HI Group

I hope your all doing well. I'm having another crappy day.  I'll tell you I'm so fed up with this crap.  I have been on the propranolol for about 3 weeks and thought it might be helping, well helps some with my anxiety, but I don't know about the dizzies, of course i'm only on 10mgs a day so not really enought to  fix it, I guess.  

I'm not sure whats causing what anymore!!!  Frankly I don't know  how anyone can tell whats doing what.  I woke up with anxiety i guess, it started last night I could feel my heart beating but checking it, it was 75 beats a min.  I have a doctors appt today with my gyno and I've been having bladder spasms and pain for a day or two so I am worried about that, this damn health anxiety always gets me.  I'm feeling like I'm falling when I'm sitting, been having that for a coulple of weeks, so now i'm starting to think the propranolol is causing it.  Or could it be the MAV, or maybe my thyroid meds, i"m also strting to  wonder if the thyroid meds are causing the head and upper shoulder pain that i have almost daily.  Do you see how I wonder whats causing what.  I was taking magnesium daily for months and then started the propranolol and was afraid to take both so i'm wondering is that causing the worsening pains and feeling dizzy?  Goodness can you see all the "what if's"?  I hate anxiety and worry, it just takes over.  

I sit here typing this afraid to move cuz the dizziness will get worse. Do anyone ever notice when your sitting quietly you kinda look up a bit and it feels like the room is very slowly moved some and then you get a sensation of falling?  I hate this feeling.  

I think I made a mistake last night I ate smoked pulled pork and baked mac and cheese and am wondering if thats not whats causing the dizzienss today, or again the anxiety?  

I ask you, how is one suppose to tell the difference with so many different sensations going on?  If I was to go to the GP he would say its anxeity.

I wish I could tell whats causing what.  The only think i do know is, I'm so sick of it all.  I just want to be like others and be normal,not having to think about dizziness all the time and waiting for the next thing that can happen.  I feel like i"m being punished for something.  

Thanks for listening
