Extreme health anxiety

[Beckylat84]

Hello all,

As long as I can remember I have had awful health anxiety.

My current obsessions include a left upper quadrant cramping sensation that I have convinced myself is pancreatic cancer.

Literally making myself insane…doctor did bloodwork which was normal, physical exam(feeling no mass) and blamed it on my IBS…

Can’t tell my brain otherwise at this point and I will be obsessively searching the internet all night…

I would distract yourself and be very careful with your diet. Worrying about that will just make IBS worse. Also Try mediating. All the best

Took a xanex to relax…so obnoxious worrying about some random symptom after another…consuming 😭

I am in the same position but worried about pain under right rib. Obsessed with pancreatic cancer
