Hi Tom123
These are all classic symptoms of anxiety. I have been like this but I am now on medication and it is not so bad. I suffer with anxiety/panic attacks but I am much older than you and if I'm honest I have been like it for a long time but only put on meds just over a year ago. I still have feelings like you say, imagine all sorts of things at every pain I have, mine is a bad heart at the moment!!! Maybe have a word with your dr about going on some meds to help you through this. I am on citalopram 40mg and they have helped me sooooo much. You will get so much advice on here with this, don't think you are alone in feeling this way. It is easy for me to say you will be fine, but I promise you that you will be. It is absolutely horrible while you are feeling this way, so it is best to get some help with meds from your dr.
I wish you all the very best, but there will be lots of people to help you on this site.

You are not alone will never be judged here. We won't trivialize any fear and we will always listen. I don't have an answer for your fears except to tell you that you are not alone and that your fears really do seem anxiety based.
