Title/TW: "I'm &gt;!dying!&lt;? (but not really)"

Hi fellow anxieteers,

I'm sure there are a million other posts just like this one, but I could really use some reassurance right now. About two weeks ago I started feeling this uncomfortable (though not unbearable) pinching/fullness sensation under my left armpit. I didn't really pay any mind to it until a week ago when I thought to myself "well what if it's some kind of prolonged heart attack?"

And of course, as you can imagine I've pretty much spiraled from there. I'll go from forgetting about it (and feeling fine) to hopping on WebMD or whatever again and discovering some new symptom that I'll suddenly start feeling.

Y'all get this too, right? Like if I was *actually* dying I'd pretty much know...? Of course, I've also got a pretty steep phobia of the doctor's office and hospitals 😐 but I *did* contact my doctor to see if any bloodwork could be done to rule out anything heart-related (and we've done tests before--an ECG and ambulatory BP monitor, both in the last 2 years I believe--that came back regular). And FWIW: 29 y/o M, 5'10", 210 lbs but otherwise in pretty good health overall besides the anxiety for which I'm taking (and have recently increased) meds.

Any tips for getting through this especially turbulent bout of health anxiety brought on by, I don't know, probably just sleeping on my arm wrong or something? Thanks in advance ❤️
