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.

Hello,
Health anxiety is maintained by the behaviours of the patient. He thinks a lot about his health, would change doctors frequently because he wants to get well immediately. By acting like this anxiety builds up in the body and the person never feels relaxed. Have a psychological consultation that would help you
Next Steps
Consult a clinical psychologist
