Are you maybe gripping your hands together when your heart is acting up? Maybe cutting off circulation?

Kortnie it's been a long time since you have had any real exercise don't keep looking for something to be wrong, you are still in denial about having PAD, and this denial will hold you back, accept that every feeling you have is PAD and just deal with that.
It will be enough for now, concentrate on the therapy sessions and every time you catch your self wondering what is this, make yourself say its PAD and nothing is wrong with my body , i have
a condition that causes anxiety and panic but i will kick it to the curb of life. Peace

Sorry I started to explain that you haven't been doing any aerobics and it can have some effect on the smaller veins in your fingers, you will make a comeback and get your boogie back! Love

I sure hope so this stuff is scary! I'm afraid that If I Blame it all on anxiety then one time its gonna be serious and I pushed it off to long and then I have more issues :-(

Darlin that's what I'm saying, you have had numerous clean bills
of health, deal with what really is, you don't want to suffer with
PAD and have some major illness also! "accept it and whip it".

Thank you I know I've had clean bill of health but for some rain my mind keeps wanting to wander back :-\

Kortnie you can't afford to allow this to happen, PAD will not just
one day go away, you will have to develop a will stronger than the Panic, to do this you need to stop wandering away from the subject of your problem. Peace

My hands go white all the time, sometimes almost transparent where you can see the blue of individual veins. The more you focus on it the longer it will last. Ignore it - get your hands moving and doing something - it will be fine. Just another fun way the body finds to express anxiety wink .

Anxiety symptoms - Blanching, blanched, looking pale
Blanched, looking pale:
You look blanched, pale, pasty, and without color. You look sickly, ill.

From our Resources (Anxiety Centre, list of common symptoms)

Not so good it'd prolly be better if there want so many people here with a bunch of kids :-\ I love kids but its like now that I don't feel good they get on my nerves 8(

I do understand, now you trust me, it's just a simple test, get up off the couch, go outside, find someplace you can set for a few minutes in the sun, I know it's hot, but humor an old man, when the heat gets too uncomfortable go back inside, don't go to the couch, go anywhere else, get a drink of water, go to bathroom, just don't go to the couch until you have done one thing different.
"I know you want to get well, just break the habit of automatically
going to the couch". Just a small step called diversion. Peace

I did just that thank you Larry :-) but I think I did a little to much had bad chestpain :-(
Posted 8/8/2013 2:55 AM (GMT 0)
Don't let that stop you from doing as much as you can short of
making it hurt, I know its just a guess but its worth the risk and you are honestly going to get better.

Thank you Larry the chest pain isn't so bad today just feel sick to my stomach and dizzy :-( I wish this would all stop soon
Posted 8/8/2013 8:29 PM (GMT 0)
Kortnie I wish it had never even happened but it did and your only choice is to work your way out of it, don't push too hard but get off the couch every day and do the little exercise of stepping outside breathing some air, feeling some sun, listening to the street noise, then go back in and do something constructive, get a drink of water Ice cold, go to bath and at least brush your teeth, the kind of things a person without PAD would do, then give yourself a pat on the back. Because you are making progress!
