anoyone having high blood pressure and pulese problems?
Posted On 08/04/2007 01:48:20

Hi all I just wanted to know if any of you suffer from high blood pressure ? or high pulse rates ?

I went and seen the dr  Thursday and I had been  put on a beta blocker   that she took me offf of b4 . due to the side effects  it was making my  blood pressure  and pulse go down to quickly ...

she didnt do any blood work nor any yests like echocardiogram ...EKG  .. JUST NOTHING AT ALL

and after waiting in the office 3+ hours she walks  in and says  Christina I think you should take this betta blocker  2 times a day when you wake up and 8 hours later .. im like OKAY ..

THEN SHE SAID WELL i DONT BELIEVE WE NED ANY BLOOD WORK NOR TEST BECAUSE  I KNOW ITS YOUR PANIC AND ANXIETY THAT IS MAKING EVERYTHING HIGH ..

then she even told me if I eleminate or cut down on stress now it wouldnt make a diffrence in my blood pressure .. its weird  that she wouldnt want to do anything and the day I went in there my blood pressure was 148/104- pulse 101

 I cant understand why its running so high even on my home BP machine ... By the way she told me NOT to take my blood pressure at all at home... why is that  anyone have any ideas ?
I am just confused frustrated and need help .

Thanks everyone take care


Lift the fog (poem)
Posted On 07/22/2007 11:53:32
Negative thoughts fog your thinking and your perception. With each doubt, with each frustration, with each fear the fog grows heavier.

After a while, it becomes difficult to see how to move forward. And that just makes the fog even thicker.

The fog of negative thinking prevents you from seeing and acting on your best possibilities. Instead of focusing on moving forward, you're able only to give your attention to the petty distractions of the moment.

There is something, though, that will burn off that fog. It is determined, passionate, meaningful intention.

Give your energy to positive purpose, and the fog will begin to lift. Then step confidently through what's left of the fog, and you'll quickly leave it behind.

At times it may seem that there's no escaping the fog of your negative thoughts, yet at any time you can choose to be free. Fill your spirit with true purpose, and your best possibilities will come clearly into view.


Do any of you have these symptoms?
Posted On 07/22/2007 12:44:18
I have had alot of things going on lately and I have had alot of feeling like im going to pass out being light headed and my blood oressure going high and same with my pulse .. I wake up and have tingling and numbness and dont know why I dont know if it is from being anxious but its when I wake up useually from naps and in the morning .. and sometimes threw out the day .. I feel like I cant stand like I used to without feeling so weak and sweating ..
my questions are

1. has anyone had tingling and numbness sensations ?

2. has anyone had high blppd pressure and pulese with anxiety and panic attacks if so how high was your highest reading and what did the dr's do ?

3. has anyone felt like they was looking there balance and strenth in the body mainly the legs if so what can I do to help it or strenthen them ?


Is these all signs of a new panic episode or is it something I should worry about ?
ty all take care and IF ANYONE HAS ANY OTHER SYMPTOMS PLEASE ADD THEM ALSO FOR OTHERS TO VIEW AND KNOW ITS PANIC OR ANXIETY makes all of us feel somewhat better
take care ty all

My day at the ER
Posted On 07/17/2007 01:39:00

Hi there everyone .. I have had a bad past couple days ..

I have had this feeling in my ears wow did they hurt . and then it went from my ear down my nech to about my chin .. the pain did I mean ..

so I took a nap and tryed not to think of it saying to myself Girl it is just anothe dumb thing to think about your mind is making you think stupid things .. so I woke up from my nap mind you when you nap when you wake up the body re energizes itself ..

it wasnt bad almost totally gone with the annoying pain.

well today I woke up and what happens well let me tell you .. I had the worst pain in my ear around my ear and clean down my neck ... now I remind you I am Not telling anyone this to scare you or to make you feel crapy ..

but I had to go to the ER and at that time my normal blood pressure runs about 132 over 82 or so and pulse is about 80 to 85 bbeats a minute ..

well I went in there toattly feeling like crap and very disorented .. shaking .. that pain and the chest pains ...WOW they was bad ,

anyways my blood presure was 169 over 128 and the pulse was 144 beats a minute .. Well no wounder I felt so bad ,,

The Dr I seen in there said to me wow this is very high you have to stay and let us get you back to normal ...( meaning the blood pressure and the paulse )

well me I hate to be at the hospital or a DR office it just freaks me out ...

So he made me a deal he told me to take this Beta Blocker and if in an hour my blood pressure and pulse goes down he would let me go home only if I get an appointment with my reg .. dr tomorow .. So I thought about it and me waying out the option of taking meds I hate to take and so scared of ....or stay at the hospital I am more afarid of well I took the pill and in just 30 minutes my pulse went to like 86 beats a minute and the blood pressure was still high but not extreme like b4 .. so he let me go hoem oh and on top that I have virtigo and ear infection .. yippie ... ugggg

well I came home and my blood pressure is still a bit up there 146 over 108 and pulse still about 88 beats a minute ..

