Hey, I’m a 22 y/o female and have suffered with anxiety since I was 14. For the last 5 or so years it has been solely around a fear of my heart.
At my worst, I have had countless A&E trips & thought there was a plethora of things wrong with me. This has led to me having 2 CT scans in a&e of my brain, once because I was certain an artery in my neck was blocked & the other not heart related at all but because I was having severe head aches.
I don’t know what has come over me but I suddenly remembered this last night and now I am so frustrated at myself that my anxiety caused me to do this.
I have read CT scans can cause a greater risk of cancer later in life, particularly for young people and for some reason I have had TWO for practically no reason at such a young age.
I feel like I have given myself a death sentence :(
Please help
