just a question for those of you who are familiar with a blood test done in general physicals by family docs. i got one done and the doctor checked for a variety of things, two of them were complete blood count and thyroid and there were a couple more that i cant remember and he said everything was good but i was wondering what specifically i can knock out from all this. like ok i know my blood count is cool and i dont have thyroid cancer but what can i cross off my list, what things that could potentially cause anxiety for example hypogycemia can be forgotten about as the tests accurately proved me being healthy. also assuming that the general blood test came up ok should i fully give up on there being any problem and totally assume everything is anxiety and nothing else is going on?

Sounds like a question to simply ask your doctor "hey doc, what all did you test for?" did you fast (not eat)? my doctor checks my liver enzymes because of the abuse I put it through. she also checks my bloodsugar level because i have a family history of diabetes. She checked my hormone levels to rule out early menopause causing my depression.
I think you can calm down if he didn't call you in for MORE testing. :) i wasn't sure on the wording. you wanted to know if a medical condition could CAUSE anxiety, or you are anxious over having any medical conditions?
Hope someone else can answer your question.
