1. DONT Google your symptoms. Your keen fingers will always find a way to get to cancer somehow. This is not realistic
2. I find if I have to google something, google 'help with health anxiety'. It redirects your mind to something realistic and can help you better understand how your mind deals with illness
3. This worked especially well for me. I spoke to my doctor about death after lots of health anxiety and he told me that's it's actually really hard for people to die. Our bodies are made strong, and even if something is wrong with our body the likelihood of death from it is super minimal. Try to focus on the joy of being alive and healthy.
4. Therapy. CBT will help you align your thoughts to be more positive.
Good luck!
