Dealing with headaches, pressure in my head and ears, eye/chest pain, and vision issues...
in Health ·
Hey there!
I was wondering if anyone else here has dealt with stuff similar to what I'm going through. About a month ago, things just started feeling really off. My palms and feet start sweating out of nowhere, my heart starts racing, and then I get this sudden wave of panic—which immediately sends my blood pressure spiking right after. I went in for blood work, and everything seems fine; my thyroid levels are normal, though I am dealing with some anemia, so I've been taking iron supplements. My heart and kidneys are totally fine too, which leads my doctors to believe my blood pressure spikes are just being driven by anxiety. I'm on medication for it now, and honestly, I'm just counting down the days until this passes. At home, I've got a little four-month-old baby and an older child who’s almost six. To be fair, I was pretty anxious during my pregnancy and just couldn't find a way to relax, and it's the same story now... plus, about two months back, I found out some really shocking, unpleasant things that probably didn't help matters. I try so hard to stay calm—like, I'll be playing games with my oldest, but then after a little while, I'll suddenly feel weak, start sweating, and my pressure jumps. I'll take one Lexapro 0.25 mg and then feel a bit more like myself after an hour or two. Has anyone else experienced this? Because the doctors keep telling me it's likely all psychological. I don't know...
Thanks
