hi
not good tonight, been to the docs this afternoon, has i have suffered from chest tightness for 9 months(since start of anxiety)...cant really cope nomore, its worries and annoys me, so saw my usual doc who knows my history of anxiety and as referred me for most of my other tests. He is brilliant and understands me and my problems..doesnt cast me aside like all the other docs i have seen.....
when i first went in i carried on about the chest discomfort i am constantly getting and straight away he said its just anxiety BUT i will even arrange a chest xray as he knew my mind would not be put at rest till i got one and knew it was clear.......
so im so worried now ,as i have this tightness almost constantly at the minute, he listened to my chest...(my heart was racing and jumping and bp was 140/80)....he seemed to listen ages to my chest and then wrote something down about my right side and drew a arrow pointing downwards?!!! what does this mean???
he said it was okay and i could have anxiety induced asthma developing......
but need the chest xray to exclude other things!!!!!!!!!!!!!
once he knows the xray is clear he will try me on an inhaler and see if it helps my chest problems....but he thought it was muscular with a possibility of asthma
im so scared...i have diagnosed myself with lung disease
and of cause its terminal
been googling (stupid) pictures of chest xrays and all the nasties i could have
im 26 never smoked.what are the chances of me having lung disease???
cant ring hospital till monday for an appointment
i hope its not weeks.......cant bear the wait
sorry its so long winded........but im petrifiedx
