"What ifs" creeping in

So, I'd posted a bit ago that after many, many doctor visits over the past 4 months, medications and endoscopes, some small tonsil stones and a canker sore were found on my right tonsil - which did not give my worried mind the relief I had hoped for.
This past week I have been more tired than usual, which if I try to logic and reason with myself I can look at objectively and see that my whole household has been more tired than usual since the time change. My husband came home from work today and passed out in our bed and is still sleeping despite out kids making noise and trying to wake him. My daughter woke up feeling achy, tired, headach-y and a bit under the weather this morning. And my son has fallen asleep before his bedtime twice so far this week.
But of course, in my mind - something is wrong with me and I must have cancer - why else would the sore throat and fatigue be present.
Reason does not seem to be winning this fight. Distraction works for a little while, but not long enough. And I find myself monitoring my body frequently and thinking "what if" more than I care to.
Anyone else with health anxiety have tip/suggestions of what is helpful for them at times like these?

Hi searching1. Sorry to hear that you're still struggling with health anxiety. Are you doing any treatment for the tonsil stones? That might give your mind some relief if you can control those symptoms. It does seem reasonable to me that tonsil stones are why you have a sore throat and that the anxiety you have could definitely be causing fatigue. Hang in there, I think you can overcome this anxiety. Luckily I've had some good days lately. Perhaps my change of medication starting to take effect. One week ago now I switched from paxil to lexapro. I'm also trying to take better care of my overall health. I recently quit smoking and I also quit drinking soda. I'm starting a low carb diet to get rid of some of my excess weight. I don't mean to push my opinions like i'm somebody that has all the answers, but I just hope that maybe if I improve my physical health that could benefit my mental health as well. We're in this together. Take care.

Yeah anything positive that you can do for yourself may end up helping your anxiety without you realizing it. You're right you don't want to put too much stress on yourself or that might make your anxiety worse. Yeah with dieting especially you have to remind yourself even if you make a mistake you just get right back on track and keep at it. It's the long term change that matters more than a few mistakes. Remember we can't change everything overnight, we just take it one day at a time.
