Ok, relaaaax! You're fine. Calm down, take a deep breath, it's going to be ok. As a fellow health anxiety sufferer, I understand completely how you feel. Often when there's a lot going on in our lives, we're stressed out, we tend to focus on our health and subconciously think that we have some major illness. Your symptoms sound like someone who's suffering from anxiety, it can be horribly draining and do a real number on your body. If your symptoms persist, go and see a doctor. I would stronly discourage you from symptom surfing on the net. I've stopped myself from doing this and consequently, stopped A LOT of panick attacks from coming on. I would suggest you do the same.
