Anxiety does not likely affect the results of your blood test and you have nothing to fear at all. Take care.

Your emotional state will NOT affect your blood tests, but your anxiety may be quite compromising and pre-occupying. Suggest you handle this by entering Cognitive-behavioral counseling, which is quite likely to enhance your quality of life.
