I am posting this mainly to get it off my chest as I do find it helps.
2 weeks ago my HA flared up, this was expected. I had to have a blood test before starting a treatment with dermatology. The treatment is fine and is for nothing serious but I was convinced my blood work would show some underlying issues. It didn't, I am fine and I have started treatment. Despite being ok the HA persisted which I knew it would. Couple this with over exercising, under eating and a very stressful week at work, I ended up having a funny turn at work where I went light headed. This then made my HA even worse. I took some time out, got a massive amount of sleep, did my breathing exercises and meditation and began to feel normal again. I went to work yesterday and felt fine on arrival. Within an hour a piece of news stressed me out and panic rose! Fluttery chest, dizzy head, fast breathing sense of dread etc and it lingered all day until an hour before I left at which point it calmed down I suspect because I new I was leaving. I was left with the anxiety hangover, tired, brain fog etc.
I am not in work today and I feel better. Still have the anxiety hangover but no panic etc.
Is it possible that I am experiencing chronic stress and that work is causing me to have increased anxiety and bring on panic attacks?? Can one location do that to you?? And how to I controll it?? Is this GAD??
