Terrified
I feel terrified all the time now about my health. It’s never ending. I just want my life back!
It’s a long story. I broke my ankle and have been basically in bed for a month and not putting weight on it. Then I developed a severe cold or sinus infection and it hasn’t gone away and im panicking that it could be an autoimmune disorder because it seems like i am not producing mucus… it sounds crazy but it’s scares me.
I have health anxiety, too. I panic all the time when I'm about to take my blood pressure, and my pulse skyrockets to 150 bpm and my blood pressure is always so high, like 140/89 or even 150/100 if I'm very nervous. But when I'm calm, it's like 131/85 or 120/79, and even 116/69 sometimes. I hate this so much, I want to get rid of it yesterday. The doctors will misdiagnose me with high blood pressure if this keeps up. Do any of you have any tips? I am so sorry about your struggles.
My doctors diagnosed me with high blood pressure too, but I’m sure it’s for the same reason as you that I’m always in constant worry that it goes up, I’m always worrying about my health too!
I feel the same lately that I have an oximeter to constantly check my oxygen to make sure I'm breathing fine. Doctors can't figure out what's wrong with me and it scares me.
