lWierd Sensations....

[franceslee]

So I do ok for a week or so then I have a period of time here I don't feel right!  I have lots of symptoms:  weird feeling on my upper stomach, sweaty palms, hot flushed face, sometimes a lightheaded like feeling, eyes are very dry, extreme worry, have trouble falling/stayong asleep.

I went to the doc back in mid March and she did blood work; it was all ok just said my triglyceride's were a little on the high side.  I also have high blood pressure, obese and pre-diabetic.  I'm on lusinopril but the other issues she is having me try to correct with diet & exercise.  I do go back on the 18th for a follow up.

I also have anxiety which I go to counciling for but not on any medication.  Should I just wait until my follow up appt or should I be seen sooner???  I just don't want to be such a hypochondriac but I also want to be ok.

Thanks for the help!

Sir same condition is with me doctors say it is anxiety. Inform me if u get well.

It's cognitive behavioral therapy. You can google it or better yet, ask your therapist about it.
Are you able to take anything during your period like Pamprin? My daughter has awful periods and her anxiety goes way up during that time. The Pamprin seems to help with the cramps, mood swing and such.
B pollen can help with some allergy problems. You can buy it at a health food store. Ask your Dr about trying it first.

What is Cbt??  Yes I do monitor my BP!  It seems like when its my period amd/or sinuses are acting up my anxiety is even worse!

[remar]

That's great. Does your counselor do CBT? Are you checking your BP on a regular basis to make sure it's not to high or low?

[franceslee]

Yes it does.  When it hits me hard though Im usually bit able to get in...

It sounds like you're having anxiety symptoms to me. Is the counseling helping at all?
