Ima severe hypochondriac especially cardiophobic...
i always fear that i may have a serious heart problem.... I was at the height of this anxiety exactly 5 years ago...i had several panic attacks., numerous visits to ER...was even kept in ICU....had several tests like ekgs echos stress tests...holter... blood tests etc...i wass kept on Paxil and clonazapem for a few months and it took away those feelings....but how i weaned of those meds was a separate story....
far the past 3 months or so,i was heavily beinge drinking (thrice a week) and each time i had severe hangover anxieties ...so i self medicated with proponolol and clonazapem to control those dreaded hangover anxieties....now i have completely abstained from drinking for the past 30 days.....
I was blessed with a girl and boy twin last month....now my anxiety has peaked up again for no reason....i get easily exhausted after very little physical activity...heart palpitations has started...my left and right arm BP is repeatedly showing a difference in reading of 10mm....Right arm bp is bit high at 130\85...I google for this inter arm difference and found it is bad...though my Gp told this is quite normal to have a slight higher pressure in the dominant arm.....also i get left arm pain after doing some very light dumbell exercises....I lost 10 pounds in the last one month...
I seen a cardiologist and took an EKG and a Echo and it came back normal...my cardiologist advised to have some physical exercises and try to reduce my ab.....he prescribed brisprolol 2.5 mg and Xanax .5 mg...
I simply cannot control racing thoughts...iam constantly worried if something might go wrong...what will happen to my newborn kids.....
I m feared to take bisprolol as i think once i het used to it i cannot stop it ever.....so Currently taking only xanax daily 0.5 mg for sleep or 0.25 mg as when needed
I check my pulse like a 100 times in a day (thanks to the finger oxymeter i own)....
Now i feel like a jerk before everyone.....as i have become a father of two beautiful kids recently and instead of being happy...i feel so sad and hopeless....I don't know what to do.....
