I had a CT scan that showed cecal tip mucosal wall thickening up to 12 mm. I got the scan because my doctor thought I had diverticulitis. I was wondering if thickening can be something other than cancer? How long have you been concerned about the thickening? How old are you? Are you currently using any medications? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know? Could it still be diverticulitis? Also, could a polyp ever show as a thickening? Is there any chance it could be “normal” thickening for my cecum? Is it inflammation or cancer? If it says mucosal lining thickness - does that mean that it is only in the mucosal wall? Is this an indicator of how much the inflammation or cancer has grown? How often would a 12 mm area be cancer versus inflammation? I appreciate your help. I’m just scared and sad that it seems like it keeps leaning toward cancer. I guess even pre-cancerous polyps are not something to cause thickening? When it says measuring up to 12 mm...is this the length involved in the thickening or the extent of the thickening? Finally - I don’t suppose major stress could create thickening? It has been a really hard 10 weeks for us, and my stress and anxiety has been through the roof. It is 12 mm of thickness (depth). How do I know the length of the thickness?

I’m afraid I may have something in my heart. Sometimes I get strong beats that can feel a little painful. It’s more scary than painful, but it’s really odd to me. I’m 24 years old, obese, and have pretty bad anxiety. My symptoms vary, sometimes it could start with a thump followed by an irregular heart rhythm, or on rare occasions I feel a strong thump mildly painful when walking up a hill or something. What could these symptoms be related to, and what should I do?

I need to have an ECG read to see if someone can be cleared for an ibogaine treatment. The person had an enlarged heart on an ECG 6 days ago, but now the new ECG shows no enlargement. Is it possible to treat an enlarged heart that fast? Additionally, I have a liver panel that needs to be looked at.
