Hi,
I had my health anxiety under control. Winter of 2019 was my last episode where I feared a bad disease (turned out to be nothing) Last week something happened.
I had been feeling unwell for a couple weeks or so, had a cough, sore throat, slight fever. I fell asleep on the couch and around 1am I woke up feeling cold. I then went upstairs to bed and got under 1 sheet and 2 blankets. I awoke a few hours later sweating….the bed was wet under my chest and legs. I have never experienced this before. I managed to fall back asleep and woke up in the morning feeling fine. I instantly got a fear of lymphoma.
The past 4 nights I have gone to bed and awoken fine, no sweating but this has crippled me. I am afraid to go to bed now thinking I will wake up in a cold sweat again and get a rush of health anxiety.
Can this one episode be a symptom of cancer? I feel ok otherwise but this was one of my worries years ago. I don’t feel any enlarged lymph nodes either but I’m scared.
Any thoughts?
TIA
