Anxiety or something more

I went to the walk in clinic the other day for bruising I've had for a couple months (it's got worse) and heavy bleeding.. he said he couldn't do anything and scared me with how I could have blood diseases or leukemia.. well I went over to the ER cause I was just freaked out and wanted to know what was going on. He did a full blood count with diff, liver test, tested to see if I was low on vitamins, he came back and said everything was perfect. (His words) well that night I went home and my whole body started to ache, and I got a low fever that only lasted a few hours until I took meds and then it never came back. Well since then I just haven't felt well, I feel really sick when I eat, my cheeks get flushed, I get random pains through out my body and I have been going to the bathroom like crazy. I have a severe severe hypochondriac, I have severe anxiety and panic attacks. Could this all be from stress of worrying I may have cancer still? Or maybe I picked up a bug? I just need some sort of answer. I see my OBGYN Monday for the bleeding. I just feel like maybe it's not leukemia, it may be lymphoma, or any other cancer. I feel like I'm going crazy.

"I have a severe severe hypochondriac, I have severe anxiety and panic attacks"
When did the panic and anxiety start?

You likely didn't pick up a bunch of diseases at the same time, but over-analyzing your body makes you tense up with fear and you start keeping more track of what you think is a "symptom."  If the doc said there is nothing wrong physically, then you are free to enjoy your life if you can stop worrying about it.

All those "symptoms" are likely just over-analysis of things you used to get before like everyone else gets, and tensing up with fear.

I've had anxiety since I was 7 years old. It gets worse as I get older
You are experienced with anxiety, and mentioned that you are a hypochondriac, so do you take therapy sessions to learn ways to deal with the issues?
