Struggling with DP health anxiety

Sorry if this is a bit of a long one.

over the last 18 months both DP and I have had some health issues (both late 20s). I’ve had treatment for mine (eye related) and it’s slowly improving but has been difficult to manage. DP has been experiencing difficulties with his chest which we assume is covid related and has had a few (clear) chest scans.

over the last few weeks he has been complaining constantly of random physical symptoms. On one occasion I drove him to the walk in centre for them to say it was muscular pain or heartburn and to take gaviscon. Of course I was relieved but I’m getting really frustrated about the constant complaining and I don’t know how to help.

now he’s saying I’m not being supportive by suggesting that he needs to relax and getting a bit snappy when he suggests he might need to go to A&E (despite looking and appearing perfectly fine)

AIBU and horrible ?

Not being unreasonable at all. My OH does this to an extent. We all had a cold over Xmas but of course his was a chest infection. There's not much more you can do than not feeding into it, don't entertain it but don't be mean about it at the same time.x
