Why do I continue think something is wrong! If I have a pain or a muscle twitch I think I am dying I don't understand it! Do I continue having more tests?

No, you just reinforce the anxiety the more you test and Google. Anxiety feeds off doubt and wants certainty. Every time you give in and go to the doctor, you are feeding the anxiety. I know this myself, it is awful feeling to think you are dying every day. I know that reassurances don't last long, so I am trying to stop seeking then and see if I can lessen my anxiety. Believe me the cure for this stuff takes courage, but living this way is unbearable. I am so tired of being afraid. Hope you feel better!
