Anxiety is off the scale. Please help me

[Cimmy]

hi, as most of you who have read my posts over the 10 days I’m having the most horrendous time. Story cut short, went to A&E on the 12 May with shortness of breath and horrendous pain in my back. Was quickly diagnosed with blood clots on my lung. Given blood thinners and sent home. Fast forward to Tuesday last had to call an ambulance as was very unwell. Checked over by doctor and told every thing is going in the right direction so sent home again. I just feel so unwell but is it my anxiety???, I just want to feel well and normal but can’t get horrible thoughts out of my head. Feel like I’m slowly drowning in anxiety and feel so alone and scared. Just want to run back to the hospital. Why is this happening to me. Why won’t my brain shut off that I’m dying and nobody is doing anything about it. I feel like I’m going mad. Sorry for the long and self pitying post. Just don’t know what to do with myself. Take care and thank you for reading

I know hospitals have different procedures. Some refer patients to see their regular care doctor shortly after a hospital visit. The doc can check how you’re doing, answer questions, adjust meds. It helps alleviate anxiety, too. I’m sorry you had to go back to the hospital, but the doc told you that you were going in the right direction. Keep that thought. I’ve found in the past that having somebody stay a day or two with me after a medical scare is really calming.
