CT scan coming up [View all]

Took some Xanax since i was having facial tingling. My Dr actually got me a CT at my regular practice. No dentists referral involved. Concerned bc I feel my left eye twitching. Want answers, but scared. Hope the test isn't too unpleasant. Thanks to you all. Cannot believe finally getting something done.
