How to get back to normal?

About 5 years ago I developed a heart condition where my heart would just start racing. I had to be shocked back into normal rhythm many time in the ER. After 3 years they finally fixed my problem with a cardiac ablation. They told me there was only a 5% chance that it would return. It took about a year but I don't worry about that anymore.

But now every time anything feels strange I worry. If i get a headache I think it's a tumor. If I have diarrhea I think it's colon cancer. If my legs hurt I think I have a blockage in them. If I get dizzy I think it's my heart. Now I know my heart is fine because when they where trying to diagnose my heart condition they ran every test on my heart they could and found nothing structurally wrong. And I never felt these things before my heart messed up.

What I want to know is how do I get back to the way I was before I was 33? When I didn't worry about these things.

    you are worrying about this because you are scared in case it happens again you just need to learn to control your worrying and maybe speak to some one and tell them you are worried about it all the time.
