Severe health anxiety

Question

Asked for Female, 20 Years

I suffer from severe health anxiety. I feel like i have some dangerous undiagnosed disease. I have burning sensation all though my body, pain at multiple points, tingling and numbness, i tested for a cbc which showed normal wbc, rbc and platelet count. My vitamin d is too less that is 9.8. I also did serum ferritin which is borderline 149. I am getting panic attacks. Googling symptoms is making me feel worse. This health anxiety is killing me.

The first thing a person with illness anxiety shouldnot be doing is googling symptoms. Please stop that and visit any psychiatrist nearby. Illness anxiety or hypochondriasis is treatable.
