I have health anxieties so I am the first to admit that I do stress sometimes unnecessarily. My mum has for some years been told that her billirubin levels are slightly raised but within the normal range. I at the time googled and suggested gilberts syndrome. Dr didn't want to do anything further. Of recent time I have become very anxious about the possibility that my mum could have contracted hep c through a blood transfusion she had 40 years ago. In the last week she to me has looked a little orange ( noticed her eyes maybe a little yellow and her scalp a little orange) Decided to mention my concerns to her including hep c. She has just been for her bp check with dr and mentioned whether she needed a blood test for pernicious anemia ( it runs in our family) but forgot to mention hep c. Dr said no rush to do. I have said a couple of times she to me looks a little jaundice but she said dr remarked that she looked in good shape. I feel so responsible but at the same time no my judgement is not always good due to anxiety. I have offered to make an appointment for blood test. But she said she will do in her own time and to stop stressing . Wwyd?

I am in such a terrible state- should I be doing more?
