X-ray question

2017-05-06 22:10:40
I had a head ct scan then two days later a chest X-ray for walking punmonia then 3 weeks later a second chest X-ray to see if it was clear. 10 days after that I got sick to my stomach and had a abdominal x ray. Could having these test in such a short period of time cause radiation poisoning?

Hello ......usually one will not do x ray for stomach pain,  it is only useful in perforation..  Otherwise ultrasound is a better investigation..  Ultrasound and MRI have less radiation hazard compared to CT and x ray..  But now it's OK..  Avoid x ray especially during pregnancy.....
