German term or phrase: Körpermissempfindung
This is from a chart on the mechanisms of panic disorder, referring to the psychophysiological model of Clark, 1986; Margraf and Ehlers, 1989:

Hypervigilanz für **Körpermissempfindungen** (reduzierte Wahrnehmungsschwelle) → Bewertung von **Körpermissempfindungen** als bedrohlich («Ich könnte einen Herzinfarkt haben!») → Angst/Panik → vegetative (Stress-)Reaktion → Intensivierung vorhandener Körpersymptome

It seems to mean just "bodily sensation," but that would also be "Körperempfindung", whereas "Missempfindung" is translated much more specifically (per dictionaries) as variously dysesthesia or paresthesia. Am I missing something?

(The references mentioned, Clark and Margraf & Ehlers, do not use any term other than bodily sensation, so far as I can tell. The latter reference is not available online in a searchable format.)

Somatosensory Amplification


Explanation:
Somatosensory Amplification(SA) is a tendency to perceive normal somatic and visceral sensations as being relatively intense, disturbing and noxious. It is a common feature of hypochondriasis and is commonly found with fibromyalgia, major depressive disorder, some anxiety disorders, Asperger syndrome, and alexithymia.[1][2][3][4] One common clinical measure of SA is the Somatosensory Amplification Scale (SSAS).

uncued/misinterpreted bodily sensations


Explanation:
Some sources suggest paresthesia but I think we have to cast a wider net

physical discomfort


Explanation:
I am not familiar with the hypotheses and publications of the cited authors, but would just like to throw in some common translation of "Körper-" and "Missempfindungen".
