So I have health anxiety.

I also read tarot cards.

I asked the cards if I have cancer… I have had no health problems and a recent healthy physical I have no reason to think this.

The first tarot reading said I did have it. The second said yes. The third way I did it, it meant no.

Please help me break this spiral. I halfway believe in this fucking shit and now I’m freaking out because they’ve been right more often than not.

One of my fears is colon cancer and my doc won’t do a colonoscopy because he says my last was fine.

So basically I’m just trying to get a hold of myself that tarot cards can’t predict fucking cancer.

Feel free to be mean about it, I need to get a fucking grip.

For those with similar issues, how have you gotten over health anxiety? The fear consumes me and I’m mostly healthy 😭

I have been having severe chest pain that doesn’t get worse when I breathe and I can still take deep breaths.

I got so uncomfortable a night or two ago I went to the hospital.

They tested my heart enzymes, for blood clots, did an EKG and also a chest xray. Everything is perfect.

I just learned about this condition this morning.

I play video games frequently and bend over to do so, and am constantly on my phone. On top of this I smoke dabs (with a Puffco, on the lowest temp) and cough quite a bit.

Ibuprofen seems to help but Pepcid AC (thought it might be GERD) does not.

I’ve also had that radiating pain under my breast almost to my back.

Does this sound familiar to you guys?

At no point have I not been able to breathe, and sometimes the pain almost feels like anxiety pangs but not quite.

How do they even diagnose this? My xray was fine.

The pain comes and goes but I found the most relief after the shot of toradol at the hospital and after taking ibuprofen yesterday.

The only thing that freaks me out is that sometimes it does feel like chest pressure but it never affects my breathing. It feels more like a burning than a pressure but it’s very uncomfortable. It reminds me trapped gas but more severe and comes and goes.

I’m hoping this sounds familiar to you guys so I can put my worries to rest.

And yes, I have stopped consuming marijuana for now :)

I read that this can be a symptom of LS, but I just saw my gyno on Friday and he said he didn’t see any on my clitoris. He advised that it could be referred pain from my pelvic floor.

From what I can tell this is a much less common symptom of LS. But very common if you have a weak pelvic floor.

Have any of you had clitoral pain from lichen sclerosis? I have no visible symptoms and it doesn’t itch or have little cuts like the other areas I have it in.

Have any of you had sharp pain in your clitoris and it turned out to be from your pelvic floor?

I will say that when I do kegels it helps the pain a lot.

I’m young so I didn’t think it could be my pelvic floor but I’ve been working from home for 6 years and apparently sitting all day can do a number on your pelvic floor :(

Any thoughts or similar experiences?

Thanks!!
