I deal with health anxiety and am battling a chest cold

I have severe anxiety around health issues, mainly my heart/chest. I’m dealing with a chest cold that’s causing me slight issues with breathing and I keep reminding myself that that’s one of the main symptoms of a chest cold but my mind spirals to the most extreme outcomes like heart attacks and strokes. I’m only 23 and have had EKGS and chest X-rays and such a while ago which have shown no signs of anything like that. I had high blood pressure but right now it’s been under control. prior to posting this it is at 100/70. i just need some support to let me know that every single ache or pain isnt a death sentence. I’m also nearing my period and the week prior to it my anxiety goes way up so I know that’s contributing to my anxiety
