It's called Health anxiety (sometimes called hypochondria) is when you spend so much time worrying you're ill, or about getting ill.

constantly worry about your health

frequently check your body for signs of illness, such as lumps, tingling or pain

always asking people for reassurance that you're not ill

worry that your doctor or medical tests may have missed something

obsessively look at health information on the internet or in the media

avoid anything to do with serious illness, such as medical TV programmes

act as if you were ill (for example, avoiding physical activities)

Anxiety itself can cause symptoms like headaches or a racing heartbeat, and you may mistake these for signs of illness.

The way to beat it is to challenge your thoughts. I also suffer from the things you said which blow a full panic attack but I'm trying to beat it with my thoughts.

Im not sure why this happens, but it happens to highly sensitive folks more often than not.

It took me YEARS to get over something I heard on TV about kids in Japan and cartoons.

NOT going to write it out......

You will have to use logic and common sense, to counter these repetitive thoughts, and acceptance of the feelings that come along with it.
