Bed bug anxiety

I'm getting mysterious bites at night - only in the summer! I'm convinced they could be bed bugs but I don't see any signs of them. I've looked very carefully and have even put a passive monitor under the mattress to check - no sign there either. But the bites are getting worse every year. Has anyone else had bites but no sign of any bugs? what was the outcome if you looked in to it - did you get bed bugs confirmed or was it something else? I don't have pets, live alone, no travel abroad, no staying in hotels since a long time. If I do go ahead and get checked anyway, which is the best professional option to go for (North London) - council? Some private company? Any recommendations? This is all making me super anxious, especially as all the photos of bed bug bites on the internet look very different from each other +/- vague... :-( thanks for any advice

If it was bed bugs it wouldn't be only in the summer. It's probably mosquitoes or midges, do you sleep with the window open?

No windows open... definitely not mosquitoes, I know what they're like from having lived in Italy
