Sudden anxiety

[Samurai]

I feel sometimes I could have a symptom on and off for many months or even years, but then all of a sudden that one symptom that I've had for ages makes me anxious. Its like the mind just starts to over focus on it.
Does this happen to anyone else ?

I always said it is like we have one big symptom. That will always be there. Until something bigger / new takes its place. Then we have a lot of smaller symptoms. They can change with every bout of anxiety.

All the time. At the moment I am obsessed with a symptom I have had for many years, and I can even explain it, but now it makes me anxious and I fear that it can be a sign of something serious.

I hate my hypochondria.
