Hello,
So a little about me. I've had an anxiety and panic disorder since I was sixteen. I'm now 28, it comes and go's depending how busy my life is, if I'm busy and happy I don't really panic that much if not then I panic to the extreme.
This problem has affected my life for nearly thirteen years. Recently I have had extreme dizziness, derealisation and depersonalisation, intrusive thoughts and continuous anxiety. I started getting very tired, weak and felt sick about a month or so ago and I thought it was due to how stressed I was. I went to the Docs anyway just to be sure and he did some blood tests. They came back inconclusive so I had to come back for more.
Anyway I went back last week as he had requested to see me and he told me there is something wrong. Its very confusing but I will try to explain, My actual thyroid is ok but the hormone that controls my thyroid is very high the normal level is 0-60 mine is 284! I have high blood sugar and glucose levels and some other tests came back very low.
Its so confusing and I'm really not sure what Is going on. The worst thing is, is that I now have to wait until the 5th of December to see a endocrinologist at hospital.
I'm just very worried and my dizziness is getting worse, it almost feels like I'm going to pass out or fall over.
I know most of us aren't doctors but I wondered if anyone else had experienced this sort of thing? And do you think that's what's causing my high levels of anxiety and panic.
I will admit I am scared as I just don't know what it all means and what's going on. I know that's why I'm going to see a specialist but its just so long away. Im starting a new job soon and I really don't want how I feel to affect it in any way.
Sorry for the long and confusing post.
