Hey Deano

First things first - don't worry. You are probably just having an anxious spell.

Often it is because you are constantly thinking about your health that you begin to notice all these bodily sensations and with health anxiety misinterpret these to be something terrible.

Your mind is more powerful than you will ever believe and can create a raft of symptoms with no physical basis. I myself was plagued with a sore back, chest and neck pain at different times simpy because I was anxious and then dwelt on all these symptoms. It just makes it worse, when you stop worrying your symptoms will almost always dissapear.

Im sure you'll be fine mate, all the best
