Radiation fear.... CT scans!

Hello. Im so glad i found this video because im literally on the same boat. I really identify with the thinking cycle part that you explained. I think that i get over an illness i made myself believe i have. Then 2 days later, i think i have another illness or disease. Brain tumor is also my biggest fear, every time i forget something or i am clumsy, i automatically think there is something wrong in my brain. I got a ct scan in January of this year. Although it came out clean, i get thoughts of oh it probably didn't scan right or, maybe its real this time, it was just too small when they took the scan. Im battling all day everyday with my health anxiety, its really exhausting. Thank you for your videos, they help so much.

I am an hypochondriac person . I studied about radiation from Google .. Risk of cancer because of ct scan ..is based on LNT model .. (In which researchers plotted a graph showing liners relationship between radiation dose and cancer risk ..as radiation doses increase cance risk increases further ..this model is based on assumption that there is no safe amount of radiation ... Cancer among nuclear bomb survivors is more because of radiation (but the intensity or the amount of radiation received by them are way to higher than what we receive in ct scan ). In Ramada Iran ..people receive radiation ..from background but there is no increase in risk ... So it is clear that ... radiation causes cancer ..but only when radiation is too high ... Amount of radiation received in ct scan (10 ct scan ) ...cannot cause cancer

If you got CTs or MRIs with contrast and had all the symptoms you had and your doctor calls them “anxiety symptoms” they are not: they are symptoms of heavy metal toxicity and your doctor will not recognize this shit and will just say it’s caused by “anxiety.” My anxiety symptoms are not “anxiety” they are due to heavy metal toxicity after doing an MRI with gadolinium contrast which is said to be “safe” but no one ever tests for retention until now and everyone retains it and they manifest as crazy symptoms.

I have to have regularly MRI scans on my brain due to a condition I have on my brain (every 12-24 months, if I start getting symptoms which may be brain cancer, I would get scanned as soon as possible) it is not cancerous, the lump spot has got smaller over the years, I would have not known about a possible problem on my brain when I was eight going for a eye-test, I am quite surprise that the problem was not picked up earlier, as I had regularly eye tests and because of my condition had to go the children hospital every year with my dad (up to the age of 16) About 6 years ago my specialist suggested I had a MRI scan on my spine as my condition also causes a curve spine.

I bitterly regret this now....I wish I had refused.... apparently I received 2.44 mSv of radiation this time.... cumulatively I'm not sure....but it must be equivalent to several years of background radiation over the 3 months....I currently have severe anxiety and feel that I may have badly compromised my future health by my decision to accept the scan when my symptoms were okay.... thankfully I had no brain bleed....

[@kwintos88]

The brain is very radiation resistant... Don't worry about it 2 ct scans is 4 Msv that's nothing.

[@anonomous7936]

Same issues here, just had a CT scan of blood vessels. I'm going to look into vitamin infusion therapy to offset the mild radiation. We are lucky to have the technology these scans offer for sure so mitigation tactics like high dose C and other things can help with the side effects. I think we're all ok if we continue with healthy lifestyle.

[@igor6270]

After a radiographic, fluoroscopic, CT, ultrasound, or MRI exam, no radiation remains in your body. For nuclear medicine imaging, a small amount of radiation can stay in the body for a short time. therefore vitamin c means nothing to alleviate because it has passed through you. Another thing is radiation sickness but it gets if you are inside an atomic bomb or power plant explosion where is 500 - 100 000 msv. But then no vitamin will help :)

[@igor6270]

@@anonomous7936 In fact, vitamin C has so many foods that most people don't need it as a supplement unless advised by a doctor. Our body better absorbs and uses vitamins and nutrients from food sources than from supplements. But if you take a normal dose of vitamins it will not harm you in any way because the body will excrete excess..I'm not a doctor. But reliable articles on the Internet prove it to you. The body is a perfect machine despite diseases and it is amazing that everything works in the background so that we do not get sick until we know what to do with ourselves, we should be more grateful for our health :)

Please look into CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) the good news is that it’s not how we are destined to be. Your brain remembers how to panic after a while and so it gets hard wired to think in certain patterns. The good news is that CBT helps us to rewire the brain to think in more positive patterns. Also that and acupuncture kinda resets the nervous system. I’m currently suffering from health anxiety and I’m looking into both. Love your videos! Also my faith in God helps to keep me positive. 🙂

[@cherellethinks]

Justin R Hi! Thanks for your comment. I’ve had years and years of CBT. Since a child! But I’m currently awaiting ACT (acceptance commitment therapy) as I feel it’s better suited for me but I’ll definitely look into acupuncture! Thanks so much!

[@bh9262]

I understand you completely. I'm the same way.. And I feel completely that you will be fine!

