Hi
I am due to see the kidney consultant today for a chat about having a kidney biopsy. A few people on the site have been really reassuring and helpful regarding my worries about this in their messages to me.
I woke panicking at 5am and I am dreading going to the hospital.
I have been in and out of hospital so many times in past year and the last time, was when my Dad died suddenly at christmas and then my mum ended up very ill in hospital 2 days later for a few weeks - we thought she was going to die. The thought of going into the hospital makes me feel ill ! Its the association of all the things that have happened and the hospital itself. I am trying to be logical about it but the anxiety is overwhelming me.
I am taking Citalopram and this does help me but today I am really anxious - I feel like I could do with taking another tablet today but not sure if I could do this - doubling the dose?
I know I have nothing to worry about compared to what some people go through and are going through on this site too, but I just feel so sick and anxious about going to see the consultant and this is just for the consultation to discuss the biopsy and not for the biopsy itself.
Sorry to whinge :weep:
