About 2.5 months ago I started having health issues. Went to the doctors but it took them awhile to figure out what was going on. Started with new onset of headaches, then changes in bowel movements, stomach aches, and then terrible back pain. These symptoms gradually appeared throughout the two months and the back pain and stomach aches got worse.

Finally found out today that I have an HPylori infection and am starting antibiotics tomorrow. Over the course of the two months my anxiety has been at an all time high, the fear of not knowing what was going on with my body and the pain made me scared I was dying or something. Manifested as health anxiety. Now I'm thinking of withdrawing from the semester to focus on getting better, and healing mentally but I feel bad.. like I'm over exaggerating.
