3 Weeks in.
Posted , 4 users are following.
3 weeks now, still don't feel great, very shaky, still not a lot of energy, also my blood pressure has dropped, normally 130/70 last few days 115/65.
Today has been bad still cannot sleep without a pill and now have blocked nose that I cannot clear which causes even more anxiety. GP is refering me to ENT but it will be a few weeks wait and I am worrying about how I am going to cope in the mean time.
Supposed to be going on holiday in 2 weeks time!!
Sorry to sound so negative

All I can think of your a very nervous person, as I was years ago, I worked my own anxiety by myself, relaxation is what you need to try, I will be keen to know how you get on, I've been there and done it.
Best of Luck

Dont try and make yourself better by the time you go on holiday, because you can't. Let the feeling be there for the moment, but remember the medicine is building up in the background. Recovery will come to you in it's own time. Go on holiday, accept whatever feelings you have for now, know that in time they'll ease as the medicine kicks in.
Keep on going ..... you'll get there.

Accept your feelings as temporary and give it time. It won't last.. It will definitely get better.

Hi Brian,
In answer to your questions, I get anxious about not being able to drop off to sleep, its a vicious circle really, I just cannot seem to be able to fall off to sleep which sometimes leads me to have a panic attack, then I begin to worry and get anxious about the next night and so on. Hence my GP has put me on Citalopram.
My visit to ENT has been triggered by 4 weeks with my nose being blocked treated via 2 courses of antibiotics which should have sorted things out, but has not so I am waiting for my appointment to come through, and this has not helped the situation above especially at night.
Hope that explains where I'm at.
