    Too many X-rays?

    So I was in and out of a&e constantly a few weeks ago before I was diagnosed with having anxiety. It was all for the same reasons - chest pain, not being able to breath properly, sob.
    In the space of 3-4 weeks I had 5 chest X-rays and a vq scan. Am now worried I've been over radiated. Anyone else felt like this? I feel silly for accepting all the tests now I know the cause wasn't my physical health.

    I'm a cancer survivor. I've had more x rays, CT scans and other scans (not counting all the x rays etc. growing up) than you can count. AND... guess how they treated my cancer? Yep... radiation! Five days a week for 6 weeks. I'm fine. You are too!
