Doctors will not (and should not) send people for scans with no valid reason. They're expensive, time consuming (meaning you are delaying things for somebody who really needs a scan) and there's such a thing as 'incidental findings' - which ramp up HA more than ever. And there is the radiation to consider..
Even if your GP agreed to this (they won't) this would only provide you with temporary reassurance which will disappear the moment a new anxiety symptom kicks in. You will convince yourself that they missed something, you got the wrong scan results, or a crap radiographer. This is how health anxiety works.
It's not a full body scan that you require. It's therapy for your health anxiety disorder.
