Unhappy I need help to get over this...

Okay,
well to start of I am 14. I have always had a healthy lifestyle. I have no lineage of cancer in my family. I have never smoke, drank, revcieved 2nd hand smoke or anything. I just seem to have a fear of dying of cancer. In january i was so stressed over cancer (brain tumor) that i got a blood test. and not one blood count (ensymes, white count, red count, every single vitamin) everything was tip top perfect. My doctor said people would kill for my blood results. He said dont worry, your healthy. the next day all my stress induced cancer symptoms went away. The one thing that had caused my headaches. m.y.s.p.a.c.e. mainly. i got back to cause i thought, hey if im perfectly healthy. why not give it another try? well it caused me different symtpoms this time, i deleted my m.y.s.p.a.c.e. again. and over the past two months, had done that same thing two times. well now m.y.s.p.a.c.e. is blocked. but just the fear of dying is lowering my immune system. it scares me because i read people that have been going through trauma have a 240% higher chance of developing cancer. well about a month ago i found a small probrably one two centimeter lump where my ribs meet my breastbone. (to be more precise its right about a centimeter to the right of where the pressure point is at the bottom of your sternum)i went to the doctor and he said it was soft and tissuey, and i also told him i had recently been hit by accident very very hard in that same area. he told me it would probrably take 6 months to heal because that is a very sensitive area. another issue is that in my stomach it feels like every once in a while during the day if an invisible man had punched me in my stomach. (no indegestion, heartburn upset stomach) unless after i eat i worry about it. anybody have any answers to that? but the main thing im worried about. is for the past three months, my right shoulderblade. if i move the joint ( i guess its a joint or a socket) it cracks and pops about 7 to 8 times and hurts very painfully. the only place where u can make it hurt from the outside is the muscle on the left side of the right shoulderblade closest to the spine. three days ago after i slamed into the goat cart wall in concord pretty hard i woke up. and when i breathed to the very last fullest almost too much air point, it felt like my lung was pushing against my shoulderblade or vice versa. so then i started worrying about lung cancer. i have researched so much about cancer in the past 4 months i know, that lung cancer doesnt just pop outa knowhere. its extremely rare for kids that have never smoked, never had 2nd hand smoked, anybody thats my age, and never been around and abestos or radon or anything.but its sorta better since yesterday. and i do not feel it at all during the day because even if i take a deep breath, i dont feel it its only when i take so much air in its like, to the fullest fullest extent where like you have taken it the maximum capacity for air. and its only when im sitting slouched and than i breath the maximum capacity. i just hope you can clear those things for me. Lump on sternum, stomach, and shoulderblade pain.

please i seriously need to get on with my life its been three months of hypochondria...
it stinks.
other than that i feel great.


thanks so much,


Allen

Re: I need help to get over this...

allen, i'am so sorry that at 14 you are so consumed by these worries. this should be a time of carefree fun for you. it sounds that you are healthy. stress can cause some of these symptoms that you are describing. have you tried talking to your parents about your concerns?
also counseling may be something that might help. sometimes just being able to vent some of your worries or stresses can help alot. i wish you the best of luck. keep us posted on how you are doing.

Re: I need help to get over this...

Allen,
Excessive worry about health (or anything else, for that matter) is a form of anxiety disorder. It is treatable, with either medication or talk therapy or possibly both.

No one really understands why some people are more prone to anxiety than others, but it is possibly caused by a chemical imbalance in the body. It is an illness...no different than having diabetes or any other illness, and is nothing to be ashamed of, but it will cause you problems if left untreated. I urge you to talk to your parents about this and ask them to get you some help. If you can treat this now, before it becomes an entrenched negative habit, your life will be a much happier one in the long run.

Good luck, and do post back and let us know what happens.

Ruth
