Hi guys. As you know, being an anxiety sufferer we tend to become melodramatic about symptoms we get. Anyway, today I woke up with a inflammed and sore throat. I didn't know why, but was trying to rethink all the foods & drinks I consumed the night before. I was thinking, maybe it was the freshly squeezed lemon juice I drank, or maybe it was the coffees and herbal teas I drank. Maybe it was the salt & vinegar and chilli doritos I ate. I was trying to retrace to figure it out.
Anyway, now I am stressing that it's throat cancer or some horrible infection/disease. It has only been a day I've had it. I have felt a little lightheaded, but I think that's maybe to do with my raised anxiety/stress levels and also my gym workouts + lack of sleep. However, I start to think it's interconnected because of my health anxiety about my throat.
I was just looking for some advice/reassurance really. If it's still present in a couple days I think I'll go pay the doctor a visit. For now though, I am trying to relax and not overly worry.
