Good luck on the MI diagnosis! Primary and secondary anxiety inclusive diagnoses interest me. I'm not certain if bipolar disorder is super-imposed upon generalized anxiety disorder or vice a versa? I can imagine a person being anxious to exit episodes of depression, but it seems to me that an individual would have ended an episode of anxiety prior to becoming depressed by it. At any rate GAD seems primary to BP which wavers diagnostically given what goes here and diagnosable anxiety might certainly cause one's cardio vascular electronics to stand out graphically. I'm on a depressing diet for blood pressure and anxious for better health. I was just in the ER with a STEM/MI so that's me--anxious to get better and depressed because I'm not. Somehow a sense of community emerged from the conscious or probably preconscious level of my psyche and I found myself here wishing you well. I'm over 65 and the diagnoses keep coming.
Best wishes.
