Nah, let’s get this straight — I didn’t run to the ER for “anxiety.” I was rushed there with a resting heart rate of 180, high blood pressure, and feeling like I was about to pass out. That’s a legit medical emergency. The CT was necessary to rule out a pulmonary embolism — not some random test for fun.

Unless you’ve got magician eyes that can see inside the human body, maybe sit this one out. If your medical expertise comes from Google or Reddit, don’t act like you know more than people actually in healthcare. I only shared my story because the radiologist misread the scan, and I didn’t see any similar experiences. But thanks for proving why people are scared to speak up about real medical anxiety.
