Hello, i am new here. I have been a Hypochondriac since I was a preteen, and it has gotten worse since then. i am 25 now. Anyway, onto what happened.
I was bringing up the laundry from my basement to put it in my car. i am overweight and have been out of work for a while, so i am not in shape in the least and the laundry was rather heavy, so i was a little winded. After i brought it up, I went into my bedroom to look for my keys on my bed. it's a low bed, so i had to bend down a bit. When I straightened myself up, my vision did something so odd. it looked like my field of vision was dropping down and being replaced my blackness. i was also hot and sweating and dizzy and my heart was pounding. I layed down on my couch in the living room and felt a bit better, but ever since then I have been so anxious.
i went to the doc's later on that day. My blood pressure was a little high, 140/91, but I was really anxious and when i am not it is normal, so she wasn't too worried about it. She listened to my heart and breathing, and checked my eyes, it all seemed normal.
She also had me take some blood tests. All came back normal ,except my white cell count was a little high. They want me to retake it after the holidays. Now on top of worrying about my heart and blood pressure, i am worrying about my white blood count :unsure:
I also have no insurance, so while i want to have more tests done, i cannot afford them, adding to my anxiety :weep:
