hi everyone hope your well Im a 30 year old generally healthy male
4 months bk I was involved in a traumatic experience I presumed my time was up and I was trapped my heart rate went through the roof and and my chest muscles contracted like when you get cramp in your calf, I presumed this pain was my heart and it made matters worse Im sure you all know the drill... anyway I was rescued then at hospital I was told Id had a major panic attack due to the situation I was in they ran checks and said Im fine they also checked Liver kidn etc all came back fine
however I feel Ive been cursed and blessed Im happy to be alive but I now have chronic anxiety/ocd you name it its there which you guessed it is bringing on more of these panic attacks daily edgeness and debilitating my life
I get regular hourly twinges and throbbing pains especially in my chest area which sets me off Ive started to do weird things like burp/gulp all the time which ofcourse is causing indigestion etc in the evening and more chest pains
Im grinding my teeth which is causing headaches etc etc weird face feelings so I think OH GOD STROKE
I had another panic attack the other night and thought I cant go on like this so went to hospital the morning after ECG was fine and finger Oxygen thing was 98% nurse was reaussruring said this is all good
HOWEVER LOL my BP was 170/100 its never been this high before about 6 months ago it was 130/85
now this reading has made me worse and freaked me out
My doctor has prescribed me atenolol 50mg it seems to have calmed me a bit and told me to come bk this week for a recheck
Ive got it set in my head everydays my last day and ofcourse it never is
I take it Im overwhelming myself causing these BP readings even though my hr was normal?
any help or advice would be much appreciated as I was only feeling like my old self when I have about 5 pints of beer but of course pay for it the day after
thanks
