I went to the ER (at a new hospital) last Tuesday cause my chest hurt.

I was so scared of having a heart attack.

The dr there said it was stress and referred me to their doctor referral line, and they could not find me a Medicare/Medicaid dual eligibility doctor.

I finally got an appt at their affiliated clinic for those in need. I can't believe that it's so hard for me to get treatment for something that is affecting my health, like anxiety!

my appt won't be till after Thanksgiving.

The ER doctor said my condition might turn into something bad if I don't get help.

Bless your heart -- stress and anxiety are awful conditions. I used to have anxiety attacks and I felt like I'd pass out from anxiety attacks. My chest would hurt, my heart would race, and I couldn't breathe!!

I went to my GP, and she put me on a Beta blocker and that helped immensely! It slowed down my heart rate, cause at times it got so fast that she couldn't even count it -- it would go WELL over 200!! On the Beta blocker, it got down to where it was supposed to be -- around 60 or so.

I felt so much better -- no more anxiety attacks. I was on that medicine for a long time, until I decided I didn't need it anymore. After I got off, I didn't have any more attacks. Go figure!

I wish you could get in sooner -- after Thanksgiving is a long time to me. Seems like they could get you in a little sooner. See if you can get on the cancellation list -- then they'll call you if someone cancels.

Best of luck and let us know what happens. Hugs, Lee

I went to the ER before with chest pains and they also told me they were stress. After it happened a few more times I continued to seek treatment. It turned out my gallbladder was extremely diseased and needed to be removed. You need to stay on it to ensure it is stress. I think they use that as their catch all when someone has chest pain and it is not their heart.
Thanks for this!

Hi I am Sonia Subash from Mumbai. i am 26 years old. i have been having some issues. For work reasons, I stay away from my parents. I led a active sex life, with multiple partners and sometimes indulge in unprotected oral sex & intercourse with my male colleagues. Off late, my vagina has become very loose & I get a yellow, smelly mucus like discharge at times so I have to keep cleaning it with tissues. It gets very itchy at times & after peeing my vagina pains for 2-3 minutes. I had cured myself of UTI twice earlier with OTC pills but this condition is not going away. I am afraid if this is an STD or something serious? I am worried if I would require hospitalization for this condition as I stay alone. Can you recommend some oral pills to get rid of this condition?

I hope you're wrong, Amy. I got 2 opinions on this. I think it is stress. If my symptoms get worse or if I notice other problems, I will get it checked out. Probably at a different ER if I am still conscious. ________ Hospital may be kind of effed up because they have a record on me, too. Not about bpd, but about mental illness.

thanks; I will remember your post.

Carol

Your decision is right if you find any problem then definitely you can get a treatment.
