Chest x ray

[Kay8010]

Went to check my x Ray results today. Still not back after two weeks. Grrrrrr!!

Really.......that is a long wait, if it was anything of concern they would have been in touch with you...

Over three weeks. No result. Doctor chased up but said they're taking three to four weeks! She said it would normally be fast tracked if anything wrong. In the meantime my cough totally cured with spray. It's great. Why didn't they try it years ago?

How is it working for you?

Sorry not responded earlier not been logging onto the site as I want to cure my anxiety but also get support (if that makes sense)

Well I have tried the nasal spray NO JOY unfortunately :(

I have been back to the GP yesterday and he has increased my PPI for acid reflux and had a good talk to me about weight loss and how it could be affecting my breathing and diaphragm when I am laid down. I am going to give the meds a go, he wants to see me back in 6 weeks for a weight check and cough check, if the cough gets very bad or the cough is still present when I see him again he will refer me to respiratory unit at the hospital for further investigation.

He said that dry coughs during the day or those that occur particularly at night when sleeping are relatively caused by benign conditions or nothing at all.

Its a monitoring situation now but my fear is lung cancer, he assured me he is very confident this is not sinister in the slightest and if it were he would
have fast tracked me for further 'lung cancer investigations'

Its a wait and see situation.
Have you received your chest xray results? I have never known it to be this long BUT I think you are fine esp that your cough has been resolved - wish mine would!

HI Kay There may be some truth on this (I used to be seriously over weight) Not saying you are massively over weight but it can cause breathing problems. It did with me. And benign conditions doesn't sound serious .
The thing is you have a good dr who is monitoring you and if he felt you had a remote chance of cancer you would be fast tracked Cheers

Very true just wish they could tell me what is wrong and what the reason for my daily coughing is all about, it truly feeds off my anxiety and vice versa!
