Answers:
Do you know someone who had cancer etc that has made you feel this way!. I watched two relatives die of cancer and it had an awful effect on me and I couldn't stop worrying!. You need to get this under control as constant worrying is not good for you!. Every time you think a negative thought you need to replace it with a positive one and gradually you will think less and less!. e!.g!. Is my headache a brain tumour!? no its a stress headache that will be gone in a few hours etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Just remind yourself that there is no sense in worry too much about sickness!. If you go to the doctor to have regular checkups, then the doctors would catch something if it was there!. Catching things early are a good thing!. Also, if there isn't a history of it running in your family, then you really don't need to worry about it!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
I used to be like that and I'm getting help for it, I went to the dr and found out I have generalized anxiety disorder, I was given xanax to take on an as needed basis and am talking to a counselor once every 2 weeks, since I saw the dr and was reassured I was fine, I have noticed a HUGE decrease in my obsessive behavior towards my health!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Worrying is not going to help your health at all!. If it would make you feel better go get a checkup from your Doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
