Started to get my symptoms back... feeling very anxious
Posted , 4 users are following.
I had a very scary patch a couple of months ago with dreadful symptoms including shortness of breath, feeling like I can't quite get a deep breath in, nausea, heart palpitations, upset tummy, tingling in hands and feet, woolly head, spaced out, loss of appetite, insomnia, crippling health anxiety... the list goes on.
Had bloods and ECG done - all normal. Started CBT for the anxiety, upped my dose of HRT and did lots of meditation. And it all worked. I felt so much better and more positive.
Then last night, I had a terrible night, awake until 2am, heart racing, tight chest, hot flashes, shivers, sickness, upset tummy, dizzy, horrible anxiety and overthinking everything again. I'm now terrified I am going backwards.
Has anyone else had this resurgence if symptoms in spite of being on HRT? Any tips on how to get over this again would be amazing. Feel very scared and alone.
Thanks.

Aww you are not alone! Everything you are doing just keep it up take it easy when you hit that rough patch again, and just start over.. Meditate breathe eat right ..these hormones are tricky one minute you are feeling like wow I can get thru this, then the next the hormones flipped and symptoms start repeating.. Its up and down month after month.. Nothing easy about any of this you just have t9 push on thru., when you are worried about yourself and that health anxiety is bad just try and tell yourself I just made it thru this I can do it again.. And then go do something to get your mind off it.. It won't last it always eases up then comes back its a vicious cycle ...
