Yes medicine will give you temporary relief but with CBT you can manage your problem without medicine in longer run.

It seems like you're extremely distressed from your hypochondriasis and have even been under medication, which doesn't seem to be working as you'd hoped. The truth is that your hypochondriasis has to do as much with your brain as it has to do with your thoughts. While the medicine is doing its job and giving you temporary relief, you aren't feeling 100% fine because you haven't made changes to your thinking patterns and haven't addressed the underlying psychological issues.

By acting like this anxiety builds up in the body and the person never feels relaxed. Have a psychological consultation that would help you
