Have been suffering for years now with multiple physical symptoms, off and on.

For the last week s it has been full blown nonstop, dizziness, nausea, eye pain, and so on. I just don't know what to do anymore, feel like this is never going to end. I try to be strong, get thru and use coping skills. But this is like being tourchered all day every day, and its just getting worse. I just want to somewhat better again. Thanks for listening.

What does your doctor say?

I've had many roadblock s, when dealing with doctors as well, my BP spikes with anxiety, and when I go to the doctors, it's always high, and the doctors tend to just focus on that. But ignore that it's anxiety, and in the mean time most of my other symptoms get ignored as well.

My BP is well controlled when I'm home and calm. But does spike when my anxiety increase s, I've tried several medications, but have had bad side effects, or they make my anxiety worse.

Just broke down and want to the ER.

They did a very good and through job.

Very respectful, and listened.

All blood work very good .

EKG perfect.

Heart monitor for 4 hours , no issues.

Full head CT great.

Did a series of physical tests to check for other issues. All good .

Prognosis , Anxiety related, including BP spikes,

Was told that for the amount of time I've been hyperstimulated, that it takes an equal amount of time for your body to return a normal state.

So going to use this as a new starting point, 👍

Hello, are these a result of anxiety? Have you ruled out other causes?

ok. so it maybe anxiety. Have you tried relaxation and breathing exercises. There are some great apps you can download for free and just listen to the voice/music and try and calm down.

Not what you're looking for?
