Are the Doctors right?


Hi new here, and never had Anxiety before or not that iam aware off, but i do worry alot about health issues not just for my self but my family and even our pets!
Ok 6 weeks ago i was walking home from the local hotel (band night) had a lot of beers and was staggering a bit, and was about 30 meters behind my wife and friend! Then my left leg gave out, i could not stand on it! No pain had felling but no strengh in it! My wife called an ambulance, hospital did a few basic tests and 3 hours latter i was walking out the hospital! Doctor there, said toooo many beers! Woke up the next day and my hip was so sore. (I also brought a new bike that week and a lot kms into it cycling). My wife took me to her doctor the cheeked me over and then sent me to a private hospital where they did a complete check over and bloods etc, did MRI of my lower spine, found very low sliped disk but not bad. Then he talked about MS in the family, i said no one has it. He said dont be worried its just a question that had to be asked! Went back to my wifes Dr, who sent me for a CT scan of the head to look for stroke or simular, came back good saying no signs or grey or white matter etc! But since that day i cant get MS out of my head! I have read about it so much, i am beginning to get symptoms that come and go! Tingling feet, thumb, etc. Main problem is dizzy of foggy blocked head, my ears are popping non stop, also have a funny feeling on my spine below the shoulder blades! Last 3 weeks i have been to see 3 different Doctors who say stop reading about it, nothing wrong, its not MS but Anxiety!!!! I asked for an Mri of the head but he said no need! (4 years ago i did have an ear infection (dizzy) that went on for 3 months. Saw a ETN specialist who did mri of head and neck, found nothing) its driving me Crazy! I get cramp in my calf and i read about it, get out of bed toes are sore then i google it! My Wife is sooo over me talking about it!
Do i see another Doctor and demand an mri? My head is blocked all day, but i sleep well! Can easily go to bed straight after work tired! Even now both hands and forearms feel warm and tight writting this post! What do you people think? Cheers

Hi there! I suggest that you don't worry too much. Our bodies are built to send us warning signs if there's trouble. If you're feeling fine and you have the assessments of multiple doctors to back it up then there's nothing to worry about. Go out and have some fun! A healthy soul and mind will keep the body in line. Happy holidays!

My 2 cents.

Trust your doctors. You're first few sentences suggest you have health anxiety, and you are worrying about your health. You had multiple test recently done, everything came back clear. You are pretty darn healthy. Your doctor was being a good one asking about MS. This shows that he cared and wanted to rule everything out as a good doctor should.

You need to 1. Trust the multiple doctors you've seen

2. Don't read anything online, don't google ms symptoms or anything of that nature.

You're a healthy guy. You just need to address the anxiety
