Yep, you're not the only one!

I used to be super conscious about my health, being super scared of doctors and hospitals. Whenever I felt something different, I would think something is wrong with me. Over the past year or so (I'm 18 now), that anxiety has slowly faded away though.

If you've been for ECG's and such, there should be nothing to worry about!

Hope this makes you feel a little better!

Tom
