I was fine and overcoming this. Then I go to the dr again and now I am having anxiety again.

My Dr. ordered a cardiogram, and wanted to put me on heart medication before even getting the results back from the cardiogram.

I told him no I wanted to wait on any medication until i know for sure I need the medication.

Self talk has helped a bunch. If it hadn't been for self talk I think I would be at the Er all night tonight.

But instead I just keep telling myself the cardiogram is going to come out normal and everything is going to be ok.

It would be neat to have a blog spot on here. Then people could monitor their progress. I find blogging in public to keep me motivated and on task.

Smart move on the medication.

Sounds like you handled your stress well too.

Thankyou for the encouragment. I guess I need to talk to myself a little better huh. Like on the cd's.

I guess I should be saying of course I was a bit scared i was having an cardiogram. i won't know the results for a few days. Anyone would be a little nervous.

Don't let the Dr force meds on you before the tests come back. You may not even need it, and some meds are difficult to come off of once you start taking them.

You are still doing good!! Don't be discouaraged by a lil speed bump Beth

And major Kudos to you for taking care of your health too....If he's worried about your heart maybe you could go on a baby aspirin regime till he sees you? Just a thought you, you could ask him to see what he thinks ?
Keep on keepin on
