I've had CT scan with contrast, two chest xrays, countless blood tests for different things, poo tests, ccancer enzyme tests, diabetes test, kidney infection, disease, function tests, liver test and still I've pain in my side. Surely a chest xray x2 would show something on my lung if it was causing me rib pain? Surely!?

I am seriously fatigued with worry, shaky sometimes and I've definitely lost weight.

I'm now taking citalipram to see if it helps with my anxiety. It has only been a week though.

Has anyone experienced similar?

If you do a search on the site or read the similar threads posted at the bottom of the page, you'll see that this is s common symptom and subsequent theme of HA.

Is the weakness and shakiness part of it?

Why in the world would you have 2 x-rays and then CT scan on top of that?

So much unnecessary radiation from CT scan...

Yes, definitely.

Because of the pain I get.

I wake up shaking sometimes and feel dizzy randomly. I also have rib pain.

I went for a bike ride recently and my lungs seemed OK, I was worried about lung cancer.

Update

Had chest xray again, shows a little bit of fluid in bottom right lung. I don't really have a cough or anything.

I asked the doctor if it's cancer and he said no, but how can he tell?

A radiologist would read it and say if additional testing was needed

So. I finally had a booked thorax CT with contrast. The doctor has said, no further action required.

This makes absolutely no sense at all! I still have pain in ribs and side.

I get it from my chronic back pain.
Sometimes for an hour or 2 , Sometimes all day.
