I think people often worry about whether their symptoms aren’t bad enough to go and see a doctor. They don't want to be wasting their time, for example. But I would say if there's anything that is getting in the way of your life or anything that's worrying you or anything that you, feel you need advice about, then please come and ask us. We'd always be happy to see you.
