30 Folks Open Up About Strange Symptoms That They Thought Were Normal but Were Actually Medical Issues

Have you ever had that mildest symptom that caused you to run frantically to the internet, only to convince yourself that you had cancer? I mean, you practically saw your life flash before your eyes, cried a lot, and planned all the funeral arrangements. But then, miraculously, 24 hours later, that symptom vanished, and you realized you were just being a bit, well, dramatic. It's not just me, right? (I know it's not.)

But imagine, what if your worst nightmare actually came true, and you weren't being dramatic at all? (Me, a hypochondriac, does not need to hear this.) Well, that's exactly what happened to these folks on Reddit. OP took to r/NoStupidQuestions after they discovered they too are a tad dramatic and have absolutely no idea what the human body is supposed to feel like. They asked fellow Redditors what the oddest symptoms that they thought were normal, but then actually turned out to be a medical issue (AKA, my worst nightmare.)

I can't say this Reddit thread magically cured the OP or the rest of us who tend to jump to worst-case scenarios. But it's a pretty darn interesting read. Who knows, maybe you're going through a similar situation as one of these folks, and this little scroll sesh helps you figure things out. Or, you know, maybe it's just a gentle reminder to drop by the doc's office once in a blue moon – can't hurt, right?
