When my anxiety and panic is explosive bad I get very nauseous and have gotten sick more times than I could count.

Do you have an appt to see a Doctor to try and help you with symptoms while he or she considers a possible diagnosis ?!

It really is about treating symptoms.

There was someone on here years ago when I first joined she was absolutely convinced she had BP anxiety panic and a plethora of other mental illness things.. always on edge , crying and mood swings from high to low.

She finally saw a medical doctor, she had garden variety anxiety, depression, acid reflux and pre diabetic... her GYN switched her BC pill , her blood sugar would fluctuate and it effected her moods, hormone /PMS had her up and down. They treated her acid reflux and her anxiety disappeared.. she leveled out over a couple months and life was enjoyable again.

So basically what I’m saying is everyone should get a full physical with all lab work .... any physical illness needs to be ruled out before jumping to the conclusion it’s a mental illness.

Trust me you do NOT want a mental illness diagnosis following you for the rest of your life.. it can effect your ability to take certain jobs , perform some types of work, the stigma is real , although progress is being made , but the stigma is still strong

I truly hope they find a physical reason your having struggles and can treat it easily.
