Brief Answer: Try thought stoppage technique Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for your trust on me. As i told you last time, you have hypochondriasis and need psychiatrist consultation. You have already got number of tests done and there is no need to get any test done. If you are not taking any medicine, then you can do thoughts stoppage technique and relaxation technique which i had advised you. You can also do relaxation exercise. That would help to control anxiety. Nothing to worry, with time these thoughts would reduce and tell me your response after consultation. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
