Brief Answer:
Few sessions of counselling
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me gain.
As suggested during our earlier conversation, few sessions of counselling with a psychiatrist would provide you with relief.
To allay your fear, you can get an upper GI endoscopy, a CT scan of the abdomen and a complete blood count done if not done during the past one year.
Meanwhile continue taking Librax and Sompraz -D40.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Dr.R.K.
