Could it be annoying/frustrating to a doctor when patient requests lab tests?

Could be. : We all try to get back in touch with people as soon as we can. Unfortunately we are all also doing a zillion other things all day long. I think a good rule of thumb is to wait a week and then call.

Wiling to discuss: Most doctors are willing to discuss concerns with their patients. If you have an interest in having a test, doctors will listen to your thoughts and give you their opinion. They are not annoyed or frustrated when dealing with patients requests and should give you a reasonable response.
