Hello
Just wondering if there are any diabetic people on here or who know any who have health anxiety, I was diagnosed a week ago and have had a really tough time with this, unfortunately I googled it and have pegged myself for death, I’m worried my kidneys are damaged and I have high cholesterol ( they didn’t do a cholesterol check ) I have been put on 500mg of metformin twice a day while I loose weight as ideals I want to put this into remission and diet control this. I have also checked my blood pressure as the nurse didn’t bother and it’s around 138/97 all the time so this is a new worry for me, at one point my bp shot to 189/119 while I was having a panic attack, I have never had anxiety so bad I nearly fainted twice and I have never done that before. I guess I’ve just got myself into a mess about this I honestly feel like I have been handed a death sentence. My anxiety was good before this but now I’m back up on a high worrying every twinge is kidney or liver failure or I’m having a heart attack or stroke and now cancer has crept back in to 😩 sorry to blurt this all out, I guess it feels better just to say this to people who understand the added strain of anxiety on top of something else.
