Health Anxiety after spontaneous pneumothorax

Hi,

So basically middle of last month I suffered a spontaneous pneumothorax on the 16th of February was in hospital for 3 days all went well 6 x-rays later, as well as a ultrasound and three blood test I was discharged,

Prior to this I was fairly active gym multiple times a week, soccer pre season beginning and started to go on runs, however the month of January I did take a bit over a gram worth of mdma at rave events and the last time I took it end of January I had a bad experience and had too much at once leading to and overwhelming amount of fear and had to sit down and relax myself had not happened before,

Basically two and a bit weeks after that I had the collapsed lung it was fairly large 8.6cm and they put the chest tube in and I felt relatively safe in hospital for those few days I was there, they did and ultrasound when I was still in emergency, and that was fine as well as three blood test over the three days and all of those were normal,

Since coming out I’ve been hyper alert of pretty much anything happening with my body, the first few days I was scanning to make sure my lung hadn’t collapsed again that fear is gone now, as I had a follow up with the specialist they did a front and side x ray and no sign of a collapse or anything irregular, as well as a lung function test which I scored 95%,

However since coming out I’ve had symptoms such as headaches here and there, and out of it type of sensation usually feeling spaced out which last maybe like an hour and then goes away, usually happens when I’m at work in retail, tooth pain when drinking beer on the left side but not always and not with spirits as well as getting flushed sometimes after drinking the beer but not spirts only occurs sometimes, but pre hospital didn’t experience any of this,

As well as a mole that was on my upper soft pallet that a dentist spotted around 2mm it’s since been removed and sent for a biopsy but oral surgeon doesn’t seem worried as I didn’t even know it was there prior to her spotting it,

I started going to the gym around the end of July start of August I weighed around 70-69kg and didn’t really take my diet seriously but still noticed weight loss then 1st of January decided I was gonna take the diet seriously so was eating whole foods and lots of protein saw a drop in my weight to around 63kg by the time my lung collapsed for reference I’m 180cm so I’m on the leaner side and now I weight around 62kg but haven’t been active since the middle of Feb 0 physical activity apart from walking, feel like a former version of myself just started uni I’m 20 and all I want to do is feel normal I have this fear that maybe they missed something and I have this cancer or that cancer that’s why this and this has happened, I’ve felt like this a few years ago but I think it’s sparked again cause something actually did go wrong the collapsed lung the last time I had a pretty rough breakup on my metal health during Covid and that’s what I think triggered my last episode like this,

I’m seeing someone about my anxiety in a few days I feel I may have OCD because throughout the years I have developed rituals which come and go and which i need to do so will mention that to her as well as once I get a thought in my head or a symptom I have to search it up look at it worry and then just feel hopeless, writing this makes me feel a lot better but any clarity or personal experiences like mine would help a lot.

Thanks
