Evening everyone hope you are all well.
Like lots of others on here i am suffering from health anxiety, I am 27 years old and have never really had any health problems. The last three months i have been to the doctors quite alot getting things checked out. Everytime he has checked me out and said everything is ok, which each time reasures me for a while and then i always seem to find something else to worry about.
I went to the opticans last month, had been having visual problems i thought tumor and again was told that everything seemed ok.
Went to the dentist saturday for a check up, main reason for this was because i was worried about mouth cancer, he checked me and said everything was ok apart from a filling i need. Again this put my mind at ease.
Now last night and today i have started worrying about something else, i am thinking that i have a tumor in my neck or voice box, i am obsessing about this today, i did have a viral infection 3 weeks ago(cough, cold, sore throat) still have a bit of a blocked up nose now and notice occasionally if i cough i get a sharp pain behind my ear, cannot feel anything in my throat, but sometimes when i swallow i feel like everything has not gone down and have to swollow again.
I feel like i am going mad, why do i keep finding things wrong with me. I do smoke, which i think is increasing my anxiety because everyone knows the dangers of smoking, but again im only 27 and i know anything like this at my age would be uncommon.
