Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The description, if it is correct, describes the symptoms of obsessive thoughts. You can not yet properly diagnose it as OCD because this is the beginning stage. You are worried and obsessed with the thoughts of those balls harming your health and that is the reason why you are having these negative thoughts. Nothing to worry. Even if you swallow those small magnets, they shall come out through your evacuation. They cannot harm you. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
