Hi Chris,

I know where you are coming from. If I have a pain in my leg I think its a blood clot, if I have a headache its a brain tumour, if I have a sore mouth I am having a stroke and if I have a pain in my chest its breast cancer and so on.

Also the most recent is if I have shoulder pain that its cancer, due to my uncle at 80 developing cancer of the bones and lung cancer. I lnow this is completely normal for people suffering from anxiety etc to do this, you get a symptom that you think the worst.

I think you have to remember that your mind does work overtime and that you should go to your GP and explain and they will reassure you (we mine does)!!!

i only ever worry about having one thing wrong with me , and it never changes ,into something different , and i agree the more you think about it the more symptoms relating to the condition you tend to think you have appear.
