The main component of your condition as explained by you is anxiety. If you learn to handle anxiety on your own or with the help of a mental health professional, you can easily come out of your worries. Please understand, most symptoms that you perceive as present in you after you read or hear about any disease that is potentially serious, is often baseless and may be the product of an anxious mind. Going in for a periodic health checkup, ascertaining that the symptoms that you may be facing sometimes may be your own imagination or exaggeration for which using your logical thinking etc. may help you a lot. I would suggest you to visit a psychologist and seek guidance. This will help you in overcoming health anxiety and will be of some direct benefit.

It sounds like you're experiencing health anxiety, which can be very distressing. In the moment, deep breathing exercises can help calm your body's response to anxiety. Additionally, writing down your thoughts in your phone's notes app can provide a sense of relief. Seeking counseling could also be beneficial for addressing these worries on a deeper level and learning healthy coping strategies. Mind Sculpt offers affordable online sessions that may be helpful for you in managing your health anxiety.

Hi, If you find yourself experiencing heightened anxiety and physical symptoms when hearing about others' health issues, it's important to address these feelings. Firstly, try to limit your exposure to triggering content by avoiding excessive consumption of news or social media that focuses on such topics. Engage in mindfulness and relaxation techniques to help manage your anxiety when it arises. Additionally, challenge negative thoughts by reminding yourself that the occurrence of one person's health issue doesn't necessarily mean you'll experience the same. If your anxiety persists and significantly impacts your daily life, consider seeking support from a mental health professional who can assist you in developing coping strategies tailored to your needs.

It might be related to Health Anxiety. You need to understand how emotions builds up, your interpretation to each incident or the event, and the your identification with it and the repeation factor play a critical role in forming these symptoms in your body and mind.
You need to process the thoughts by redefining the interpretation and understanding the temporary behaviour of the thoughts just like the clouds in the sky and waves in the ocean.
After certain period of time you will become completely normal and not affected by such news.
