I do the same thing, too. It always helps to have a separate, objective person provide some reassurance. I was obsessing a good bit just yesterday about heartburn/reflux, and just knew I was probably on my way to getting esophageal cancer. It's been in the news a lot down here lately.

My husband said he really didn't think I was probably dying of anything just yet. . . . but that I should be very alert and hypervigilant just in case advanced cancer truly did come on real quickly. After that, I calmed down. (And smacked him with a pillow.)
birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . I think my right lung hurts.. Ok I'm not sure what it is but something on the right side of my mid-body hurts. It doesnt hurt all the time but when ever I get done smokin or ocasionally in a day when nothing is goin on it just begins to hurt like some body stabbed me there lightly. Any idea what might be goin on? Rating: 5
