      Just think to your self say u have chest pain the obvious thing your going to think of is heart attack were is the evidence that your having 1 u would know if u was having a heart attack u wouldn't be think sh*# I think am having heart attack you would be on floor clenching your chest in mega pain 

      And many other things too were is the evidence your having it there is non at all if you have had ecgs and blood works done these no need to worry your in the clear it's your brain trying to protect u it's quite mate if u think of it all ways on edge picking different things up then u worry more then back to square 1 panicking again and then the symptoms come it's just like a round about

    I have not heard of exposure therapy.  How does that work?  So sorry you ended up in hospital, that must have been awful for you.
