Finding answers & feeling so much better πŸ’•

So my "issues" all started after having my second son.. I started having chest pains, anxiety.... etc etc

Well FINALLY I got my answer

I have a hiatal hernia.. where my stomach is pushed up into my esophagus. Mine is caused by pregnancy. I had a endoscopy which confirmed all this, he told me the chest pain from the hernia can feel like your having a heart attack... which explains so so much πŸ˜’

I feel so much better now that I have a answer.. instead of just telling me it's anxiety over and over

I mean I'm not going to say that I don't have anxiety, bc I do but it was greatly escalated by the chest pain.

I'm now down from taking 2 .5mg klonopin a day to taking 2 .25mg a day

This is such a great start for me, I wake up with chest pain and don't freak out... I honestly think it's been a week or so since I've had any anxiety, which is great for me

It can only get better from here

New beginnings πŸ’œ

You are so right Elizabeth04 in that knowing the cause, besides it being anxiety, helps a lot in dealing with it. Good for you in weaning down on the Klonopin. It is a new beginning, a new way of thinking. x
