What to do

[nmp1]

Hi if you haven't seen my last post please read and leave some advise. I'm scarring myself, I don't know if I'm feeling the way I do because I have a cold/allergy or because of anxiety/panic.

Something that confuses me is it was hard to sleep last night, as if when you have a fever. But I didn't. I felt congested and it felt like my cheeks, teeth, and ears would hurt and it'd go away and come back. My nose is slightly runny too. So my question is it a cold? Allergies?

And the thing is I keep waking up anxious. Any advise for anything

Thanks in advanced

Sounds like a sinus infection to me. It has all the symtoms of it. Lots of things can cause it and anxiety/stress just adds to it. Pharmacy/doctor could help you with the symptoms.

Sounds like you're just a little stuffed up? Try taking a hot shower, sitting more upright in bed and on your back, or drinking some hot tea. 😊

Nmp1, I think you're concentrating too much on how you feel, too much introspection, you have a respiratory infection of some sort, nothing to worry about in the grand scheme of things, you can deal with that no problem. We're not doctors so can't diagnose what sort of infection or if it's an allergy, only your doctor can do that.

Maybe if you don't attach so much importance to how you feel you would be less anxious. So just accept how you feel whether ut's a cold or anxiety, you'll feel a lot better stressing less.

It's good advice Jeff about just accepting these things but it's not as easy as just that. If that were the answer nobody would be on these forums. Takes a lot of doing to just accept the symptoms we all get and carry on. It doesn't happen overnight and we have to retrain our brains to take the approach. The Claire Weeks approach is the answer but it does take time and in the meantime we have to cope the the best we can.

I have never read anybody claim that acceptance is easy, Claire Weekes certainly never did and I certainly wouldn't want to give that impression. Your comment that in the meantime we have to cope the best we can is surely covered by Weekes' concept of 'Floating' and that's not easy either but both come with practice and persistance.

Sounds like you have anxiety , like me , l have heart palpitations, and i feel like my heart slows down and missing beats .

Try magnesium.
