@mamajite I couldn’t get my ct changed if he were to request a change it would’ve been denied he said since u have to meet criteria for one and that they rarely do ct with contrast of the chest. Scan is in three days he said it will pick up a mass and is up to date, but now I’m worried abt my blood pressure because the diastolic was 59 and I felt lightheaded I always get really anxious at the dr so he told me then it is hypotension, which I read lung cancer is common to spread there and cause hypotension then he did the manual cuff the next time I saw him and said the diastolic was above 55 but wasn’t sure cus he couldn’t hear over my heart rate and they rechecked it with the digital cuff and it read high, at home my diastolic was 89

@ejjebdjeoe low blood pressure isn't too worrying. make sure you're staying hydrated with electrolytes, not just water. if it continues, ask to have your thyroid checked (those are just blood tests). I'm glad you don't have to wait very long for your CT scan.