[@igor6270]

I listening to you as if I were looking at myself. Ironically, due to my fear of a serious illness, I ended up in a very strong CT, which of course did not find anything. So I listened doctor who guided me through the search for the cause of my pain. Although one doctor told me it was anxiety but he is not an expert in the field. Of course the brain is still digging and telling me to go anyway and make sure it’s not something dangerous. Fortunately, it was not. But now anxiety and hypochondria do not give me months of peace because I think I will get something like cancer from ct because it was quite strong and in a large area. But as the brain continues to dig, in the end there are more articles on the internet and evidence that ct is not as scary as those numbers sound and it is impossible to prove that cancer just came from ct or genes, bad life habits and more. I read a study where a large number of children aged 0-19 were observed to have cancer for several years and eventually the non-irradiated group had a higher percentage of cancer than the irradiated group. And here we are talking about children who are much more susceptible to radiation than adults because their immune system and cells are still developing. It’s a little strange that no more research has been conducted in these 50 years as there is ct, but that’s probably because the risk is so small and it can’t be proven whether it came from ct either naturally or both at once. In the end it all depends on the genes and lifestyle again because even if the bottoms of the cells have mutated, it doesn’t necessarily mean it will turn into cancer for the rest of your life if you live a healthy life. Of course I can, but again the percentage is higher if you try to live healthier.

[@kevOzilla]

genes play a big role i would say exposure would be 2nd and last is lifestyle theres been alot of folks that developed cancer such as colon etc and they were vegan/vegetarians and they were rather healthy take chadwick boseman for example

[@trungson6604]

I am a physician and I almost always order MRI's, Sonograms, and plain Xrays for my patients instead of CT scans to limit radiation exposure. For the brain imaging, MRI is superior to CT in term of resolution and image quality. There are only a few instances that a CT scan is really necessary.

[@kevOzilla]

The issue is ct scans are cheap and mri is very expensive that insurances don't want to pay for especially in usa docs here have to prove the patient needs the mri or the patient pays out of pocket

[@trungson6604]

@@kevOzilla -- Good point. In my experience, the insurance companies often asked for medical records and sometimes talked to the doctor about medical necessity. With proper documentation and supportive evidences and diagnoses, the insurance companies approved the MRI requests for the vast majority of the time. They don't even suggest to use CT scan as a cheaper option. Once they are convinced of the medical necessity of the MRI, they will approve it.

Thanks for the videos. I was just having an anxiety attack because I had to get some tests done today at the hospital and was paranoid about being there because of covid. Anyways just wanted to say your videos helped relax me ironically. But also I had to get an xray done today of my lungs as I have done MANY times in the past since my mid teens. Im 36 now and don't have cancer (although I do have a benign growth in my brain which actually runs in my family). As someone who has gotten a lot of these tests done and is still walking upright I don't think they're something to be feared but as someone who has health anxiety I definitely understand the illogical need to worry.

Never do a ct u less absolutly necessary. A ton of radiation that damages your cells. Get an mri to protect yourself from radiation damage. Hope you stuck to your guns and got the scope first. I suffered from radiation sickness after a ct scan. They are not worth it and pose much more risk than the medical field let's on.

[@kevOzilla]

Colonoscopy and endo should be the first then maybe after even an ultrasound they shouldn't just jump to ct I get a ct will solve w.e it is and confirm 100% but they need to see if the risk is worth it say if your blood work comes back abnormal or they find something in the endoscopy or ultrasound

[@kadidedmon5799]

I am so happy I found this video! I have also had about 4 ct scans of the brain but for NO REASON!! i got the first one because I wouldn't stop bothering my doctor about how I think I have an aneurysm or brain tumor with no symptoms. So she gave me one and it's was clear. But I didn't believe it at all. So I went too the ER and lied about having the worst headache of my life. So they gave me another ct. Came back clear. Didn't belive it. Went somewhere else etc... It's now been 8 years. I use too reassure myself that it would take a decade or more before the scans caused brain cancer. But now that its been 8 years I am horrified! I am having all the symptoms of a pituitary tumor. I've had long black hairs growing on my upper lip and chin and on my toes. My periods are all messed up and almost non existent and I've been having pain behind my left eye. And eye twitches in both eyes that last for hours a day. Along with neck stiffness. I'm going too an obgyn in a week. I have no health insurance so I feel like the doctors I can see aren't going too competent. I'm also scared too tell the obgyn that I think I have a pituitary tumor cause I don't want them too think I'm crazy.... I am suffering 😫

im stressed about this too. i have had 2 ct scans of my head over the course of about 6 months. but it was head and neck so I'm even worried that its technically 4 and therefore much more radiation. i am very concerned about the long term effects this will have on me and i do have bad health anxiety. i try to eat healthy and exercise but its always in the back of my head that something bad will come of this. i am a Christian and i pray that God will bless my health and mitigate any negative effects from these scans. but of course its still hard to put it completely out of my mind so hopefully as time goes on I will simply forget the concerns of this. Also on the bright side! Although the consensus seems to be that there is a risk involved with these scans, the evidence is that they are relatively safe and if it were basically a death sentence then people would be collapsing left and right. But many people receive handfuls of scans and live on just fine. I will pray for you anyway because I know what it's like to worry. Our lives are in Jesus's hands.
