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
