Had doctors appointment today
Jul 10th, 2007 by Michelle
Well I had a pretty crappy morning today. For the past 2 or 3 nights I just can’t sleep! I don’t know what it is. Maybe I am having tea too late or something. Anyways, this morning I was really anxious about going to the doctors, my Iratable Bowl Syndrome was kicking in and I almost wanted to call and say I could not make it. Somehow I did make it. I was still anxious when I got there and I have been there a lot with my son and I was fine. The GOOD news is I lost 23 pounds! Not sure how but I am not complaining. Maybe it has something to do with being a starving writer lol. So they took me in to take my vitals and I just knew my blood pressure was going to be high. Well it was! It was 213/110. They wanted to send me to the Emergency Room. Well i KNOW it was due to my anxiety and I told them I monitor my blood pressure at home and it is never that high unless I am having a panic attack which I was today. So they told me to go home and take my xanax and take my blood pressure after I relaxed a bit. It went down to 156/84 so I called her with the results and she said she was OK with that but she wants to see me Friday. Oh Joy!
I guess what I had the last couple of days is a set back in the progress I was making with my agoraphobia. I guess I kind of expected it and hopefully it is just a temporary set back. I do know that when I have problems sleeping or don’t get enough sleep I do have more anxiety attacks.
I will keep you all posted on my progress!
