Think too much Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I have been having really bad headaches. They get so bad I get very sick and dizzy. I thought it was just stress but I could not get it under control so I went to the doctor who recommended an MRI. I had that done and my pcp told me something doesn't look right. He needs to consult with another doctor and he will call me. The nurse called said the doctor wants to meet with me.. I have other appointments so I can't get in until next week. I am stressing out! I don't know what it could be Link to post Share on other sites

Author Think too much Posted November 17, 2004 Author Share Posted November 17, 2004 If it was really bad he would have sent me to a specialist... right? Link to post Share on other sites
RowanRavyn Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I would think so, but I would be rearranging heaven and earth to find out what IS wrong! Link to post Share on other sites
Author Think too much Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 I am trying to reschedule and rearrange... I am not sure if it's possible. Thank you so much for replying to my post RowanRavyn. Link to post Share on other sites
tiki Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Demand clarification from him on what 'doesn't look right'. Ask for the imaging report, they have to give it to you, it's your medical record. Link to post Share on other sites
HokeyReligions Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Originally posted by tiki Demand clarification from him on what 'doesn't look right'. Ask for the imaging report, they have to give it to you, it's your medical record. That's probably what the meeting is about. Demanding won't get anywhere. I had an MRI not too long ago and something didn't look right in mine either. (actually I had two of them done because something didn't look right) Turns out I had a pretty nasty sinus infection and the MRI is the only thing that showed it. Cured with antibiotics! Don't worry -- "not looking right" does not always equal something serious! Link to post Share on other sites
Author Think too much Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted November 22, 2004 My appointment is today I am probably over reacting. My headaches have gotten a little better. Link to post Share on other sites
on the edge Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 hope all goes well for you today! sometimes if a doctor is in a "general" practice and he's not sure about something questionable, it's in your's and his best interest to get a second opinion/consultation with another doctor that practices in one area of medicine only, like surgery, cardiology, neurology, etc. scary it is, but for the best. like hokey said it doesn't always mean something "bad". stay strong!
