Health anxiety isn't new to me. In my head over the years I've had every cancer and disease you can think of.
I am currently very unwell. It started with what I thought was mouth cancer and then throat cancer. I kept thinking I had things stuck. I went to the doctors who said they weren't even slightly concerned and everything points to panic and reflux. She checked for lumps and looked down my throat.
Now I have developed a constant feeling of something being stuck in my chest. I take gaviscon and sometimes it helps but mostly not. I don't know what is real anymore and what isn't. Today I feel like I can't swallow.
I'm scared to eat and I've lost 5 pounds in two weeks.
This morning I started worrying about cervical cancer so I keep checking my toilet paper and peeing as much as possible just so I can check.
My chest feels horrible. I haven't eaten this morning and I still feel something is in my chest.
I go back to my doctor on Thursday to discuss increasing my meds. But I'm pretty sure I'm dying.
