I did it. A full body work up. And still anxious.
Hi! So yesterday I went and had a full body work up in the ER. I just couldn’t stand the anxiety and worry anymore. I don’t care how much it ends up costing, I just really didn’t want to feel scared of dying from a brain tumor anymore.
For some background: for the past 5 months I’ve been feeling off balance/vertigo feelings/bad vision, blurry, and really anxious. I’m 28 and have never had any major health issues. But have had panic disorder and OCD for as long as I can remember.
Yesterday I had a CT scan of my brain, chest x rays, EKG, and full blood work.
Everything came back fine but I’ve heard CT scans don’t always pick up on small tumors. Only large masses? And the ER Dr said; “you don’t have any large masses in your brain.” So I was thinking of that sentence later, like does that mean there’s a chance of there being small masses?
Why can’t I just feel reassured and better and excited I don’t seemingly have anything life threatening? Anxiety is so hard.
Sorry for venting. Sending all the love I can conjure to you all who suffer from this stuff, it’s no joke.
