Am I overreacting?

So I just spoke with my mom about concerns I have regarding my hormone levels. I haven’t ever been tested, but I’m worried because I have a lot of the symptoms for a hormonal disorder that I was reading about. I spoke to her about this, hoping to just get an appointment to talk to a doctor about just a routine test. I didn’t want to mention the condition I was reading about because I know there’s a very slim chance I actually have that specific one, but I could have a more general issue. Despite me clearly telling her not to bring it up, she called the doctor and immediately went into how I was freaking out about the condition. I don’t want to go into the office if the doctor thinks I’m a hypochondriac (which I feel she made me out to be). I was already wary considering the only nearby doctor that offers the test is male and I don’t know if I’d be taken seriously just going in for a routine test. Am I overreacting? I really don’t want to go anymore if this is their first impression.
