What is it you feel you need to be tested for? I think some doctors are reluctant to perform tests on something that they believe to be delusional, incase it reinforces the patient's belief that it's real. But if it's something medical that could be real by Earth-world standards then of course you should be tested for it and I would, if I were you, push until you get the tests you need.

I had a friend whose doctor kept ignoring her internal pains because she had a history of mental health problems (even though she'd been stable for a while) until they got so incapacitating that she was finally sent for tests, and unfortunately it turned out that she had a serious medical problem.
