Going to the GP about my health anxiety - need reassurance that I am fit and healthy, that the stress is not killing me

I have finally summoned the courage to visit the GP about long standing aches and pains (on and off for 10 years), bodily tension, that I believe is caused by my anxiety. I am thinking about pain all the time, and look out for it even when it isn't there. Minor aches are always magnified in my mind. Having a logical mind, though, I know that a medical will provide the reasurance that I need. If my vital functions are shown to be normal, and if my symptoms are simply caused by anxiety and panic, then CBT will be far more effective - because I will have proof that the stress has not damaged my body.

The thing is, I never visit my GP.The last time I visited was three years ago, whenI became convinced I had *** cancer. I was sent to the hospital for a scan, and there was nothing there. The GP himself told me I was fine, but he knew I wanted reassurance. I hate having hypochondria/health anxiety, and I fear death all the time. I am hoping that this GP visit will cure me of my health anxiety.

  • but in these countries it is pay and go or do not pass go,, but in the UK it is two systems pay and go (private) and NHS wait and see ! The standard of care is falling as we know by experience and the recently 10 hospitals which killed people by mass.

    THE UK IS BASICALLY A SPLIT COUNTRY, those who have and those who do not have again, back to the 1900's again and before, the masters and slaves model.

    I hate the UK ! potential down the drain.

    I am glad emigration stands at 350,000 people every year, although 550,000 cheap labour immigrants come into the UK.  Those 350,000 leaving the UK each year, half of those are graduates and management levels,, the knowledge workers who have sense. But the government london plc does not care because when unhappy people leave the country it prevents revolution, hence the america's  was populated and formed by a revolution outside the UK and Europe, so the same thing is happening again.  So the UK government keeps this fact very quiet... However long-term, I am laughing as 6 million foreign immigrants in a country of 66 million total,, will have an social impact which the government will not be able to control, especially if Romanians and Bulgarias come to the country in next few years... nationalism is rising via UKIP and BNP but this will fail because the European people are already here and with Indian visa's available,, THE UK HAS BASICALLY NO SECURE BORDERS, so it can not defend the social policy , therefore nor provide SOCIAL WELFARE due to expansion costs, and because social change is too quick for the government, so it creates private companies from public assets so it can control the multiple boardroom Chairmans position for further influence and power later on in Europe, as Britain de-centralise it assets(steals from the people). Basically there friends of privy circle OWN Britains assets by carve up corruption.

    I have a plan which I will take down to the chinese embassy Wink, the chinese to offer every graduate or person with technical qualifications a guaranteed job in China, with a new job, a new house and living conditions, called it Chinbritain. Half the country would empty in a minute ! and finding a place for 20 million or so british people in china would just be easy like Hong Kong 2. Lets call it the Great Red Cultural Exchange.

    So what I am saying here is simple, another million or two europeans enter Britain, the balance of social britain has changed so the government of Britain will change or be changed, and Central Europe knows this so it floods Britain with social chaos by political design.
