It was literally decaying inside of me. So I had emergency gallbladder surgery. Immediately after, my liver levels went back to normal.
However, that really kicked off my anxiety again. So here I am, sick, with what more than likely is a virus, and I get the urge to go look at my eyes, when I do I notice a yellowish tint in the corners so naturally I panic, use the restroom and my stool was a light tan color...so more panic. I'm trying to rationalize I really am, but everything in me is screaming to run to the ER because something may be wrong with my liver. I'm so scared.
