I have chest pain and insomnia. Doctors can not figure out why. I had 6 x-rays in 6 months. Is it too many?

Maybe x-rays aren't the answer. Try going to a cardiologist and neurologist that specializes in sleep disorders.
No one can tell you about your health care. Your going through something and your trying to fix it. As long as your not pregnant, you should be ok😊

  No I am a guy. I went to cardiologist already and they say nothing is wrong. I was under HIV scare. Now doctor order sputum culture to see if I have any infections after 5 months of chest pain.

If it was too much, your doctors wouldn't order that many x-rays!

  I failed my sputum culture exam twice already. It keeps saying contaminated. Is there any other test that can be done to see if there is infection in the lung.
