View Full Version : diagnosis and accepting
im going to visit my just registerd new g.p today as i suffer with indigestion and heartburn and recently had really bad 'episodes' but as these episodes get worse eg heart/chest pain i start to think that maybe something more is wrong eg heart attack,so then i start to panic and worry which starts a whole chain of different symptoms starting eg trembling,fear,drymouth,tight throat....which after searching this site and others i belive to be some kind of anxiety disorder.....which i have had minor episodes in the past and guess could say a couple major ones.
wondering what i should mention to my new doctor to start with the indigestion or the anxiety.
When I see a new doctor, I like to start by explaining that I suffer some anxiety. That way, if they are sensitive they will take a bit more care with me.
I usually do it the other way danj.
The reason being, I sometimes think that dr's are quite quick to dismiss a lot of stuff as anxiety or stress related without checking things properly.
I usually tell them my symptoms, see what they say and then talk about my anxiety.
ive never been diagnosed with anxiety,ive kind of came to the conclusion myself just recently,before hand......there WAS something wrong but im accepting anxiety now........as for this thread i posted iv obviously just been blind to anxiety http://www.nomorepanic.co.uk/showthread.php?t=44600
its true that indigeston get worse with anxiety yes?
Paul, Indigestion definitely can get worse with anxiety, anxiety could even be the cause of it.
Cico, I respect your approach, on the other hand, I don't want the doctor to reel out a list of possible diseases I might have, then I will leave even more scared!

that is possible but its only the rare occasion i find my self anxious before an indigestion or food related episode.....it is a condition that is in the family(the indigestion) well at least with my dad.
im in need to mention both conditions either way
