HYPOCHONDRIASIS: DIAGNOSTIC WORKUP
(Algorithmic Diagnosis of Symptoms and Signs)

The diagnostic workup need not be extensive, but certain routine tests should be done. These include a CBC, sedimentation rate, chemistry panel, thyroid profile, EKG, chest x-ray, and flat plate of the abdomen. If there are complaints of memory loss and/or poor concentration, an EEG and CT scan of the brain may be done. A neurologist should be consulted. If the above tests fail to disclose an organic cause for the complaints and the patient is still not convinced he/she is well, referral to a psychiatrist is indicated.
