Hi Misty;
I so very sorry for your loss. So many times you read a post and you just wish you could hold the person and make it all go away. Here is a BIG HUG from me. Your symptoms sound just like my anxiety and of course, how can you not feel the way you do after all that you have been through? Can I also make a couple more suggestions? There are other things that can exacerbate your anxiety and they did for me. One is, your adrenal glands can be worn out from the stress (have you checked your thyroid also?)and you may need some adrenal support. There is a test that you can do through the Broda Barnes Foundation to check out your whole system. They can provide information at 203-261-2101. Also, have you ever been told that you might possibly have the benign condition Mitral Valve Prolapse? Well, in times of stress you can have symptoms associated with this that are not widely recognized. There is a Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome and that can cause your symptoms or magnify them. If you google MVPS you will find some good information that will help you feel better. This was a problem for me that added to my anxiety and I had to find out on my own. I wish someone would have told me about these two things and I hope this helps you too.
Another BIG HUG, Beachcatt
P.S. Just googled MVPS. That won't work. Actually google Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome
Reality Check... Is this really anxiety????
