I have been prescribed Amitryptline by my GP for severe Health anxiety and am on day 3. I now wondering how it will help if I still think I am ill?? I have a lot of red flag symptoms for the cancer I think I have but GP has put them down to other separate conditions that I have had in the past
Eg headache is tension headache, dizziness is vestibular neuritis, numbness in arm is anxiety, pressure in head is sinuses, weird phantom smells is long covid etc. I am so worried that this is going to mean the real condition is not diagnosed. GP says she doesn’t need to see me. I usually cannot get closure on a health anxiety flare up unless it is investigated and proved to be all ok. Has anyone got to the stage where they just accepted they weren’t really ill and ignored symptoms without a full medical investigation?
