A member asked:
Can you get radiation sickness from having three head ct scans and a head x-ray in a month worried?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Modern CAT scans provide low levels of radiation, and a standard head X-ray would add very little additional exposure. Radiation sickness is unheard of under the described scenario. If your worries are affecting you significantly, you might consider Cognitive-behavioral therapy to learn coping skills.
