Sorry it's kind of a long story:
It all started around the final week of June I started getting headaches like crazy and I was wondering why anyway a few days go by and I was in my first period class in school when all of a sudden I got a really bad headache. I got real scared and got dizzy so I asked my teacher if I could go to the school nurse. When I went there the found my blood pressure to be real high so I got sent home and was real nervous cause my right side of my head was still throbbing and I was getting real scared I thought I was about to have some kind of stroke or something because things like that run in my family. That same day I went to see my doctor and she ran tests on my chest and my heart got blood and gave a urine sample. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and told me to lose weight cause I had a BMI of 44 (its 42 now) and I am Obese I always knew I was fat but never thought I was obese so she gave me some Metoprolol and sent me off my way.
Now I was real nervious and scared everyday thinking am I gonna get a stroke or a heart attack am I gonna live or die.anyway I went back to my Doctors and also prescribed me with some HCTZ and I felt even worse and had even more thoughts.
The 24 of June came along and my grandma died and I was real upset about it but wasnt really crying or mopeing like everyone else I was fine anyway that passed and we skip ahead to July where my mom went to the doctors room with me for my appointment and told the doctor how I was depressed and how I am always mopeing around seeming sad and pacing around on the floor all the time which to me I dont think I was depressed but anyway I paid little mind to it so my doc presribed me Fluxotine a low dosage and now im taking that along with my 2 other meds.
Skip ahead to August and I go to the Emergency room cause I got scared and had a massive chest pain and thought I was close to getting a heart attack. They found nothing wrong with me. Now its the end of August and I was talking with my folks one night about my problems how I felt and all that stuff. They told me that it has to be anxiety and I seemed to accept that since that same day I was home from school and I found a website call www.emedtv.com (http://www.emedtv.com) and all the symptoms of it was what I had. I told my Doc if it was possible about if anxiety could cause High Blood Pressure and she said yes so I asked a few questions and also asked if she can refer me to a therepist and she also prescrbed me Lorazepan.
Now were in the middle of September I had my first blown Panic Attack it happened in Algebra I was crying and I asked my teacher if I could go to my Crisis Counsoler she let me go. When I talked to him I told him what was going on and how I was slippping on my grades and just had no control over my mind or anything and felt like I was going crazy. I also had alot of shortness of breath and felt alot worse and everyday I would feel tired and dizzy and all I ever wanted to do was sleep.
Finally October came and now my tiredness has gone away (on some days) and theres even some days where I feel 100% healthy and other days I would worry and feel sick again every moring I would feel like I have a fever. This was actually the monthe where I found this website and has helped me big time with a few things I also went to go see my theripist and still talk to my crisis counsoler from time to time. now this week I got another appointment with my therepist and my doc the day after.
So thats pretty much it thats my story I am suffering big time now I'm still suffering with chestpains, headaches (once in a while now) my throat hurts and bothers me I get dizzy and I have shortness of breath sometimes I even am on a diet and excerise once in a while but I do get sharp pains sometimes when I do but I know it cant be to serious cause I had a 24hr montor strapped to me for my heart and I took a stress test in August and they were all fine.
I also sometimes think I'm gonna die and all kinds of stupid thought I already know that all this is in my head but its like my thoughts overpower me and I lose control. I even have questions too like if I really lose weight could I be better and also can obesity really cause anxiety.
Oh well my thread is getting too long so I should pretty much stop now I just dont know whatelse to do now I'm so scared and confused.
Thanks for reading and replies would be much appreciated.:)
