Anxiety?
I am doing ok right this minute but that changes minute by minute. I will get myself calm one minute and the next I will freak out. I have plenty of health worries to choose from. 1. Heart palpitations, 2. chest pressure pain, 3. Sometimes hard to breath especially when walking around but sitting down I feel better. 4. Mouth, jaw, neck weakness. 5. Aches and pain. 6. Sleeplessness. I sure their is more but those are the ones I worry about most. I am to have an ECG for the palpitations on thursday. I need to tell the cardiologist about the chest pressure and pain because that started this past week after I saw him. I am now worried about what they might find. I am not sure what to do are these symptoms anxiety or something worse? I am trying to rely on God for comfort. I dont know if people read other people's journals but If you read this please pray for me for my appointment on Thursday.

Dear Friend;
Please know that I am praying for you; that GOD will send you comfort, peace, and a good report from the doctor.What you have to tell yourself is that you are doing what you should in order to take care of yourself.I have been where you are - MANY times- and eventually you will get better at calming your fears.Yes, I do believe that everything you are feeling is the anxiety jerking you around.I have learned that is is absolutely mind-boggling the way our thoughts will cause our bodies to react.So, what ever the outcome of your test is - and it will be good news - know that you\'re getting it checked out and it can be treated.Whether it is anxiety or somethign else causing your symptoms.
But I\'m telling you it\'s anxiety (and maybe hormones returning to normal)...I\'ve had all the tests known to man done, but I still get fearful when I feel a pain here or there.But I now know how to breathed through it, ask GOD to take care of it, and usually I forget it.If you keep \'listening in\' for it, you\'ll feel everything.Feel better, babe...and keep us posted.
I\'ll be praying for you everything is going to be ok trust in GOD and little by little each day your faith will grow I know what you are going through.God Bless You
