Anxious mamas?
Hey guys so for the past few months I have been knocked down over and over and my stress has been through the roof
Starting in January I started having constant headaches and that has given me severe health anxiety I've been to the doctor 3 times and had 2 ct scans they don't see anything out of the ordinary besides fluid in my sinuses
Well tomorrow I have an appointment with me PCP and I'm going to ask her if it's possible I'm having these constant headaches because of my anxiety idk if it's possible but ik anxiety can give you pretty serious physical symptoms if it's going on for a while and for the past week I've been feeling my chest just tighten and I feel short of breath
I've never taken anxiety medication and that alone scares me if it's prescribed I just wondered if anyone has felt anything similar? I feel alone and the stress of this is just making me feel hopeless feeling this pain and not finding anything that seems to help
You are not alone! I have had constant migraines and I constantly thought it was a sign of preeclampsia or that I had diabetes. It would cause me to panic as well and my heart would race at night and I couldn’t catch my breath. I talked to a therapist, psychiatrist and my obgyn. My psychiatrist prescribed me lexapro, my therapist gave me techniques to slow my mind down (walking, journaling, different meditations, and journaling which I suck at keeping up with) so I stop overthinking and my obgyn told me to take magnesium. Honestly taking the magnesium and going on walks has helped me so much. The headaches aren’t near as bad. Also I found if I’m getting one, a baby aspirin, two Tylenol and a small cup of half caff coffee does the trick. Now I still do have anxiety and taking anything prescribed also scares me but the migraines have been a lot better.
