[quote=Anonymous]I had a pretty serious issue develop in my 20s that required major lung surgery and would have potentially been fatal but for the surgery. It was incredibly stressful at the time, and the stress of the problem coming back was almost like PTSD. I ultimately got therapy to deal with the health anxiety. While my health issue felt “special,” in reality it wasn’t because a lot of people have to deal with bullshit health problems when they’re young that can come back. I learned to distract myself (with anything- online shopping, binge watching a tv show, etc) when I felt anxious and that helped a lot. I also learned that I’m that person who needs to make appts with doctors as soon as a symptom arises- and that’s fine bc it eases my anxiety. Good luck OP- you won’t find the answer on the internet so stop searching, and try to distract yourself with something else and talk to a doctor about your concerns.[/quote]
