I'm new to all of this relatively speaking however have had slight brushes with Health Anxiety / Hypochondria in the past and all the debates with my Doctor that go with this.
Over the last three to four weeks I have developed a sore pain in my right hand side lower rib with various back pains and my Doctor has again put it down to anxiety , I know myself Iam stressed out and at a low ebb.
Is it possible with such as Health Anxiety to have "real pain" and various symptoms which can be there largely all the time over a number of weeks.
Every twinge I get in additio too the sore ribs I associate with anothe symptom of something Ive read until I'm worried sick and latching on to all the worst case scenarios.
Can anyone offer any words of comfort / advice in this regard
