Good Morning and thank you for your responses! A quick update - I was able to talk with my doctor yesterday and they are going to do a D & C at the hospital as opposed to the biopsy in office. That...

Hi All, I have a question for people out there with hiatal hernia's - last week I went to the ER with severe chest pain, nausea, sweating, and light headedness (I came very close to passing out),...
SC and Snoopy's responses are spot on. Anxiety may cause us to over focus on our breathing too much, breath too shallow or hyperventilate but the human body is awesome, it will not let us 'forget' to...

If I have heavy foods or eat too much before bed I get the same thing, wicked heart burn, toss and turn and mini panic attacks. I wake up the next morning with a 'food hangover'. It sucks to get old...
Oh that sounds great!!! Have fun!!...
Good Morning HW family. I had 2 moles that I was concerned about removed yesterday. The Doctor said he really doesn't think they were cancerous and I shouldn't be worried. They took a biopsy just to...
I have several ways I meditate. One way is by practicing yoga, being mindful and present with the breath and movement of my body. Another way for me to meditate is taking a nice easy walk in nature,...
It's just a wee set back, it will pass! When I feel that way I'll do a mindful meditation or progressive relaxation video. After that I try and get busy with a distraction. Reading, playing candy...
Sorry you're going through this!! But it sounds like you are doing all the right things! Hang in there and give it time. I also agree with asking your p-doc for Xanax. It helps tremendously!...
Sorry you're having a bad day! We all have them from time to time. You're strong, you'll get through! 🌹...
Hi there, so sorry to hear you're struggling! Dizziness, loss of balance and a weird floating feeling or the feeling like I'm trying to walk on the deck of a ship has always been one of my anxiety...
Have a fun trip!...
Great job! Well done!...
So my appointment to get a mole checked out was to be this Friday. I was gonna call off work. Turns out this is the work week from hell and there's no way I can get off. I rescheduled for the...
