Hi Guys
I haven't been on these forums for a while been kidding myself I am ok when I'm really not 😔
Had a horrendous couple of weeks with my anxiety really bad I don't know why or how this has got so bad but maybe if I tell my story you guys can help me
I have IBS,underactive Thyroid,chronic nerve pain and fibromyalgia 😔
I take colofac,levothyroxine,lanzoprozole and amitriptaline for my nerve pain
around 11th Sept I stopped taking my Amitriptaline after I had convinced myself they were not really doing anything for me I stopped them on a Saturday and took nothing for my nerve pain all that week I was 3 weeks into a new job I am only a cleaner so nothing stressful or CEO like but I do a lot of mopping now which also could have affected my hands
I went to the doctors on the Thursday and told her my anxiety and nerve pain were getting me down I told her I had stopped my amitriptaline and she gave me Duloxetine I took one Thursday and one Friday on Saturday morning I had a horrendous panic attack I was so so scared I am petrified of hospitals and tests so the thought of going to any kind of walk in centre or A&E just cripples me with fear I can not explain how scared I get I was up and down all weekend little panics most of Saturday my anxiety does seem to be around my heart
First thing Monday morning went to se any GP he listened never did any checks on me I asked if he thought it could be because I stopped the Amitriptaline he said it could have I asked could it be the new tablets he said it could have he told me to go back to what I know ie the Amitriptaline and get rid of the new ones
I came away feeling much better but a little disappointed that he didn't check my blood pressure listen to my lungs etc etc I asked him twice if he was confident it wasn't my heart and he said absolutely
My week carried on sometimes I would be crippled by fear of maybe having to go hospital what if I ever do? How will I cope? What if I'm not here tomorrow? What will my kids do? It went on and on so yday morning I went back doctors I had had a cold so I was very congested causing me headaches I got him to check that out he said siniutitis and gave me a nasal spray I spoke to him about my anxiety he listened to my lungs he said clear he listened to my heart said it sounded normal then he took my blood pressure 165/83 or 167/83 can't remember exactly which one but deffo one of them 😔 he said top number was a bit high he said it was probably my anxiety but I have to go see the nurse in 2 weeks to have it checked again if it is still high I will have to have a 24 hour blood pressure monitor 😩😩😩
As I type this I am aching all over Fibromyalgia? I feel colicky IBS? I have headache Sinnutitis? My back I suffer with the worse it is very stiff my hands tingle my arms sometimes feel cold I am so so scared I can't even put it into words I have little probably 30 seconds of panic I manage to hide from my family where in my head I am down the hospital rigged up to all sorts of machines with a doctor looking at me like he doesn't know what is wrong 😩😩
Could this be because I stupidly stopped my pills? My amitriptaline? They are only 10 mcg but are they helping me more than I thought? Could it have been 2 days of the Duloxetine? They were 60mcg I don't want to feel this way anymore I've had enough please help 😢😢😢
