Booking an appointment with a doctor makes me anxious

Sorry this sounds silly, but everytime I plan to book an appointment with my gp I feel anxious, I feel like I'm wasting their time or just over reacting to my symptoms.

Waiting to go to the appointment to sitting in the wating room drives me to full anxiety. I don't know why, I been there lots of times. Worse if it takes days or a week.

I read something online lately that anxiety and depression causes many symptoms that are more than just feeling anxious.

But I constantly feel there's something else.

My feelings are mild, worse during middle of the day until night, on and off, so its always difficult to decide if I should book an apoountment. Because if the symptom dissapears, there's nothing to feel or explain.

Like my nasal and head problems, sometimes it blocks, I get pressure above my nose. Had nasal sprays for it, they didn't work.

I been getting pibs and needles feeling in my hands and feet, my back hurts, feels tight and clicks, and my lips twitches sometimes.

Had a doctor to check it out, she did a physical exam, said nothng she could do, it's alright.

I still don't feel any better, had a sharp pain in my lower back last week.

Same with my lower left side and groin, she couldn't find much wrong after a physical exam, normal urine and blood tests.

Now I'm anxious I have MS, because everytime I search about multiple symptoms I get, MS pops up, I feel sometimes, what's the pount anymore, I am tired of feeling like this. Clumsy, numb, feeling anxious to every symptom, like the volume going off and light headed.

Before I was anxious about a thyroid disorder my blood tests show my thyroid is fine.
Am I just imagining this, I don't know, I tried ignoring it for a while now, ignoring it doesn't work, I try gocusing on treating anxiety but it won't go away. :(

Depression can make you feel like something serious is going on when it's not.

Chances are that you're okay, but be sure to tell the doc about your anxiety and depression.
