so worried about results

[Cimmy]

hi all well to cut a long story short, I had a terrible chest infection all of December, 3 lots of antibiotics and steroids which eventually cleared it all up. Had a sputum test which came back ok, but the doctor wants to talk to me about my chest X-ray. I have convinced myself that it is something nasty. But the rational side of me is saying if it was that bad surely they wouldn’t wait 4 weeks to talk about it on the telephone, which is this coming Monday. I am so nervous and keep thinking it’s bad, I just can’t function properly, I am consumed with fear. I suffer from really bad anxiety and thought I was getting on top of it but this has just brought me so down. What are your thoughts on all this. Just looking for some peace

hi I`d think if it was serious you`d be seen right away but us anxiety suffers do overthink.

my overthinking is off the chart😔 but I think your right , just got to make it to Monday without having a meltdown

yeah I was once told my anxiety was the worst they had ever seen and this was coming from a family support worker for our autistic son.

It's your body if the doctor is scaring you that's wrong why did you have an xray ?

prolonged chest infections 3 x antibiotics and steroids, not once was I seen by a doctor everything was fine over then phone, so I saw an out of hours emergency doctor and it was them that said I should have sputum test and X-ray
