Day after

[Boogiebear]

Well yesterday I had the tubes put in for my inner ear issues. Everything went well. I felt a release of pressure and calmness. Today I I still have the under water feeling that comes and goes. I'm going back to work next week and decided to call my doc and talk more about the anxiety I have been having. Not sure if medication is the right route for me but I'm trying make positive steps to help improve myself. Being proactive!

That's good. Medication is all good but I don't take it unless I need too. Like my Xanax only as needed. But look into all your options.

[Boogiebear in reply to Espinoza38]

Thank you. I'm trying to figure out the best options for me. I've started trying out meditation with the headspace app. Have you tried it?

[Espinoza38 in reply to Boogiebear]

Why yes I have and I love it. I also down loaded this breathing app. It's called breath to breath it shows you how to control your breathing.

[Boogiebear in reply to Espinoza38]

Does it help alot with chest tightness? I seem to get that alot when I'm very anxious.

[Espinoza38 in reply to Boogiebear]

It actually does. You just gotta push thru the breathing. It's helped me. I hate the chest tightness also. I feel like not enough air goes in

[Boogiebear]

Thank you. I'm going to give it a try. Hope you have a good day!

[Boogiebear in reply to fauxartist]

Thanx . I go to the doc tomorrow to talk about my issues. Not sure how it will go but at least I'm taking the steps.

[fauxartist in reply to Boogiebear]

yes you are...and that's a really good thing...when you get a good fit with your therapist a lot of clarity and resolution is possible to help move forward. It's not always the easy road for us...your doing great....
