Health OCD and CONSTANT checking

Need support/advice

So I have PVC flare ups from time to time since last year.

I’m 26 and I’ve been to the ER twice, been to the doctor countless times since last year. She cleared me a few months ago, then I had a medication switch up that caused a state of panic that lasted for 3 weeks that left me feeling weird nerve sensations after…so I made another visit.

I’ve lost 100lbs within a year just by walking and eating healthy, but now I can’t even walk without checking my pulse in my neck and feeling the PVC’s when they happen. Literally health anxiety is like a constant white noise from the second I wake up til I go to sleep.

What’s worse is that I have a trip to the UK coming up (first time traveling out of the country) and I know I’m gonna be walking and I can’t even be excited…I hate it here.
