How do I go about getting one?

Had few "panic attacks" in last three months, pretty sure thats all it was however like to reassure myself as well.

I believe one of these is the best thing to do?

Any advice more than welcome!

Cheers

Leon

Hi

I think most full medicals are done privately. They can be quite expensive but are worth it if they help stop your anxieties and fears. Do you have a private hospital near you? You may need to be referred by your GP.

Hope you feel better soon.

Hi,

I went for a private health assesment, but I wish I had just talked things through with my GP first, would have saved me a fortune!

I think it is at least £400 - look at the BUPA website for more info

Thats is expensive!!!!

Take it these arent avalable on the NHS?

I'm only 26 and would presume I wasnt in a "high risk" group............

Hi Leon

I made my doctor refer me for a private medical health test and it cost about £400 that was about 3 years ago. I was so convinced I had something wrong other than anxiety but the results all came back and the verdict was anxiety.
