Lung X-Ray

Posted 07 October 2013 - 01:13 AM

I ended up at the ER with an exercise induced asthma attack on Friday. After I was given the oral steroids, I was told I would be having an x-ray of my lungs done. How can I demonstrate how enthused I was not? Reluctantly, I agreed. I smoked for 24 years and you can bet I was nervous to hear what my lungs looked like. While waiting for the results, it actually crossed my mind to leave without learning the results. Realizing how ridiculous that would have been, I stuck around. It was really nerve-wracking waiting to hear. Come to find out the results came back just fine. Nothing in my lungs that didn't belong there. Heart looked good too. Stable compared to an x-ray I previously had in 2004. I'm always going to be nervous that something is going to show up. All I know is I will never put that poison in my lungs again.
