None of y'all are alone, just thinking about a hospital, doctor, or dentist quickly sends me in to panic mode! I haven't been to either in over 2 yrs because of it. Prozac helps (when I'm on it) but doesn't take it away completely!
Hey there, I totally have the same thing happen to me. I went to my therapist this afternoon and he asked when the last time I had a complete checkup. I responded to the fact that it has been a loooooong time and i would pass out in the waiting room. I have had minor back problems and when the took my blood pressure it was literally through the roof. I have the same syndrome. I am fine am fine at the dentist and other health care providers but i get totally freaked out in hospitals. Major anxiety. Your not alone.
I know exactly how you feel, I have the same exact phobia. It's strange actually but I can't control it. I am on an SSRI (zoloft) and it still does not help me in these moments. Idk if xanax works or not, but let me know please!
Xanax is quite effective for reducing anxiety. However, there is some risk for dependence. It's fine to take Xanax for situational anxiety, but can be problematic if you find yourself wanting to take it everyday. If your anxiety occurs daily, something like an SSRI might be a better choice.
