Haven't posted or been on here for a while as after giving up oestrogen I had a fantastic two or three months. But over the last two weeks i'm Back to health anxiety ground zero, with full on panic attacks that I thought had gone away three years ago. I think it's due to background anxiety about a recent high cholesterol test, it's been complete shit to be honest as I have a lovely life and all is goi g really, really well.
So what stupid, beyond daft thing did I do today? Only go and give blood for the first time. I do have blood pressure on the low side but wanted to face my panic attacks and see them off. So what happened? I felt faint afterwards and really cold, had to stay there ages, felt totally stupid and now can't tell if i'm Having a panic attack or potentially dying.
Bugger. Was already struggling with stupid worry about heart attack! I totally buy into the other recent thread about stress causing real symptoms as I know I have everything I read/hear about. Why did I do it?!,
