Is this anxiety?

[Kettl]

Hi all, I recently have been very worried about my liver and have had some results that need following up. I’m seeing a gastroenterologist soon. My problem is I’ve been anxious and I don’t know if the intermittent hand shakes and fast heart rate spikes are anxiety or illness. It seems to come on first thing in the morning and intermittently through the day. It scares me as I get a bit dizzy and off with it. It’s not while I’m stressing, can just happen. Does this sound like anxiety? Thanks for your help.

Yes it sounds like anxiety. With a pending medical work up it's not unusual.

When is your appointment? The sooner the better. Information is power.

Take care of yourself

Thank you, its in 3 weeks. Doctor prescribed anti anxiety meds. Don’t want to take them as I’m worried they will make my liver worse. Good to know it might just be anxiety. Thank you.

I had a liver enzyme bump in labs. It was all related to a Tylenol. I took it the night before and morning of my blood draw.

I'm not saying this has anything to do with your situation. But I did make myself sick with worry.

Let us know how you make out.

Oops.. I saw your profile. I see you are on other sites for this. I will be thinking of you and hope things work out ok
