CT Thur .. got me really anxious, and I can't sleep

[jimmy7777]

I am really scared about my CT scan Thur. I have a feeling they are going to find something, plus im affraid if they use the dye it will kill me. I can't even sleep because of this. Then after that im going to have to wait on the call, and that is going to be pure hell. I really do think it's easier to get a scan at the ER because you know right then and there , you don't have to wait, and every time the phone rang go into complete panic, even more so if it's a hospital number or a number you dont know. I have actually not asnwered the phone so they would leave a messag e, then have to go hours buiding up the nerve to listen to it, then listening to it trying to disern their voices to tell if it sounds urgent or not.

All of us are anxious before any test as we are afraid they may find something. A reaction to the dye used is
very rare. I personally have never had a CT scan with dye, just MRI's with contrast. My GI physician says that many
patients who come to see him think they have a large tumor growing inside of them. My urologist said that
many people when they come to see him think it is time to cash their chips in. So it goes to show that you are
by no means alone in the way you think.

Hi Jimmy,
If you are not allergic to shrimp don't worry, CT take a minute at most no big deal...I am waiting for my doc to call back with my latest blood tests results....We all fear this :)  Hang in...I also started therapy last night so far I like her and it went well.

Gotta get the test done jimmy just think about when you hear that it's all clear how good it's going to feel compared to not knowing.

I was so close not going to my colonoscopy but i thought if it was atleast i will have a fighting chance of trying to rid of it, however i got the all clear.

I guess it's all down to positive thinking.

It's not going to make him feel better long-term, sorry but it won't.

I agree and it will be the next thing we all know how it work's like right now i have discomfort in my stomach after having a colonoscopy done worrying incase it went wrong.

But if he really believe's that something is wrong maybe's he can use this one as a starting block to getting better and believing that it's all HA causing his problem's.

First please excuse any misspelling's because the laptop im on right now's screen is about to go out and keeps freezng up and is really aggrivating me so please bear with me on any spelling or grammer issues.

I am already aware of my HA probably now more than ever, and I am going to see a therapist about and hope to get it under control, but with that being said, I can truly say that the stomach symptoms , the despersonalization, and a few others is more than likely from anxiety, but whether or not the ears symptoms are life threatening or not I know their not from my HA and they are completely interferring with my day to day life in a major way, and whatever is causing it needs to be taken care of. It's not anything that can just be ignored or overcome.

It's not just my ears feeling clogged or just having a little pressure, because I was dealing with that earlier in the year and it didnt bring on any HA or anxiety, but what ever this is now is a really really bad intense pressure in my ears whenever I'm up and moving around that won't go away in till I set back down or lay back down. To tell you the truth I have no idea what could be causing I'm all out of ides, and yes I've been googling this thing to death im not going to lie and I can find all kinds of things on ear pressure, but I can't find one single thing whatsoever on my particular symptoms, not one thing on health sites, not one person has posted these symptoms on any other forum. I feel like I am the only person in the world that has ever experienced these symptoms in this particular way.

Jimmy, I have told you I have similiar issues, my latest blood test came back ok, I am referred to my neuro & ENT again.  My GP sees nothing in my ear altohugh I feel pressure and have dizziness!  I feel it is my neck giving me these issues...don't worry please it will all be figured out soon :) take care be well....PM me

[jimmy7777]

Clo, thanks, and I hope it will all be fugured out soon. I feel that I'm going to be this way forever. when I said I feel like I'm the only person to have these symptoms, I meant in the way that I'm having them with the whole standing up and walking around thing. I just get this horrible pressure I've never felt before. I don't know if it has something to do with blood flow or blood pressure changes. I've already checked my blood pressure several times and it's fine, so I just don't understand it, not one bit. I mean what's so different in your ears when standing or walking than laying or sitting?

[clohessy9]

How did it go???

[nole23]

Thinking about you Jimmy, hope the CT went well. Let us know

[jimmy7777]

[Trev12345]
