Anybody have health anxiety, particularly around blood pressure?

@eileenalana123 do not feel guilty about talking, it gets it out and not bottled up. that's important information on how you feel to what you feel. Could help with doctor diagnose and its better to talk, feel free to chat with me anytime you need to. i had a night with pain in my head and will bring it up to my daughters attention when she gets home, its new and twice now so needs addressed. as to you defiantly with the falls or hitting your head, get it looked at especally anything new going on. ill send a prayer for your recovery-------------sent. Have a blessed day.

Thank you Randall!
Prayers for you and your family..sent!
I am very glad I'm able to get medical help which I've done.
Very helpful.
Especially as difficulties keep popping up from falls!
Take care. God bless!

Thank you for your comment!
Yes, I've learned a lot from these accidents also.
More about how to deeply relax. Im going to start meditating at least 15 minutes day, because it was so helpful today when dealing with pain.
I have history of anxiety. I've read about how helpful meditation is, but I really learned how when I was in pain today from fall related problem.
Id like to hear more from you about the triggers. I appreciate this!

Oops! This was to another person, but I hope this is helpful to you also

@eileenalana123--- thank you for saying I've been a help. its a lot of what the last 2 years and a lifetime of getting hurt has taught me. triggers- three that i use regular 1st is breathing in thru the nose and blow it out slowly, like trying to slow your heart rate. 2nd is thinking of a happy place not just a picture but lead up to it in your memory like a replay of a first kiss each second leading up to it. visual replay in motion. 3rd is laying back and watching the clouds roll by or watch for shooting stars. all you need is a comfort position and a good memory or imagination. take your mind off the problem for 15 min. then start whatever you were doing with renewed faith. close out the noise just thinking or breathing to steady yourself.

worry stones are a great source of stress relief, flex ball or just learning to check for your own pulse without using your thumb. all while sitting waiting to be seen. once in the office pretty much do little things to look at in a different light, picture, plant or something other than 4 blank walls.

Hello. I'm not sure if you'll see this as it's been a while. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure when I was pregnant. They put me on multiples medications and none of them seemed to work. Even after I was pregnant I had the same issue and they wouldn't listen that it was anxiety. I refused to be seen after that. Since then I have anxiety about checking my blood pressure even at home. So I get it. I've always had anxiety. My daughter is almost four.

@jen1988 welcome to the group and yes anxiety can be hard to get the meds you need, my Anxiety was sub conscious and i had my daughter bring it to light after my brain operations. I was given valium by my doctor, yet still need to call my daughter prior to taking it just in case i don't need it and rationalizing did the trick, but i had other paranoia issues as well so yes i understand anxiety and at some really high levels. wish you luck in getting something that helps. Have a blessed day.

@randallshields56 oh I've never taken anything. I was never offered help as a child and just had to get on with it. They didn't take it seriously now as an adult they don't care. Probably because I'm high functioning I'm in the UK waiting lists for therapy are silly
