Hello all, first post so please be gentle.
Just had FIT done and results <4. Very happy. While in consultation with GP, he casually mentioned taking FC. He was confident that would be negative, given the current qFIT. Unfortunately, FC came back abnormal at 65. I appreciate that this is very borderline and some trusts use 60 as a cut off rather than 50.
This abnormal result has got me down the rabbit hole that is Google! I have learnt that PPI’s can give an elevated FC reading? I’ve been on them for 15 years.
I’m an otherwise fit and healthy 55 guy. Running 4 miles daily and eating well. I’ve got no symptoms really, but am on edge big time after a diagnosis of Barratts Esophogus in February. It is a tiny amount but has altered my perspective big time. I analyse everything now, like a dog with a bone.
I’m not sleeping and a bag of nerves right now.
Any help or kind words would be so welcome.
Take care all.
