blood tests

[Anxietymadman]

need a little reasureance if possible had bloods done on Friday and they all came back the Saturday, office at my gp surgery confirmed all bloods are back and I have most already on my app saying normal, now the ones we originally were only going to do were my renal bloods and liver profile. These are back but dr has not signed for them and put it on the app, receptionist says the dr needs to speak to me regarding the bloods if they are not on my nhs app as of yet, worrying because if it was nothing they would of uploaded on the app now and checked

This can be very scary. As far as I know once things get checked by the doctor they go on your record and on the app. It may be that the GP has not yet got to them. In my experience I can see abnormal findings on my NHS app. Even if finding are abnormal, the test is often repeated to make sure it's correct and can turn out normal second time (sometimes it's caused by something benign and is temporary). I don't know your medical history, so this is just general common sense. Also, I am aware you posted a couple of days ago. I wonder if you have more information now. It is hard to tolerate the unknown, but try to suspend the worry and use the waiting time to do something enjoyable. It actually helps me to imagine that I may get the worst news, so might as well enjoy life now while I am blissfully unaware Let us know how you get on.

The dr said can I come in for a face to face appointment on 24th of this month to discuss. (Non urgent) still not on my app which they normally are even if abnormal so not sure what to expect

it’s not great to not be able to see, but ‘not urgent’ is reassuring. Hope it works out well for you. We often imagine the worst possible scenario, but there are many more in between. Even if something is up it is often treatable. It helps to do this exercise: draw a scale and put the best outcome on one end, and the worst on another, and then add as many options in between as you can come up with. You will see then that the probability of the worst outcome is actually quite small x
