Always feel like there’s something wrong with my health.

Well to start this off I’m 18 and I’ve just recently gotten checked up at the doctor and they say I’m very healthy but I always seem to have some ache in my body. Currently my neck has been so tense and hurting so has my ear it feels achey and now my jaw hurts on the right side and my throat feels weird like something is in it and when I swallow hurts a little or idk how to explain it but it kinda hurts under my jaw and right side of my throat but I felt it and everything seems normal so did my mom who’s a nurse. I’m just scared and worry to much I have no clue what to do. Thank you.

Muscle tension can definitely attribute to all sorts of weird aches and pains. As anxiety sufferers we’re also very in tune with our bodies which leads us to notice every little ache or pain when someone without anxiety may shrug it off. What I try and do is acknowledge it’s there, then assess if I need to see a doctor and wait a week to see if it goes away on its own. It often does!
