Hi all.
I have my first CT scan approaching fast - Monday 7th Sept.
This is because of headaches I've been suffering with for about four months. Mainly in one spot, right temple area. The specialist who I saw last week has suggested I have an 'over-active' brain and that the problem could be vascular (?). He prescribed a low dosage beta-blocker and booked me in for the scan.
I then went and proved him right in a way by having a panic attack in his office. "Lay on the floor, " he said. "With your feet on the chair" Jeeeeeez I felt a numpty
Anyway, the anxiety about the CT scan is getting very bad. It's GIVING me headaches I swear!
I'm rubbish with anything medical so am worrying about the actual scan, as well as the possible outcome. In my mind I'm already on my death-bed
PLEASE, can someone attempt to put my mind at ease?
I should also say, for the record, that I've been on Citalopram (20mg) for about 17 months now.
Many many thanks for reading this.
