Health anxiety: You use the word 'paranoid' - so don't feel minimized when I recommend psychotherapy specially targeted to health anxiety. A combination of understanding your body better and some basic facts about disease processes and CBT anxiety strategies will help for years to come. I know it's hard to trust in these times - but 2 exams should relieve your concern. Find a good therapist. Best wishes!
