I'm finding things very difficult at the moment, although I may feel like I'm not stressed, subconsciously I'm very aware I am and feel consistently tense.
Wednesday night, I sitting watching TV with my mum, when I got a sudden almost felt like a rush of dizziness and woozy feeling. Then when I went to bed, I still had it for almost an hour. That is when I started to get very panicky and anxious. So I got really worried and called to see the out of hours doctor, went to see him, he was a horrible and rude man, who said my blood pressure was high and I needed to go to hospital and that was all he said.
So I got home, and still felt this way, as I'd no one to bring me to the hospital my mum called the ambulance (never had an ambulance ever), so they arrived and I explained how I was feeling. They took my BP, at the out of hours doctor it was 159/100.
The paramedic men were really kind and caring, they took me into the ambulance and did more BP there, it went from 163, down to 143 systolic. They said it wasn't dangerous, and it was going down, and that they were happy to take me to the hospital or I could wait to see my own doctor in the morning.
I decided to wait and see my own doctor and thanked and apologised because I honestly thought something terrible was wrong with me like a stroke or aneurysm or something.
Anyway, went doctor next morning (all covered of course through all this), and my doctor did vertigo tests, no vertigo and took my pulsa, oxygen, listened to my heart and re-checked my BP again, it was 133/98, which he said was perfectly fine. And for me, to get a 24hr BP monitor (wait 2 weeks for it), anyway, yeah, he wasn't worried, and I asked was it just some sort of dizzy spell and he agreed.
So that was som relief, and I know the past few months I've never been more tense, more stressed and worried about my family and of course myself but I'm constantly tired, exhausted and drained. I've no energy, I'm drinking as much water as I can as it is quite humid lately here in Ireland, and the house is heavily insulated so can feel quite claustrophobic at time, so fans on a lot, no air conditioning.
I was fine yesterday, but today I've had a little woozy sensation, usually at night, not sure if it's BP related or humidity or anxiety or all of them in some way. I also got this tingly sensation on side of my face, which seems to have calmed down now but I feel so overwhelmed with this. And I'm still worried about this virus and that out of hours caredoc was the most rude and really aggressive care person I've ever met, he was even rude to my mum.
Sorry, I just need to vent all this and ask if anyone has had similar symptoms? I'm 32 by the way, female, slightly overweight and hypothyroid (which could be a reason for that tingly sensation, not sure). On medication for it.
I do suffer with anxiety and depression. I'm taking 10mg Propranolol mainly for anxiety.
Yeah, just feeling a bit scared and alone and feeling so much right now, that was very overwhelming for me.
