CW,

The best way you're going to find out, quite honestly, is to see your own doctor. Your primary doc. If you feel in danger, then I would go to the ED. If this is something that's been happening to you, you may consider going to Urgent Care first, see what they say, and then follow up with an appt with your PCP for an exam.

That way you get to be seen by someone in real life, in person, who is a doctor that's familiar with you, your history, your body, your situation! Much more personal that way, plus it's more accurate! :)

Hi CW and welcome back.:)

I am sorry that you are currently feeling unwell.:( It sounds like the anxiety has returned...

Since you will likely want to discuss your options for relief with your doctor...such as adjusting your meds...you can also get a full check up and reassurance that all is well physically.

Until then, be sure that you are keeping up with your coping skills for best anxiety management!

Keep talking with us as well. We understand and care.:)

S.C.
