She's only sending you for tests to try to get to the bottom of what's going on -- she's being thorough, which is more than some doctors would bother to do!!

There's no point being scared because the worst case scenario almost never happens. It is far more likely to be either anxiety or some minor physical problem, than it is to be something to worry about.

Keep us posted. PM me if you need to vent or talk. Most of all, let your fear go, it won't do you any good and it is likely that whatever is causing your problems is non-serious. :)
