hi all help is meeded please.
story goes like this.
i woke at 5am when my hubby went to work with horrendous pain in my left arm accompinaied with my usual chest pain(donjt no why every morning i get it doctor just said it was anxiety) anyway i was upset with the pain but decided to just go back to sleep and see if it healed so did untill 6.230 when my kids woke up. The pain was still bad so my instinct told me to ring nhs direct for the first time in a long lomng time still dont no why.
nhs direct...passed me to a nurse who was concerned about the apin and advised me to see my gp this morning, she got me worked up when she constanmtly said have you got some one who can be with you to take your child to school or have you littler one was confused and started getting worked up so she passed me toa out of hours doctor (dont no why i didnt ring them in te first place) the doctor had spoke to me back in january when i was really bad and ad my notes he said to calm down explain the pain. so i did. he said that the nurse was concerned of me having a panic attack hence asking me to get someone to help me (she should have explained that).
he advised me like the nurse to see my gp first thing to be checked out and to check my arm.
any one before read my posts will no my doctors are horrid.
so booked a appointment. walked in the doctor (a different one to beofore and ne that diagnoised my bronchtits ) said hello etc,. explained i had rang nhs direct for pain in my left arm and been advised to come into surgery. he got up checked my blood pressure said it was ormal then said....its a anxiety attack you have been told you haeve aanxiety you dont want anti-depressents so what can we do.. i said im not anxious im doing ok managing things better and cbt is helping me im getting better, (might i had i was sat in gfront of him very very calm, and i will be the first to admit being anxious and my blood pressure was nornmal and it would have been raised).
i said to him i have come about this pain that i woke with its painfull and dont no whats cayused it etc he again said anxiety and if i got it repeadtly then he would do tests (not what i asked)
SORRY for ythe lon winded story. anyway the pain has subsidd or had today but not im gettibng veruy anxious that its my heart. today i have been shopping alone in town and cut my friends gardern fromt and back and been shopping in supermarket and no pain untill now, i think now cos im thinking about it BUT IM SCARED WHAT IF ITS SOMETHING SERIOUS.
IM NOT VERY sad and adament taht anxiety has ruined my life if i dont die tonight from this pain then i will die eventually when i could have been saved because my doctors dont give a flying duck.
im angry taht my children will eventually lose a mummy unduly just because they wouldnt help me.
my sister once said to me EVER HEARD THE TALE OF THE BOY WHO CRIED WOLF WELL TAHTS YOU.
i was soooooo upset a the time and shouted as i dont ask to haev anxiety.. but shes right cos of stupid axiety and panic attacks my life is going to be cut short..
cna anyone help im a mess! what could be my left arm pain and how do i sort out my doctors to see im getting better and to stop it. i was misdiagnoised bronchitis anything could happen i frightened beyond belief!
