I'm so sorry that you are going through this as I also have some hypochondriac issues due to my OCD. EVERYTHING you described can be explained by anxiety. I bite my cheeks too when I get nervous and nearly everyone gets headaches when they are nervous. Losing weight can be a symptom of anxiety or from switching medication. I was on a medication that caused me to gain 30 pounds. After stopping, I lost 40 pounds in two months. Haha, I am now EXACTALLY your size. 5 ft 3 in and 109 pounds!
Anyway, I noticed you were looking at the cancer forums. Please don't go looking for symptoms that are not truly there. It is not going to help.
