What's happening?

Hi first time on here and feeling anxious. I don't know what's happened it's not like I've had PTSD but lately I seem to stress or overthink the minute I feel some sort of ailment. When this happens my brain goes into a spin and sit there thinking what the hell it could be. Currently sitting here worried that something is not right with me, because I feel like I have a sore leg, my tongue feels strange and I think my tear duct is dry. I say I think I feel these because I'm not sure if it's a symptom of panic or phantom because I'm thinking them up.
Never used to be like this. I used to have the patience of waiting to see if things would pass or otherwise take action.
At the same time I'm scared of going to the GP sounding stupid or that there could actually be something.
Anyone else ever feel like this?

Hi Mary
Sorry it's taken so long to reply. Well it took practically 3 months to find out what is medically wrong with me.
Found out I have uterine fibroids but mine is a fair size that could mean having an operation to cut it out but while they do it, if it doesn't work they'd have to do a hysterectomy. So that really hasn't helped at the moment.
So apart from covid I've just been trying to deal with this information along with dealing with dad's health needs. Have to take him for a urologist procedure on Monday. His anxiety levels have been through the roof so it's been getting tiring.
Now with this god forsaken covid it just feels like everyone around me is falling apart. I see both my parents and brother are a nervous wreck.
Just trying to keep my head above water at the moment. And seems like with me isolating my gym friends have forgotten about me & the gym owner doesn't want me instructing zumba at the moment:-(
Sorry I don't have great news at the moment.
But hope you're doing ok.
