So I did see my doctor on Monday, and she said that I was fine. My blood pressure was just slightly elevated at 130/80 but I am normally around 114/70. So I wasn't really worried about that. She was glad that I am aware of what is going on and recognizing the anxiety. She did state that I should lose weight. ** A brief note, I am about 80 pounds overweight even though I don't look it.** She said that a lot of those problems that I am experiencing will go away and will help prevent the future problems that I think I have. I whole heartly agreed with her as I work in the medical field myself. I told her that for some reason I experience these mental blocks where I don't allow myself to see this. She understood what I was saying and also to make sure I knew that I can come and see her anytime and she will help me through this.
She also (per my request) referred me to a psychologist. I feel pretty good now. Like I am finally making progress. It seems at times that it comes in waves where I will feel great for a week or two and then feel pretty bad. So now my goal is to start losing weight and seeing someone that I can talk to about my fears.
