I am sorry to be posting again.
My health anxiety has reached a peak.
In the last 3 months I have had 3 ultrasounds of my breasts - I paid privately for these and arranged them myself.
I am now terrified that I will have caused something bad to happen to my breasts from these. This never occurred to me until today.
I have an ultrasound of my pelvis scheduled aeter I said I was worried about irregular bleeding nd an Mri of my knee for pain. Tomorrow I see another specialist about my neck lump. All these appointments have been arranged by me.
My first fear is can the ultrasounds cause cancer? Please could someone help me with this - if I need a neck ultrasound this will be a potential fifth ultrasound in 3 months for me. This would be five ultrasounds and an Mri instigated by me. Please could someone advise me - i
hadnt taken in the enormity of all the tests i have had until today.
Secondly, how do I stop this? My CBT worker will no longer work with me until I get support with my medication, she feels it is not helping me. I have been to the GP 3 times in the last week and to out of hours twice asking for a referral to Community Mental Health. I am now terrified I have damaged myself with all these ultrasounds and caused the very thing I have been trying to avoid.
I know I need help and I am calling the dr every other day chasing my mental health help up. I have called the crisis team also.
I have a grumbly tummy and feel I need the toilet all the time. I have pain by my upoer right ribs. I can see where my anxiety is headed and I am trying desperately to get professional support but I can't get it.
Please could I ask for some reassurance and advice again. I am sorry. I know i need help but I am not getting anywhere.
