Does anyone suffer with pains or weird feelings in their upper back?

It started off just feeling like something was pressing in my back as if I was leaning on something etc, but now I am having some pain (not constant) and aches. It's the right side , upper to middle of my back.

Of course I've googled and have every type of cancer you could possibly have.

Going out of my mind with worry.

(I have suffered with health anxiety for around 6 months now and have convinced myself I am dying over numerous things in that time) I feel like my family are getting annoyed with me everytime I mention something new and think I'm being silly but to me each thing I find is 'real' to me.

I had panic attack the other night when I was worrying about the pain in my back and couldn't stop crying over it.
