Hi all,
I'm so worried.
I had an endoscopy done on the 5th of November. My doc found a couple of small polyps. He took biopsies. The results still aren't back.
He did say he's not worried as they're very often caused by the acid reducing omeprazole that I'm taking. He said they don't become cancerous but had to take a biopsy to be doubly sure there's nothing to worry about.
I'm now really worried as I can't believe it's taking this long for the results.
I wonder if they've lost them or if there's something seriously wrong.
I have read they are very very common after taking omeprazole and cause no problems and can go away on their own.
My brain's still doing the what if routine though!
Has anyone else got any info on polyps?

Also, I've started worrying again about the loose sand on my driveway. I had a new drive laid and they put sand between the blocks and there's still some loose sand about even after a lot of sweeping.
Sand is mainly silica and if you breathe in a lot of silica dust you can get silicosis. I worry about walking a small amount into the house or if there's silica dust outside the open windows on windy days.
I even saw my asthma specialist about this and he said not to worry it's only people working with loads of the dust for years and that a few grains of sand won't hurt. How can he be so sure.
Sorry for rambling, I'll leave you all in peace now.
Health Anxiety is such a pain in the ar^^!
