As you can imagine because of my GAD i feel very scared about not having symptoms. I know it sounds stupid , but if i had any symptoms i was gonna treat them as i should.
I don't think it really matters why you are still drinking - either to avoid symptoms or because you are afraid of symptoms. Bottom line you are still drinking and if you decide to stop, seeking some medical advice is a good idea to avoid any possible bad side effects.
I am diagnosed with GAD myself and specifically health anxiety so I understand very well what you are going through. I felt the same way when I quit. And one time I ended up in the ER because I didn't seek help first. It ended up being nothing major but i was foolish to do it on my own. It's far better to be safe than sorry.
