  • Hi, 

    Anyone is welcome here it's good that you've came to a place where you can discuss your worries with other people as it can help relieve the stress. The fact that your GP could not see anything is a good sign and that she's sending you for a test anyway is good for your piece of mind so you know that nothing will be missed. Dr Google isn't the best idea as it will always lead you to the worst possibility first try to stay away from googling your symptoms and just get in contact with the GP if you have any changes in health that are worrying you. Just make sure you keep a note of your symptoms too to see if there are any changes or just to make sure you remember to tell your GP about them. Hopefully all goes well with the tests and it's nothing to worry about. Try and take your mind off it for now and focus on doing stuff you love and enjoy to help relax. 
     

    I'll pray for you to have good results, keep on smiling :).
