My visit to the Doctor..
♥ So, I went to the doctor today. I’ve been meaning to go for a while, but kept putting it off and putting it off…
Last Friday I had a total freak out/ break down and almost went to the ER. I started having chest pains at work. They started as back pain and eventually ended as chest pain- mild, but it was freaking me out. I knew in the back of my mind that it was GERD pain, which I have had before, but my mind kept going back to the First Aid CPR training where she talked endlessly about heart attacks and I started having a full on panic attack. The pain eventually faded, but the anxiety/panic just kept getting worse until I just gave up and went to bed. I haven’t felt right since.
My doctor did the whole 100 question thing and once again, focuses on my lack of periods. Every time I go see him, that’s what he ends up focused on. He’s sending me for another ultrasound in April.
He prescribed me more Rabeprazole for my GERD which we’re hoping will take away the chest pains, and he prescribed me Ativan for these new panic attacks.
He also sent me to get a ton of blood work done. 7 vials later, that’s done.
we’ll see.
♥ I got my income tax done a few days ago. For the first time in my life, I have to PAY $300. FML.
At least it’s only $300…I owe $1500 from 2009 still, I haven’t filed for 2011 yet because my calculations show me owing another almost 2 grand! Hope you feel better asap! Anxiety can feel like a heat attack.

Glad you went to the doc and hope the new meds help. Maybe all those blood samples will finally reveal what’s going on and you’ll be on the mend soon.
