Hi
I have been having stomach pain and nausea for 4 months now. I have been treated fot a stomach ulcer but endoscope noted nothing apart from some sores in oesophagus. Doctor has said and advised that i should preferably go for an urgent CT scan but thinks the hospital will only send me for an ultrasound.
This moning i received an appointment for an ultrasound for my abdomen.
From what i hear a CT scan is more accurate but obviously more expensive. However i need to know for sure if I've got something or not.
Should I phone the hospital and ask for a CT scan or just accept I have to have the lesser check. Thing is if the ultrasound fails to see anything and i carry on with the same symptoms will they do a CT afterwards.
Thanks for any advice.
