Medical X-ray - was asked to come for 2nd one?! PLEASE ADVISE

Hi All

I have a question with regard to medical x-ray. I had an x-ray a couple of weeks ago and then I got a text on my mobile asking to contact the x-ray department. Basically they called me to get a re-test.

When I had my re-test last Wednesday I asked them if there was a problem and they simply said no no problem. Now I am awaiting my result which I have been told takes 3 working days.

This has started to concern me a little now and I just wanted to know from anyones experience if there is anything I need to worry about.

In terms of health I am happy to say I have never had an issue in the past so am a little concerned.

Thanks in Advance.

thanks guys. Inshallah there will not be a problem. Your comments give me some comfort. The second x-ray was exactly the same as the first one. Apart feeling the heat in doha since I arrived my health has been perfect.

I once had a miserable Christmas because of this. Nothing was wrong. If you move during the examination, if you are larger than average, if there is an equipment or human failure you will be recalled. If there is a genuine problem the 2nd x ray session would be much more detailed with exposures taken from different angles etc. Don't anticipate problems too much, they come anyway when u dont expect them.

Dont worry dear, it is quite normal some times, if the exray was not clear they will ask for another one, did u affected by any cold symptoms before, r u taking any antibiotics.....if so let me know....hopefully it will be done..dont worry....all the best.
