Okay so I've had some chest pain recently... and I've had a full cardiac work up nothing significant found my concern is I also have kidney stones in the past 4 months I have had 12 ct scans a few on the chest, a few on the abdomen, and one was a coronary calcium scan.... well I've been getting so sick lack of appetite, headaches, stomachs upset, body aches, and after all this my chest still hurts my issue is I'm concerned with how many scans I've had in such a short time that I feel like that could be making me sick... and not to mention countless x Rays on top of this... could I have radiation over exposure I asked the radiologist and they laughed at me and said no... any opinions??

    Radiology from numerous CT scans can increase cancer risk.

      Well I know that! But I'm just concerned about the radiation in a short period of time making things worse I don't have cancer as of yet knock on wood. 😬 Like making me sicker...
