Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

I understand that you are going through a stressful time because of your negative thinking pattern and your excessive fears / anxiety about having a major health problem. Your symptoms seem to be indicative of an anxiety disorder. You do need to consult a psychiatrist for a detailed psychological assessment and further treatment. There are effective treatment options - in the form of medication or counselling / psychotherapy which will help you overcome these fears and negative thoughts.

Best wishes,
Dr. Sheeba Stephen

hello

welcome to health care magic

You possibly have "obsessive compulsive disorder" or "obsessive compulsive spectrum disorder- hypochondriasis".
OCD consists of repeated thoughts (obsessions) and compulsive behaviour (not essential). I advise you to consult a psychiatrist for detailed evaluation, diagnosis and management.
Hope it helps
Good Luck
Thanks
