Anxiety due to CT scans

2021-11-22 03:29:20
I had one HRCT chest due to covid in June 2021 and then one CT chest in October 2021 since I had severe chest pain in chest for 4 months and during these 4 months, I had one Xray, so wanted to know if these scan can lead to any issues later in the life or the body repairs all the damage by itself ?

If u go for more CT scans , it wpuld cause exposure to radiation.  Unless it is really indicated and prescribed by a doctor donot go for CT or any other test unnecessarily.
