How long does it take to get blood test results?

I went in today to get my blood tested. Every horrible disease runs in my family. I haven't been tested in a while. I'm nervous. I'm usually healthy and fit. I'm 20 and a non smoker. I do a lot of walking and hiking. I'm 5'1" 104lbs. I saw 5 different doctors who said I had a viral throat infection. They all said my throat was swollen. I can eat and drink fine but after my throat feels tight and dry. It takes me a few seconds to swallow. My doctor checked my thyroid and said it felt swollen that my lymph nodes aren't swollen. I have dental issues and was on antibiotics for it. My lymphs under my jaw were swollen and ached. My dentist said I have no infection. Negative step tests. My neighbor is going to medical school she said my symptoms sound like I have Hyperthyroidism.(Tired, hardly sleep, swollen neck, weight loss, headaches, neck aches, anxiety) Please nothing negative. I'm already scared. My anxiety is bad. How long will it take lab work and a ultrasound to go through?

Recommended Answer:

Most blood work result are done in a day or less. Having the lab send the result to your MD and having the MD look at them could take longer. Most generally if a blood test is not normal or off the charts, the lab may notify the MD office so you would be notified right away. Of course, there are exceptions to that because the lab work was lost or someone forgot to fax it to the MD office.Did you have an ultra sound already? Or are you waiting for one? Generally, depending where you live, you should be able to have your ultra sound soon and the results are read and sent to your MD like your blood work in a day or two.
