Hunni it does sound like anxiety and I know thyroid problems can cause anxiety my gp tested me for thyroid problems when I was diagnosed with anxiety. Some one please tell me if I'm wrong but that's what my gp told me. Please try stay strong I know its hard but with the right help you can feel better from this. X

Sammi is right, Jeanne, and having too much iron in your blood can also be a cause of anxiety. I hope your hospitals appts prove helpful in terms of treatment x

Also, is there another GP at your practice that you could see if you find that your usual one isn't very sympathetic? Otherwise, it might be worth asking round people you know to find a good GP and transfer to him/her.

Hello:)
I had problems with one of my Gps just brushing things off and shoving pills at me.I now have a good Gp who after me telling him my concerns,actually listened to me and focused the treatment better because even though very simular the treatment for anxiety and panic attacks can be different.I thought it was the same thing but he told me other wise.
With all things its better to shop around to get the best service,im not saying some doctors are rubbish its just some will gel better to you.
