Hi everyone, I worry about all these little aches and pains and search them all on the internet, which I know that is not good, but I brought myself to the conclusion that something serious is wrong with me. Sometimes I get little pains in my chest. I think about appendicitis a lot, so it seems ever since i read about it I get pains around that area. My pains are not intense, they are very mild actually but I over react as soon as i get them because I assume I am in for the worst. I just don't know when I will have to go see a doctor. like are my pains something I should worry about? I get my abdominal pain on my low right and equally on my low left side. I never had pains there before and than like 2-3 months ago I read about appendicitis and scared myself horribly and now out of the blue i get little pains... is it possible that I am so worried about it and think about it so much that I make myself think I have the pains or what? I do know in reality it is not appendicitis because it would be very painfull and it would have happened by now, but i just don't know how to get past this and stop worrying about it. Anyone have any suggestions on what i should do???

I'm not a doctor, but I believe that is just nerves. Your not the only one that goes through this. Sometimes it's just worrying that you could get something and then, after reading it... your mind tells you that this is it. When it actually isn't. I would suggest after about 2 weeks, after reading on something else. if you still notice the pains from this, then go to a doctor. If you experience something connected to what you are reading then... well, it's just nerves.
