I've convinced myself I have a serious fatal illness and I'm not sure what to do. Deep down I know that maybe I'm over reacting but the fear is real. Last week I started with pain in my upper back and my right side. This persisted for a few days, then I started to get a sharp pain in my right side but lower down towards my back but only when swallowing say a drink, not food. The pain in drinking is still there like a sharp pain. I just another post somewhere about someone who had an aortic dissection and now I'm consumed with the thoughts that this is happening to me and I've worked myself into a panic and I'm convinced I'm going to I die suddenly from this. Has anyone else had anything like this?
Just to add I do have diagnosed gallstones but this IS NOT that. I just know it's not because it's a different kind of pain and I've had them for three years. I do have diagnosed OCD and anxiety but I've been well for a long time now. I just can't shake this feeling something is seriously wrong.
