This is somewhat of a documentation if anything but I am looking for assurance and supportsupport.
Last week I had two high BP readings of 157/103 and 165/108. Ever since, my anxiety has sky rocketed. I started a new job and it has been micromanaging and stressful. I've had plenty of instances of chest, shoulder, back, neck, jaw, arm pain. And tonight I was nauseous after some Applebee's and a bit of shoulder pain.
I was planning to work out (I have been walking daily for 30 to 60 min at a time) but decided I was too tired after I got home. I sat down and the nausea started. I flew into panic mode and said I need to go to the ER. Almost cried. I don't want that. So then the left side of the brain kicked in and said, either stay here and stew about it or go work out. I decided to pace myself out of the house and over to the gym where I started light walking. Immediately felt a stiffness and tightness in my chest. Stopped and almost cried again. Surely this is happening, and at 28 1/2 years old no less. Decided to face my fear and say no more panic. No more panic. I did 40 minutes of brisk walking and ignored the pain, and it went away. I feel great!
I had an ekg done last summer that turned out clear and a zio patch that also turned out clear. Of course now my panic says did it miss something or is that result still valid?
Anyone else deal with these things? Chest pains can be scary.
