I also have palpitations at times. My holter showed some PAC's years ago. The strange thing is that I have been on a treadmill hooked up and had what I perceive as a palpitation and the EKG showed...
My health anxiety has been really high the last couple of months. I was finally feeling a little better when I started getting sick Wednesday/Thursday. It's basic runny nose, sneezing, sore throat...
Last Friday I wasnt feeling well and developed a fever ( although the doctors said it wasn't 99.0-100.3). I went to urgent care, they said lungs were clear and I had a cold. I took the first dose of...
I understand completely. My son and I had flu A inJanuary and it wasn't horrible on us. However, I feel like we dodged a bullet and that if we get it again we would die. I've been Clorox crazy for 2...
I had low grade fever for 5 days, runny nose, sore throat, slight cough. My son had the same symptoms but his fever lasted 4 days (he had a flu shot)....
I'm trying. I went in Wal-Mart for a minute today. I'm also going to start Zoloft again....
I hope this season ends soon or at least peaks. Every time I go out in public I almost have a panic attack and I'm not agoraphobic at all. I can't even make myself go near my kids faces and hands or...
I have only been to the store (in and out) twice since January 13th. My husband is doing the shopping lol. That's saying a lot because I LOVE to shop and go out. Everyone makes fun of me at work...
Well, I did end up with type A flu, just like my son. I got it exactly one week later. It wasn't that bad, not like 2016. I just hydrated and took otc meds. They gave me tamiflu but I decided not to...
I've been trying and I think I almost believe he is going to be ok. Now I can't stop waiting for it to hit me. I've done everything I know to protect everyone. Ive worn the mask when in there with...
Thank you for your reply. He seems to be doing well. His temp has been normal all day. I keep a check on his temp, o2 level and heart rate every hour or so. Luckily I have all my nursing equipment...
So my 7 year old has had the flu since Thursday and I have been a nervous wreck. He only had a high fever for one day and since then its only gotten to 100.3. He's acting fine and eating but I'm...
Thanks for your reply! I've only had the flu shot maybe 3 times since becoming a nurse in 2003, 2009 I only took it because I was pregnant. I'm not sure what the other years were that I took the...
I am a wreck right now because of flu season. I'm extremely paranoid about getting the flu because I'm convinced if I get it I will die. I've only had it one time and that was January of 2016. I work...
Well, I did it. I couldn't use the nitrous because it made me lightheaded and anxious, so we did it without the nitrous. He was really good about talking to me through the whole thing. I didn't even...
Well, tomorrow is the day I go for my root canal. I am a nervous wreck (even more so). I believe I'm now an expert in all the things that can go wrong with nitrous oxide, root canals and infection. I...
Well, then endodontist said that he didn't see any abscess but that I'm headed that way. I have an appointment to get one root canal next Thursday and then we'll go from there. I'm terrified of the...
I have decided that, unless I get horrible news, I'm going to try to calm down. I would hope that if I had an infection bad enough to kill me I would have swelling or bad pain, which I don't. Last...
I think it's official....I'm a basket case. On top of worrying that I'm going to die of infection in my teeth, now I'm worried about c diff. I've had diarrhea since Friday a couple times a day. I...
It's just hard to know what to do. I've read about all the "theories" about how root canals will hurt you. One of these is a visible tooth so I really don't want to lose it. I'm trying so hard to...
I went to the dentist on Thursday due to some quick sharp pains in a tooth. This is a tooth that they've said would need a root canal. He did an xray and said it was starting to get infected so he...
I know. My trigger concern used to be my heart, but for the last year it's been my teeth and infection. I've used the eye drops twice so far and it is looking a little better, so hopefully I was...
Thanks for the replies. I went to the eye doctor today and he said it was an eye allergy and infection. He spread goop in it and gave me script for eye drops. Unfortunately I still don't believe...
Thanks for replying. The only thing swollen is the clear covering on the eye, but only on the outer side of the eye. So far no swelling of eyelids or anything. I hope I'm wrong. I'm hoping it looks...
