I feel a bit stupid going to the gp when I have nothing to say? AIBU to ignore letter?

I collapsed a couple of weeks ago and was taken Into hospital the reason was very high heart rate (150bpm).
I had loads of tests and things and the cardiologist said that I am healthy - and the heart rate was being made worse by stress and anxiety. He gave me medication to slow it . The whole thing was really embarrassing and I am sure it won't happen again...

My gp has called and sent a letter asking me to come in the end of next week to "chat" about this.

The thing is I have nothing to say. I have no reason to be stressed or anxious , and tbh I don't think there is anything at all he can do to help anyway. It's not a doctor issue as far as I can tell?

I really don't feel like talking to anyone - it's hard to describe but opening my mouth to talk even about the weather or something feels hard at the moment.

I don't want to lug myself to the gp,sit in silence and go home. I just can't face it and there's nothing anyone can do I don't think.

Aibu to just tell them I don't want the appointment I'm not sure if I HAVE to go because of these tablets. I don't want to come across as being awkward or anything ...

GPs are used to all sorts of different issues that people have.

Could you try wring down what you feel - perhaps just minor edits to the OP is all that is needed - to explain what happened and how you feel now. It will be easier to hand over a paper and say that you find it difficult to speak but have written down what you can, rather than having to speak it all aloud.
