Extreme health anxiety
I was getting throat infections often, so I went and saw an ENT specialist. He immediately asked me to do a CT scan for sinus - PNS CT scan. He gave medicines too. The next day I went to the scan center, there were many warning signs. Even the nurse said it has radiation. Even ChatGPT said CT scan has radiation and shouldn't be done unnecessarily. I should have said, I will think about it and come tomorrow. But I paid the money then they asked to sign a paper that they are not responsible for any side effects. Then the report came back and the doctor said no sinus problem. But I feel extremely anxious about the side effects. I read so many articles online and they said even one CT scan can increase the cancer risk in future especially in women who are younger. I am around 25 years old, female. I asked the doctor and he gave me an anti-depressant but I am still not convinced. I am still feeling extremely lost. I feel like I spoiled my future. Please someone help me from this mental pain

Can Sitagliptin be given in prediabetes
Can sitagliptin/metformin 50/500 1 tab once day be given to patient in prediabetic range?
72 year, weight 52 kg. Hba1c is 6.4. FBS remains normal. PPBS around 130-140-143. Has early compensated liver cirrhosis. Normal creatinine. Hypertension.
Dr who prescribed also said to increase the dose. I hv heard prediabetes can b managed on metformin alone but not sure. No proper response from dr.
Please tell whether or not sitagliptin/metformin is right drug and dose for her n her condition??🙏🏻
BP remains high. Can it pose any risk if u consider it over treated.
