![]() Anything around acute doses received over a short period of time, or anything on the biological progression of cancer, or the brain's resilience, I would so appreciate. I trust your expertise and I would really appreciate it if you could explain to me in detail-with in-depth logic and reasoning-why I do not have to worry. I also had a head CT when I was 16, so that brings it to four head CT scans in total. I know that the associated risks are relatively small, but I can't help but worry myself to death because my stupid brain just won't give me rest. The first good sleep I got was only a week after the CTA/CTV because I finally got a sleeping aid that worked.Īll three scans turned out clear. I'm terrified that my immune system was not working normally during the time that I received those CTs. Worst of all, I had been severely sleep deprived for several weeks, almost a month, to the point that my body was very weak and frail and my consciousness was altered severely. A week later, things had not gotten better, so a neurologist ordered a CTA and CTV to be done at the same time. I was given a choice to do a head CT even though the ER doctor warned me about the radiation risks, and I chose to do it. Recently I came down with pretty bad headaches, heart palpitations, and other symptoms, and was in the ER a lot. He has tried to calm me down but my health anxiety is out of control. I am a 30 year old woman, and actually married to one of you, incidentally. Other subreddits that may be of interest:ĭear medical physicists.
