I've been referred for a chest x-ray as my Dr is trying to find out if there are any underlying problems to my frequent sweating and hot flushes. My blood test results were normal for thyroid, aneamia (she thought I may be as I'm pale) etc. Abnormal were 2 results but only slightly. One I couldn't read on the screen what it was lol but the other was something to say I may have slight inflammation somewhere.
I'm really scared of having a chest x-ray (I don't have to get my boobs out do I lol). I don't know why I need one as I don't smoke, have no pains in my chest and I can breathe ok as well (apart from the usual breathlessness I get with anxiety).
Just worried as to what could be wrong. I get pains in my wrists and my right knee a lot and didn't think of telling the Dr that, maybe that could be the inflammation?
