Just got a call from the docotors :-(

[Anxiety Jim]

Thanks everyone and I know I shouldn't have googled it but because they rang me first thing the day after my blood test must mean it's serious.

My mother and sister both had a vitamin d deficiency but they didn't get phone calls, they just got a letter saying come to the doctors to talk about your blood results.

The person on the phone said I'd need to see my doctor no more than 2 weeks from now. :-(

try an NHS or a government website so you know the information is reliable.

I had very low calcium levels. I had tones of blood work done, and heart tests.
I didn't have cancer and no one mentioned cancer and if it was a sure thing like you say I'm sure a doctor would have told me.

That was 5 years ago and I'm still here

Calcium build up on teeth is normal, you can also get calcium deposits on your face which are these tiny white hard dots.

Isn't that website about tyroid problems ?

Ive had tones of tyroid tests as I have lots if the symptoms too, but it always came back clear.
You can get a simple blood test.

You have to see the patteren and accept you have a problem .
Even if you are in fact sick you are causing yourself way too much stress .

You get a symptom, google it , choose the scariest illness, go to the doctor, get results, google results , again go to the worst cast senario , get scared .

You're stuck in a cycle .

It's not one illness you worry about its lots :(

Maybe it would help if you had a therpist to talk to?
Someone to listen to you and to help with the anxiety side side of things?

Just read this on the BBC website:

One of the commonest causes of hypercalcaemia is cancer. Up to 20% of people with cancer have high calcium levels, especially with cancers of the breast, lung, head and neck, and certain blood cancers.

I'm really sorry everyone for being such a mess, but this has got to mean something, they rang me less than 24 hours after a blood test that they said would be at least a week to come back, and have already written a prescription for me. :-(

It doesn't say 20% of people with high calcium levels have cancer, it's the other way around. Stop googling or you will really make yourself ill. Ring your GP.

I think I'll ask to see the results, or at least get more information on the results when I go and pick my prescription up later.

My dentist finding calcium deposits on my teeth, and having abnormal calcium in my blood within a week of each other can't be a coincidence. I've never had calcium build up on my teeth at all.


Some of you might know that I've been prescribed diazapam but haven't taken any yet because I'm scared I'll pass out, now I'm even less likely to take it in fear that it will effect the prescription I'm getting today :-(

Sometimes I just wish I could curl up in a tiny box and forget about everything :-(

Jim, do you live in a hard water area? Does your kettle or iron fur up?

Btw neither your kettle nor iron have cancer.

The docs rang you to collect a prescription. They did not call you in for another consultation.

But they did say i needed to see a GP in no more than 2 weeks.

I do live in a hard water area actually, but that cant seriously be a cause?

[Jules147]

Hard water causes a build-up of calcium on your teeth as well as on your kettle and iron.

[Anxiety Jim]

Maybe,

But my sister has a condition called tuberous sclerosis that can cause tumors and calcium deposits on the brain and kidneys, shes 4 years younger than me now im scared ive got it too, but un diagnosed

Sorry to hear you are struggling Jim. This deficiency is easily treatable. You have been told this over and over in the above posts but your health anxiety is so out of control that you are missing the message. You really need to commit to addressing your health anxiety, to release yourself from this cycle of misery. You can do it. You are young and bright. Make a stand today. Ban Dr Google from your life.xV
