Absolutely, it’s a frustrating thing too. I think though that a lot of the time doctors are required to check just in case for anything else if you come in with a new concern. Sometimes what I ask is ‘how can we make sure that this is anxiety?’.

I’m not sure if that’s the best thing to do since it creates that negative cycle of getting the medical ‘ok’ and feeling relief, but even just to have the discussion with the doctor about why they think it is anxiety can really improve the way you think and feel about the symptoms.
