So the past few days my anxiety has been at an all time high.. Back to where I started, feeling like I can't breathe, having to constantly check my heartrate, all of that.. Now today I woke up feeling amazing.. But then I started thinking "well you might feel amazing but what if your heart rate is still fast?" and just like that, my day is ruined.. I'm just going back and forth in my head wondering if there is possibly some underlying medical condition they're going to tell me I have tomorrow, or if its just another anxiety workup that they're going to sit down and talk to me about.. So if they've done tests recently (ekg, catscan, chest xray and bloodwork) and they're all normal and they sent me home, is it safe to say they're just concerned about my growing anxiety since stopping the meds a few weeks back?? Its so annoying that i kind of make myself worried and I don't even mean to do it. Finally have my psychiatrist referral so I'll be seeing her asap, I can't wait to get tools to stop telling myself I'm hurting.. Its shocking how I feel no pain until I get worried most of the time..
You sound just like me! Can I ask why you stopped your meds?
1. I was pregnant and stopped taking them within the week (recently lost baby so want to get back on meds) and
2. I didn't want to rely on meds forever since they say postpartum anxiety does eventually stop.. Now I realize I'm not ready to be off meds yet clearly lol
Oh I'm really sorry to hear about that but it is awesome that you're realizing this! I felt the same about the meds but think about it if we had high BP we'd take those meds. I try not to worry about the future and more about the now!
