Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Anxiety is worry about the future happening. Health anxiety is worry about health. With anxiety weird symptoms are associated as in the case with you. That is also called obsession.

You, yourself, quote that when you think about "it", you feel sharp pains. that explains it all. The weakness also is due to the same reason.

Exercise and keeping yourself engaged works wonders in your scenario. Also learn to ignore such symptoms.

I can help you in this aspect. Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement.
