Update on the chest pain
| Mon, 01-22-2007 - 4:43pm |
Thanks Jan for encouraging me to get reassurance. I called my dr. and they saw me within the hour. They do not believe my chest pain has anything to do with cardiac issues. My bp was 110/70 (not bad for someone with anxiety huh?)- and my 02 was 100%.......temp normal and lungs clear. They decided to do an EKG just to ease my mind and it was perfect. She thinks my pain is jsut from holding the babies all day and I pulled something (let's hope).
Thanks for the encouragement. Now if I could only stop worrying. It never ends..........Now I'm worried about why I'm so tired. God help me. I cannot break out of my vicious cycle........

i was just about to post to your other post when i saw this:)
i'm glad to hear that its not a cardio thing:)
but i can totally relate to the worrying, the vicious cycle...
as soon as i stop obsessing about one thing i move on to another...it is a vicious cycle!
I'm glad it is not cardiac.

What would I ever do without you gals? You are such a wonderful group of supportive women and I love you all for that.
As for me, well, Jan, I can say you know what you are talking about now don't you? I feel worse mentally tonight even though my dr. said I was fine. It is taking a bit for me. I am so down lately due to the weather, being trapped in the house, etc. My family says I have to get out more. But honestly, where does one go with small children? It's too cold to bring them out and walk, and all my friends have gone back to work/school so no one is around much. Any ideas?
I called the Yoga place down the street and I'm going to try a beginner's class on thursday. I think I may benefit truly. Meds and therapy don't seem to be helping me much right now. I think it's the "place" I'm in.......any advice from those BTDT????
I was on paxil for about 5 years, then last August decided to try going off of it. I was great for a few months then the panic attacks came back. My dr. put me back on paxil, but it was too high of a dose right away. I ended up with horrible side effects, couldn't eat, no energy crying all the time. So he switched me to cymbalta which made the effects worse. Finally I was put back on paxil, a smaller dosage and am gradually getting better.
It is nice to know there are people out there who have experienced the same things I have!