I am so scared that when I go to the DR tomorrow they will tell me I have to go to the hospital and stay .. I am so SCARED ..

wish me luck all and tell me what you would do if u was in my case and had the dr say you have to go to the hospital the most scaryest place I can think of in my hole life I have beed so afraid of hospitals and dr's and needles etc ...

thank u all take care and stay in good health


BAD DAY ..please read and help me if you can..
Posted On 07/07/2007 05:07:59

Hi  , today has been another  bad day .. I get so tired of useing them words '' BAD DAY ''
but I still feel sick to stomache sad and depressed . confused ..not like myself,,and anxious and have had several severe panic attacks
since I have been up . witch has only been  about 5 hours or so .
I am typing this again on my  notepad its easyer for me to post  beings I get advice from a few sites
they all have helped me  just trying to figure out  when I get panicy what  I was thinking or what I was doing .
1st off my daughter  came by today before she went to the laundry mat with her grandma and a few things was brought up
like her telling me  I was only getting her worse  if you havent read my past posts she has anxiety  and seperation anxiety
and is on meds to help her also and she dose get the help she needs . I take her to the dr''s and everything and so dose her father
and I had dyed my own hair beings I cant go into a  hair salon.
well needless to say  my husband picked up alburn red and my hair is brown . now I have redish brown hair ,
and I have been made fun of it looking  red , I guess no one is  used to seeing me  with red hair I dont know .
thjen my husband gets so mad at me  because I have  his 14 yr old niece up here  she has been here for  almost 2 weeks on and off she lives down the hill from us .
he said  that she  just gets on his nurves but she really dosent do anything that a normal 14 yr old wouldnt do , thats my opinion tho .
its nice to have her around to talk to and help get my mind off things he mad her go home today .
that  upsets me also.
see what happens he said is when she gets on his nurves  he gets  to fighting with her and then he gets mean and yells at me
he tryes to help me out he says but dont know how with my illness .
and that just makes me worse . when I hear fighting and  things .

My bad anxiety / panic attack habits
please dont lol at me when I list them

1.checking my pulse or blood pressure sometimes
2.everyday I get up I get a wet wash cloth to  carry around because my hands get swetty . and its actually  drying my hands out
3.( this one  my husband hates  he said its another   thing I am useing  to try to help  )I use my computer chair to walk and do things around the house for a few reasond ..I get light headed and  weak and I set on the towlet I just  have it in there because I feel safer incase I would fall or pass out witch I never have
4.I always empy an ash tray  as soon I  see 1 cigg in it ..
5.I get confusessed alot so I use post its and  little note pads all over reminding me about things to do and   help notes to help me  out like example ..your okay it will go away...
6.when I get up in the morning I go right for my drink I keep it by my bed  everynight  so I can take my vitimin and med
7. I preay constantly threw the day  hopeing god will help my huby says  it hasnt worked  you praying in 12 years of this why would it now ,.,
8. i always have my clothes ready for the next day and  in the bathroom incase anything would ever happen tome or family
9. I am scared of hospitals and dr's and have so many appts this month ofr my daughter my husband and I .
I could go on and on about stupid things I do but  to me thats enought do any of you do any of this stuff .. and HONESTLY do you think any of it I do  could be uncalled for ?
Like how I cant go anywhere because I am afraid to talk and  be around ppl afraid they will say something and I get  all confused and VERY tounge tied like I cant talk correct or I talk to fast
or scared to have my daughter say  bad things to me she is going on 9 yrs old in less than a month .on august 1st
or afraid my husband will be so mad at me and  yell or say I ACT LIKE A BABY.
I do all I can  but still panicy and depressed and cant go anywhere  I want to go I am so  scared  of what might happen or if I want to leave how  can I get out  when I have really no good excuse .besides I am having a panic attack and ant feeling well
BY THE WAY DO ANY OF YOU GET WORSE WHEN SOMEONE CONSTANTLY ASKED '''''ARE YOU OKAY'''
WOW that puts me in deeper with a panic attack . thinking okay they have noticed im setting here and  having a panic attack what do they see me doing  that I dont . for them to ask me that ?
TY all for the replys and god bless everyone of you ..
SORRY IT WAS SO LONG .

Recover
Posted On 07/07/2007 02:35:11
If, at some point, your day gets pushed in a negative direction, it doesn't have to stay that way. You can quickly and completely recover.

The distractions and disruptions will surely come along. Yet you do not have to let any of them ruin your whole day.

There's never any need to wait until tomorrow to make a fresh start. Instead, you can choose to immediately let go of whatever has thrown you off course.

You can decide to begin moving forward again right away. Keep in mind that the number of times you fall is not nearly as important as how quickly you get back up.

Don't allow an isolated frustration, disappointment or change in plans to turn into a whole day's worth of negative momentum. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, you can be moving forward.

Recover quickly, get back up and get going again with renewed determination. Nothing will be able to hold you back for long. Smile
