In health anxiety we misinterpret physical symptoms (pain etc ) as threatening for our health. Person without health anxiety would acknowledge these symptoms and would ignore them but you acknowledge these symptoms and add your additional interpretation (that certainly I am going to die or any other physical problems?) .You can challenge your this additional interpretation by asking yourself question (where is any proof or evidence or anti evidence that I am going die or have any health issues And for I am not going to die or have health issues ? Second increase your tolerance towards your anxiety and these symptoms.

It looks like that you are going through some stress and unable to find a solution nor that you can discuss with your first circle of family and friends..
It is better to seek a professional support to share and discuss your concerns and to get a clarity..
Consult a psychological Counselor..

It would be advisable to consult a physician to rule out any physiological reason for this discomfort and pain. If your reports are clear then there is likely a psychological cause for these physical symptoms. In which case you should consult a therapist
