Hi everyone,
I'm new to the site so I hope I've posted in the right place.
I'll try and give you a bit of background without waffling on too long!
I'm 42 and female and have had HA on and off for years, triggered by a variety of things. It's got worse since I had a baby 19 months ago - it was very traumatic and left me with bladder problems. I also have Gerd and take nexium tablets for this.
The last few months I've been having lots of symptoms such as on/off extreme fatigue- the type where lying down doesn't help and I can barely walk. Also a bit breathless and aching everywhere. I've also had occasional night attacks where I have an awful pain between my shoulder blades that radiates through to my front and lasts for hours- nothing seems to touch it and it's worse when lying down.
Because of the above symptoms my GP sent me for a chest X-Ray and abdominal u/s. Had my X Ray a few weeks ago but had my u/s first thing on 30/12. Sonographer said everything looked OK and my results would be with GP in a week. BUT yesterday at 5pm (31/12) I got a call from doctor's surgery receptionist telling me that the u/s was abnormal and she gave me a phone apt for Monday (4th Jan) at 5pm.
Am worried sick now that something bad has shown up. I've barely eaten since she called and am getting myself into a right state.
I keep trying to tell myself that if it was that bad I'd have to see the dr face to face and it would be first thing...not the evening.
I guess I'm just looking for some reassurance because Monday is so far away at the moment.:weep:
Thank you
