just curious

If you go to casualty/ER, do you tell them you have anxiety before being cleared physically or not?

Hiya

I think this would be a personal choice. I always do tell them because i am always a bag of nerves Lol.

when i had heart palpitations i told them, otherwise no, but i have only needed to go to the er twice

I think I would worry that they would dismiss my symptoms to easily but then if I told them after would they be annoyed and remember me? lol

Medical staff can almost always tell the difference between anxiety symptoms and symptoms caused by other things. If I suspected that my anxiety might be playing a part in my symptoms then I would probably tell medical staff that I was prone to it, because my anxiety symptoms might distract them from my 'real' symptoms if you see what I mean.

I always say to them I do suffer from anxiety but this is not anxiety related - (yeah right)