This may sound crazy but here goes. Yesterday my right eye was very bloodshot so I used lubricant eye drops. Then it went to red all over the area and the clear membrane swelled. It hurt when...
Now I have this pressure in my top two teeth and I'm thinking the worst again. I've been checking the teeth, flossing and rinsing with salt water. Still nothing looks out of whack but I have this...
So far today I've called the dentist (who can't see me until the 5th), Google teeth infection and death, mope and inspect my mouth. I feel bad because I'm not spending time with my kids or husband....
I went to the endodontist yesterday for a consultation. He did xrays, nerve tests and eval. He said since the nerves respond he wants to wait. What?! So I'm still here worrying about an infection and...
Thanks guys. It doesn't hurt that bad but I have a hole at the gum line behind those two teeth. I had initially thought it was my gums hurting from pizza but it's been since Thursday so I don't think...
It's becoming painfully obvious that the people closest to me could care less if I live or die. I always take care of everyone and worry about them. I have two front teeth that need root canals and...
I did make an appt with my regular doc and they sent me for an ultrasound yesterday. The results weren't back before they closed but I was assured by them and the hospital that if something bad was...
I ended up going to the er for the pain and anxiety over the blood work. All labs were normal except raised direct bilirubin. I also noticed my rbc, hemoglobin and hematocrit were lower than last...
I spoke to the nurse and she said the doctor wasn't concerned at this point but we will recheck it in a few weeks. If it's still up we will do more tests. He said that's not the pain I'm having but I...
We were going to follow up in 6 weeks but I don't know now because of the blood work. Its a liver enzyme that elevated. I don't drink, do drugs, or take meds so there's no reason for it except a...
The gi doc just called and my ALT was elevated by 4 points. The pain matches with liver by my research too. I'm at work trying not to freak out....
I can't do this anymore. I'm so terrified of what could be wrong with me that I can barely function. I'm spiraling down again and I don't feel like I can stop it. Its weird, before this last episode...
I do need to lose about 15 pounds but I'm not obese. I do eat pretty bad due to the fact that I'm a horrible cook, lol. I try not to eat late when I'm home but 2 days a week I work til 6 and one...
Thanks for your advice. I started to feel better after a couple hours, but then I ate lunch. Ever since then I have what I think are gas pains. I called the doctor but it's now after 5pm with no call...
I went yesterday to the gi doc about these episodes of pain I get. Usually early morning, epigatric and low back, lasts 30 minutes or less then just gone. It happens randomly and not even every week....
Just wanted to let y'all know that I went to the cardiologist this week. He said that that result is not something that can be changed and that the more important numbers were all good. He did...
Thank you! I'm going on next Wednesday to talk to the cardio about this. I'm trying not to freak out because it's been that way for awhile and I haven't died yet. Hopefully another week won't make a...
I called my other cardiologist (yes I have 2 even though they haven't found anything) and the nurse there wasn't concerned either! So I guess I'll see whichever one can get me in first. The only 2...
Back in March I had this in depth blood work done called "Boston heart". I went for results in March and they said basically looked ok. I needed to get good cholesterol up and quit smoking and...
So I went to the doctor for all the results from in depth blood work they did a couple weeks ago. The results were great and they convinced me to take my Zoloft again. I left feeling great. I planned...
When I was working nights a few months ago I couldn't sleep sometimes. I would go 48 hours on an hour. It made me nauseous and feel horrible. Not sleeping can make you feel all sorts of things. Get...
I'm wondering if anyone else has had this sensation before. I've had flips, flatters and thuds before but every once and a while I get these other palps. It kinda feels like my heart stops or waivers...
Well, sleep never did happen. My mind is so messed up. My headache switched sides and now I'm back worrying. Now it's another deadly thing that can happen from teeth infections. I won't post the name...
Thank you. I'm going to try....
I ended up going to the er, where the doctor wouldn't even check my blood for infection. He looked in my mouth and felt my face and neck and said there was no need. He just sent me with a script for...
I just can't shake this. I even had my consult with the endodontist yesterday and he said not to be concerned and that I had time to take care of it unless it started hurting. Now I've noticed a...
