HI
Im Anthony, I started having health anxiety November last year when I found a lump in my mouth. Automatically i thought it was cancer and it turned out to be just a mucus cyst which is benign.
But ever since I have become paranoid that I have cancer and spend hours looking and inspecting my mouth been to the dentists 3 times in the last 2months (He must think that i am crazy). As everytime it turns out to be nothing to worry about.
I have been currently getting a tingling sensation in my ear which started a month ago which has started to get better over the last week. I have now found a lump at thr back of my mouth near my tnsil which I have a doctor appointment to checj out on Thursday. I am driving my wife crazy as every week I have a different worry or problem with my health.
I never used to worry about my health and have not been too a doctor in ten years but since I found this lump I have become paranoid that I have some terminal illness. Am I going mad?? I just want to stop worry about my health especially as my wife is preganant and she needs my support at the moment as last year she had a miscarriage. I just feel that everything is starting to fall apart.
