I broke down today. It has been difficult for me to deal with health anxiety. It all started with the diagnosis of ectopic heartbeats which doctors told me they are benign but they don't feel so. I was diagnosed with gastritis 3 years ago as well and it has progressed to chronic gastritis.

Problem is I feel I am safe in my country where hospitals are just a short distance away. When I thought of travelling , I started to think of possible scenarios I could land myself in and couldn't get any help in time. I don't know how to deal with this anymore. I am suppose to travel and unwind but it has became a total struggle for me mentally. Anyone deal with this before and manged to overcome ? Please help me. I feel so stuck in my life. Fear paranoia and inconvenience they cause in my life.

My stomach is weird. I was diagnosed with gasritis 3 years ago and the symptoms are still quite mild. But these symptoms started few months ago. Whenever I delayed my meal my stomach will churn and start to become pain and the moment I put food inside , the pain will be relieved. I have to put food inside every 4 hrs to avoid the gnawing pain. Is it possible it has progressed to ulcer ? Is it advisable to get endoscopy again ? PPI did nothing to help but gives me burning pain.
