My doctor visit today

So i went to the doc today had labs done. and I'm scared of the results. I'm having anxiety attacks. please i need to hear it'll be ok.

ps had to fix so many spelling errors. i was freaking out when i wrote this.i didnt even notice till this morning.

quick update day 3 and counting, the waiting is killing me amxiety growing

It will be okay :-)

What values are being looked at and why? Otherwise, why would you worry? Blood labs being ordered is very common in the United States these days.

DrJ: It has happened that when visiting my doc for a not much important issue, he or she ordered "routine" blood tests because it had been years since the last one.

Also - there are many measurements and they flag as "outside of bounds" those that fall outside of say 95% of the population. The thing is, if you do sufficiently many measurements, you are bound to have a one or two outside of these bounds.

And some of these measurements have to be taken with caution - for instance a high blood cell count can be triggered by common cold or similar.

he said there might be something wrong with my thyroid, liver or diabetes or a mix of all three 😢

It will be okay :-)

thank you, Spank 😃

Day 5!, and still nothing. I'm dying a slow painfull death. anxiety level to the max.

I'd relax Dr J hoping " no news is good news"

Usually here if they show anything significant they contact you by phone and ask you to go in and see them either the same day or the next day .

Hope they turn out fine

Hey DrJ,

I understand anxiety etc, especially being unsure, but like mentioned usually if there is something not so good, they will call you and let you know. If it makes you feel better why don't you call them, and just find out if and when results will be in? Did the doctor mention approx when the results would be in? Sometimes they do say could be a week or in the next few days.

Hang in there and try and relax a little, that's what I am always told when I am having crazy anxiety

Hugs
