I guess I’ll join the ranks of the "sick" too...
It all kicked off about a month ago out of nowhere with a massive panic attack...
Heart racing, this heavy sinking feeling in my chest, shallow breathing, shaking, chills—you know the drill...
It happened a few more times after that, but I kept it cool and didn't let it freak me out at first...
But ever since then, I can't stop obsessing over the idea that I'm going to have a heart attack or a stroke 🤣
I haven't been sleeping, I'm constantly checking my pulse, and if my heart skips even a beat, I lose it. I'm convinced my blood pressure is through the roof; the second I get a slight headache, I immediately jump to thinking it's a stroke...
I spend all day scrolling through Google, reading up on symptoms and various illnesses...
Every single day, I get these sharp pains near my heart, and my left neck, shoulder, and arm ache, which just sends me straight to the worst-case scenarios...
My back hurts too, though I'm sure that's just because I don't move much these days 🤣
So, I told myself I'm heading to the doctor tomorrow to see if there's actually something wrong or if I'm just losing it. This constant worrying is killing me and I can't function. I'll let you guys know how it goes 😁
