Eddy,

What is a G/F? General Practitioner/Family Doctor?

You need to make the effort to be seen by someone besides a GP or Family doctor. You need some questions answered before you make things worse or get so overloaded with anxiety that you have other problems. I would strongly suggest having someone go with you and sit in the exam room and take notes. Bring a journal of your past few weeks and have them make sure the doctor gets the list.

I would try to avoid describing things in medical terms. You want to avoid being labeled a cybercondriac (person who has self diagnosed from information found on the internet). Cybercondriac and somatoform can be the kiss of death if they get written in your medical record.

I don't know about your chiropractor but mine have always provided a same day follow up for no cost. If yours doesn't, maybe he would when you get messed up just driving home.

Regarding anxiety, you do sound like your anxiety level is above normal.
