Health Anxiety: Anxiety can manifest in bodily concerns for some folks. Football has a certain amount of risk. Consider the risk/benefit ratio for you. Do you enjoy it more than the risk? Consult w/a mental health professional to make sure the symptoms do not shift to some other issue from football. You should like a healthy young guy and the prognosis for this sounds good. Peace and good health.
