worrying over laxatives - need your thoughts.

ok, last year i went through a rough spot with my body.
throughout the whole era, i never once made myself vomit. however, i did use ex lax to try and lose weight.

i maybe used 3 or 4 of the pills, and maybe 5 enemas, then i threw the ex lax away and never did an enema again or touch a laxative.

however, studying up on laxatives, i know it can be harmful if you abuse them, but i've begun to worry just about the 3 or 4 pills i did take.

i don't know if it helps but i used to be constipated earlier as a child? and nothing much came out of the laxatives anyway.

a month or so ago, i went in to get checked for my heart and electrolytes because i was having panic attacks etc, and they said that everything in my heart was normal and my electrolytes were perfect and nothing was wrong in any way.

after all that, should i really be worrying about this now, after all it's been about a year if not around that or later.

thanks for your opinions/help etc

I think that if it's only 3 or 4 pills once, and not 3 or 4 a day over a long period, and your heart is fine, you can stop worrying now.
If something had been wrong they not only would have seen it on the tests, but you also would have felt something yourself, since it's already been a year.
If you had used more pills, over a longer period of time there could have been some damage, but now...no, no need to worry I'd say.

yeah, it would just be ex lax, 1 every 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 days or so and that's it. i had one of those heart tests where they plug those objects on to your heart and do all those in depth tests, they said nothing was wrong, reading about people's horrible experiences with them just horrified me though and you know, i'm known to be a WORRYWART and overanalyze things until it ruins me, basically

So you used 1 pill every couple days for how long?
If I understand correctly over a period of roughly 20 days?
I seriously doubt that would cause any damage, if you had taken 2 each day for a period of 20 days I still doubt there would be serious long lasting consequenses.
And if they did a test that was good, there's probably nothing wrong.
I think you can stop worrywarting now.

You're just fine! That shouldn't have affected you at all. It's only dangerous if you do it for a long period of time. You used it pretty much as anyone would take doses!
