Ok so I haven't been on here for a while. Been SUPER busy and in general just been doing the whole life thing.
But I feel like I need some opintions and such... Was wondering if you guys can get me some insight to this sort of thing...


I started having chest pains a few days ago. Went to the Dr. yesterday. They did an EKG (where they check my heart). It didn't come back 'perfect' like they wanted it. Something about my heart isn't pumping the blood back in just right. So I got a stress test Tuesday. They did some blood work, got the call back on this this morning. My sugar is low, so they want me to eat frequent small meals. :/



Hubby wanted me to be honest about my eating habits. So I was. I told her I restrict and b/p (though you know... I try not too do that but it happens). She said it's okay, that it happens a lot more often the people realize. That her best friend had one too. She said the hardest part was telling someone (her) and she said it was good. She wanted to put the paperwork thought to get me into counseling. I told her I really didn't want to do that today. So she asked me if I would come back and talk to her in a month, I told her I would, then walked out of there before making another appointment. I will go back.. that's not the problem.. I just.. I don't know. I don't have a problem going back, especially since I'm having chest pains. I will go back, when I can find the time. I take aspirin and it helps a little, but she said she was a little concerned that it did help. Though I don't have any here at home.. I wish I did.

I feel it though.. I feel it taking a tole on me. I'm very tired... but yet working 3rds and never having solid schedule will do that to ANYONE. So maybe that's not it.

I'm afraid to drink coffee. Or take my Super B Vitamins. I'm afraid it will bring on the chest pains. They hurt like hell. It's a sharp pain. I feel the tightness too. I have trouble catching my breath. I can't really function right when it happens. It's going on and off pretty much all day. Not having too much trouble with it today..yet... *knocks on wood*



The only thing I can think about.. is that's I'm not 'skinny' enough for me to have heart problems. It's not possible!! I'm not even underweight by BMI. So WTF!! I feel... like... ripped off in a way.

I'm just hoping it's like a one time thing and this will go away.

Uhm, ok...
Well...

I did the stress test, no chest pains while I was there. I left, went to the store and started having them. So I'm pretty sure it's due to anxiety. The Dr. Upped my dosage of the anti-anxiety pills. I've been trying to hard not to forget to take them. Doing a little better now.

I know exactly how you feel.I'm glad it is anxiety rather than something more severe,hope you feel better soon.I just posted a thread in the anorexia forum,I'm not underweight either and I'm having quite a few probs at the mo,black outs,hair falling out etc.I'm so pissed at my body,I feel cheated.If this is going to be happening I'd at least like to console myself with the fact that I'm statistically friggin thin!(even if I do still feel/look fat).
Hope you feel better soon

Glad your feeling a tad better.I'm off my meds at the mo which I fully admit is not helping the situation but I do find it easier to restrict when I'm not on them,so I'm struggling to go back on them,like I've been ordered to.Take care hun x
