Wanting to be certain is natural, and it can mean many tests, many doctors and many opinions. But another report may not settle things, and the relief often does not last. Total certainty about your health is not on offer to anyone. Today is about allowing a little uncertainty to stay in the room without fixing it. The course of health anxiety is often long, with symptoms that ease and return, and some people recover. So a bad patch is not failure. CBT has good evidence for health anxiety. If worry still takes over your life, a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist can help.
