hello everyone ..
I'm new so forgive the length of this post but i wanna give you all some idea of my problem and hope to get some advice ..
My problem started when i was 15 i was on a regular visit to the dentist and for some reason that day my gag reflex was really bad . I have a phobia of being sick so this made that worst .. i began to panic which in turn worst again ... since then i have a real fear of dentist i have been a few times but each time the gag reflex is soo bad that it puts me in a panic that im going to be sick . they have even said its soo bad they cant do anything for me whilst awake . i was put to sleep for dental work once which was ok ..
Now though they are reluctant to put me to sleep for the past ten years because i have arterialschlorosis .. ?? so i got pregnant at 20 and since then my teeth became soo weak they would just break apart . but this fear of the dentist meant i just put up with it . just the thought of going dentist sent my head into a spin ..
All this is soo irrational . but i just cant help it.. anyway im 29 now . my teeth are now quite bad (the back ones anyway ) that ive suffered abscsses in the past .. for which i always run to my doc for anti biotics because i think the abscess is gonna poison my system and i constantly worry about that ..
so anyway to my present situation .. I have no toothache or abscesses at the moment however i have a lump in my throat pains in my neck and difficulty swollowing but no problem eating or drinking . Ive had this before and it just dissapeared .
So now the reason i feel im stuck in a loop is that Im soo terrified of going to the dentist and having anything put in my mouth which will make me sick . yet im also soo scared that this in my throat is cause by my bad teeth at the back . and is going to poison me ..omg each is as scary as the other ..
I realise this could be anxiety because i am the sort of person who when i get an ache or a pain i always think the worst . a leg ache to me is a clot . a headache a tumour etc etc ..
I hate seeing the doctors i always feel im wasting their time the number of times ive soo wanted to just call an ambulance but dont because i feel silly .
But i reluctantly went to the doc yesterday and was given beta blockers for what she says is anxiety she said my throat looks fine . she did bp. listened to my chest. temperature . all the usual ..
Im just so fed up of being scared all the time .
Any advice
