side effects of ct scan???

Question

i had a ct scan done almost 2 months ago for a pain in my lower right abdomen (which i thought could be appendicitis) but it came out as a normal study.....2 days later i was having tight pains in my chest and my left arm was numb for a little while...i started feeling like i was going to die and my breathing was a little short plus i was having heartburn symptoms also....my bro, which is a chiropractor, thought i was just having a panic attack....i have now been having small , weak pains every now and then on my left side on the pec area plus been under a lot of depression and stress about this....i went to an internist and had an ekg done (which was normal), cholesterol test (which was normal), bp was 128/70, and heart rate was normal.....the doc said i was too young too be having heart problems and thought it was stress related.....ive also been seein a chiropractor and gettin reg adjustments bc i have sublexation on my thoracic area and cervical area....whats the deal???

im 21 male, 6ft 160 lbs...played sports..use to smoke weed every other day for 3 years up until beg of april (had ct scan on may 31st, turned out to be a muscle strain).......could this be from ct scan or what bc ive never had symptoms like this until these past couple months.....the pains are weak but present....medical professionals please respond.....

and can a ct scan of my abdomen and pelvic area pick up anything related to my heart (i.e. cancer, heart disease, etc.)

Answer 1

If you have given up weeds it is a withdrawl phenomena, you will alright in a couple of weeks, because the body is adjusting to normal, such odd symptoms are common. You should have strong will power than you will make it.

Best of Luck.

Answer 2

you sure it wasn't a MRI? and no there should not be the symptoms you talk about, are you sure they are real or are you a hypochondriac?

take a couple ibuprofen at meal times and stop thinking you are dying,

Answer 3

I think you need a shrink!
