Sorry to hear that your daughter is going through such a hard time right now.  I suffer from health anxiety and it is horrible.

Please take your dr to a therapist.  They will help get to the bottom of what is causing her anxiety and teach her coping skills to deal with it and hopefully overcome it.  

Has she had any traumatic events happen in her life recently that you  think might be a trigger for this?  

Please take her and get her help now before it escalates....

Lots of luck to you and your daughter....

this sounds like a serious anxiety issue.  There is something called hypochondria where you think you have serious illnesses from little symptoms that really mean nothing.  Growing up I had a phobia of being sick and I didnt reach out for help until I was 16 and I really regret letting my fear getting so out of hand for so long.  Maybe have her see a therapist..i think that is reasonable for a 10 year old. If this is starting to become debilitating, then definitely seek help sooner or later for the benefit of your daughter
