June 11, 2014 - Getting worse....

Jul 10, 2014

Chest pains are unbearable and I honestly feel overwhelmed with everything that's going on.  So much so that I cannot function.  I'm just so scared of what's ahead.  I painfully decided to go see my family physician today.  Some of you who know me, know that I am certainly not the type who like the attention of doctors.  I have to be almost dying in order to see a doctor.  I'm scared silly about going to see doctors.  So this was certainly not an easy decision for me.  After explaining my situation and my symptoms to my doctor, he asked a few questions and told me he'd be right back.  After about 5-10 minutes, he comes back and tells me that there is nothing wrong with my heart.  My PET scan shows absolutely no sign of anything being wrong.  Heath records faxed him the results while I was there.  So with that being ruled out, what was going on with me then?  Well, it didn't take him long to tell me that I had anxiety disorder and major depression.  The chest pains were a result of my anxiety.  I had literally worried myself sick.  Also, the whole situation of not being able to have WLS had taken a big toll on my mental well being. I'm desperately trying to get better and with the help of a few meds, hopefully this won't last very long.
