Hey, so I’ve been back an forth out of the emergency response rooms over 6 times.. they keep sending me home even though I’m not feeling well at all.. how do I get them to care? To check further? Am I not speaking the right lingo? I’m sure I’m not feeling well an I’m worried that if they can’t help me that what ever it is will only get worse! I have an appointment with my pp in 3 days but I’m so worried my anxiety is through the roof an of course my mind is everywhere.. my levels where 97% which is good but for some reasons I’m shaking left side of my head An body feel numb an I’m feeling short of breathe yet I get sent home everytime.. I don’t want pain killers like everyone else (Usa doctors all seem to feel your there for drugs) I just want the help I need.. I don’t even take pills..

    Put yourself in the ER doctors shoes. They get all kind of cases and have to treat all kind of emergencies. So you tell them you are anxious...they have meds for it, but you don't want them. Be clear to the doctor what you want them to do to help with your anxiety. Did you try massage? How about trying Pilates. It helps me. Good luck and let me know what your doctor says.
