Heart Palpitations.....

Christie53 as you can see you aren't alone so that might make you feel better, have you done the program? I'm in the 5th week and was doing good, feeling calmer, eating healthier, walking everyday and here it come James K, on Tues. I had a follow up appt. with the obgyn 28th week of pregnancy and got nervous again when they had to take my bp so it came up high, I had 1 protein in my urine and explained to the doc that my vision had been a little blurry on and off and I had gotten mild head aches on and off for the past week so he sent me to the hospital to rule out preclampsia; Thank God it wasn't but when I was in hospital I was nervous and anxious the majority of the time, in the labor room somehow I was able to calm down when bp cuff did automatically and I was in bed; I still got a little anxious but not severe but when they transfered me to the other floor and a nurse had to come in every few hours to take my bp, temperature, glucose levels and fetal heart monitor, I was getting really nervous and anxious so my bp & hp started showing high again and I listened to the cd, read some of the book, wrote in the journal some but I could not find a way to completely relax so my bp could go back to normal. I feel overwhelmed because I'm having no control of this nervousness and anxiety, I have scheduled an appt. with a Pshychiatrist which is in 1.5 wks, I hope that with this program, my therapist, God's help and the meds that the doc will prescribe my anxiety and nervousness with taper down to the point that my bp will not continuing going high because I want to be healthy for self and baby through rest of pregnancy and post partum. What does everyone think?

God Bless Everyone,
