Hey guys,
So today was the first visit to my new doctor and I was absolutely terrified!:weep:
I was panicking since last night but it was worse when I got there. I had my blood pressure taken and for the first time, my blood pressure was high at the docs office and so was my pulse. Usually even when I saw my previous gp, my blood pressure would be normal(110-120/70-80) but my pulse would be racing at about(100-120).
But today I was a total mess with my anxiety and my reflux was reallty acting up which only made me more anxious. I sat down to have it taken and it was 158/85!!!!!! and pulse was 130!!!:ohmy:
The nurse asked if I was nervous and I told her that I was very nervous. She waited a minute to retake it and it went down to 128/82 but my pulse went to 120.
I'm only 21 and 've never had this happen before and I'm absoultely terrified that I'm having heart issues now. I talked to the new gp and she gave me a prescription for 30 xanax but is referring me to a psychiatrist for some long-term meds for a while. She also listned to my heart/lungs and said all was fine but I'm scared I'm not. I also have blood work scheduled for the next few days.
And I'm home now and I can't stop thinking of the blood pressure thing. I get the pulse thing as I've always had this issue when in a medical area but my blood pressure never spiked like that. :weep:
Please Please respond.
Thanks, Mark.
