Health Anxiety

Hi I'm a teenager who has always been at a good health my whole live but since we have been in lockdown in scotland I've been constantly worrying about health scares mostly cancer. I am searching up a lot of the symptoms on the internet. I every time I have mild headaches that have happened for a few days I will get worried about a tumor I am unsure what to do. Even the slightest pain that happens in a specific part in my body I will get concerned then I will eventually mistake it for something else then stop worrying. Im just wanting opinions from everyone on what to do. Thanks

  • Well, this is an opinion from a cancer sufferer. See a doctor for your health anxiety, stop using dr google and stop looking at cancer forums when there is no reason to do so. I’m sad that a teenager should even be thinking of posting in a cancer forum. Do you have any idea at all what the rest of us would give to have good health? We are here be because we actually have cancer. I’m sure that’s not what you want to hear, but seriously?
