Exp this past week! i Started out by waking up with REALLY inflamed gums/ swollen salivary glands HURTING! .. wow to my knowledge i was dying i have cancer in my mouth and throat i completly thought! i went to a oral surgeon who told me  i was biting the heck out of my cheeks prob from nerves and i must of had sum kind of littleinfection in my gums and the rinse with peridex! That wasent enough for me though and still isent  i went to my reg doc and she told me the same thing i dont have cancer and ill be ok BUT I ONTBELIEVE IT .. my mouth feels a little better but he last three days i have been very weak i dont know if its b.c i been in bed constantnly /dwelling/sleeping or if is b.c im really ill . Following along with that i have had a headache for three days also  ON TOP OF THAT  im loosing so much weight im 5'3 started off about 120 a few months ago now im down to 108 109 id say . so now im convinced if its not cancer itssome kind of infection / tumor im nt sure i wish i knew i feel like the only way to calm myself down is to get a xray of my mouth n jaw but my fam thinks i am out of control and go to the doc way to much!! i dont know what to do anymore.. im really not feelng good at all i just feel like im gunna faint n die I DONT KNOW whats going on i wish i had the answers !!

    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.
