ct scan brain blood clot - #18884

Hriday

I am really worried right now. About a month ago, I started having these awful headaches, like really intense ones, and my vision got kind of blurry sometimes too. Went to the ER, and they did a CT scan of my brain, right? The doctor told me there was a possibility of a blood clot. Like, I couldn’t believe it! They said it was something they needed to monitor. They didn’t really explain what to do next though, and I keep wondering if I should get another CT scan just to make sure the blood clot isn’t getting bigger or something. My family is freaking out. Has anyone else been in a situation where they had a CT scan for a brain blood clot, and how long did it take for the results to show anything? What’s the recovery process like? Like, can it actually dissolve on its own? I’ve heard mixed things from friends. I'm trying to stay calm but it's really hard when you're left with so many questions like, how serious is this blood clot, and do I need to change anything in my life? Any advice or experiences would really help right now. Just feeling a little lost!
