Sometimes there is something serious that needs further investigation. But others times it's nothing and following your advice would be feeding hypochondria. Additional testing and diagnosis is expensive, and often carries risks of its own. It's hard to know where to draw the line.

You see, I do wonder about my tendency to bias due to anxiety, hypocondria etc etc
But this is part of my tone in my above messages. I've seen doctors lie. I did have swollen ankles and hands. When mentioned to them, they'd say "yes that's a cardiovascular issue" just to switch stance the minute after.
They, too, have biases.
