I like many of you want to make sure you aren't sick and aren't going to die anytime soon..
I hate guessing and wondering if its anxiety .. I have having so many symptoms of illnesses but not having all of them.
I hate not knowing but been to the doctor and she checked me over and over everything you can look for and check even ekg and every symptom in the book.. She said as far as I can tell there is nothing wrong with you.
Maybe high blood pressure.. maybe.. we will up your meds and see. .But other that that you have no damage showing of any disease or symptom of any illness,your heart sounds healthy your lungs sound perfect.. Your weight is good and I see no obvious things that would tip me off that there was something wrong..
Ok.. ruling everything out "maybe" then ok what about the high blood pressure.. The higher dose of meds just made me very very tired and out of breath ,pulse too low and just feeling irritable .
So we bought a blood pressure monitor and with my usual dose of meds not the higher dose its been just barely barely over normal putting me into pre- hypertension stage.. or borderline..
OK now im worried that maybe my blood pressure is too high or gets that way but I don't want to take meds that make my heart beat too slow or makes me feel tired.. Im taking a low dose now that its taken years to get used to or maybe it just got used to me but anything over that makes me feel bad..
As far as any disease I don't have classic symptoms of anything..
I do get tired some. I feel bad overall somedays.. I have sinus problems
I get headaches some "mostly tension" but still get them.. I get cold and sweat which for this place the pharmacist and a doctor has told me its the water being sucked out of your body because of low humidity and high altitude..
Also thats another ppint I have read where high altitude pushes your blood pressure up too.. This worries me..Before we moved here I never had higher blood pressure.. the beta blocker im taking was never prescribed for that it was prescribed because I would get anxiety and I would panic and it would keep my heart rate slower so It wouldn't get too high so it was never prescribed for high blood pressure.
Sorry for such a long post.. Really I am.. just all this bp stuff has gotten me almost angry.. You read ok if you have high blood pressure maybe its kidney disease. I dont have that, You read it could be Diabetes . I don't have that. They say it could be high cholesterol im not sure I don't have that but would say other than smoking there is not much other it could be to cause me to have high cholesterol ..
So in the long run your heart is sound or thought to be , your lungs are good or thought to be, your general health is good ,or thought to be..Why can't they give you a warranty or guarantee that you will be ok..
I guess what is so scary in HA is that you don't have control. You never know what could happen when or where.. Its just not fair.. We all could live to be 100 without worrying and when you are 99 and almost 361 days before you are 100 and you know you will die the very day you turn 100 Im thinking people would not health anxiety ,they would know when they were going to die and that would be that.
Im sorry really sorry about the long post.. I had to rant and rave a bit because I get so angry guessing if im sick or not or im good to go.. just as many of you do too. I know sometimes , "well more than others I post long post" but then again many times I read long post of others just to see how things are in their lives. I appreciate being able to blow off steam and your thoughts and comments on things I post here. God Bless you all
PS when The doctor asked me whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy are you so anxious.. I told her that I was afraid I was going to die.. Her answer.. WE ALL ARE GOING TO DIE..! wonderful supportive thought from my doctor..very nice huh?
