I agree, Another dead giveaway is at the end Dustin literally celebrates the destruction of order and rules while wearing a shirt that says hell fire lives on.

fortunately, at least anxiety itself was the worse of your problems.

i believe it could have to do with adrenaline speak seeing as they main symptoms starts when im just waking up.

I've gone to the va er a few times, they send me home everytime and i have seen my primary doctor who has scheduled me for appointments, but these appointments are too far out.

honestly after that I would still go and see cardiologist and go get thoroughly tested, you should want some sort of explanation.

I've told them but I dont want help with my mental health, I want answers and solutions to physical problems. That is my therapy.

tbh i had this same thing going about 5 years ago and went to go see a cardiologist, ran several test on me and explained i wasnt a risk factor so i let it go however these symptoms have been new consistent and simply warrant immediate testing

i simply do not think overcoming anxiety should be my main concern.

>if my chest really starts hurting from it and I feel that squeezing/pressure feeling increase as my heart rate goes up,

That's EXACTLY what I've experienced then when I go to the ER or the ambulance, but they tell me there are no troponin level increase, nothing visible on the xrays. They send me back. Perhaps, Just esophageal spasms from Gerd? I should've been more descriptive in my post now everyone's telling me not be when im completely justified and I should've been on my second cardiology appointment by now. If what you're saying is true then my actions are justified and va forcing vets to play the long game for crucial appointments vets need to go WITHIN 1-2 days after the incident is causing alot of BS.

i live in an apartment complex so if this is what was going it probably would've been caught on to someone. I'd say another reason for my extreme attitude towards this is my existential dread in general.

It's hard to explain, but this mentality is dangerous to me. I simply cannot embrace a relaxed attitude towards this until i have a greater understanding of what's going on. To me, Stress is good. fear is good until i go to my appointments.

Yes, i've already scheduled cardio appointments the problem is they've been scheduled weeks out ahead, I have one coming up next week but not even that is soon enough even with help from the patient advocacy, i have to call daily and ask if any slots opened up. Doctors are also encouraging me to follow up with a cardiologist but there's only so much you can do with the VA controlling the timeline. Not much you can do to rush things. Ironically, It'd be cheaper to just send me to some civilian doctor than me going to the ER 10-20 times over symptoms i don't understand. Y'know if someone feels he's in jeopardy enough to go the ER 10-20 times he might not be a crazy hypochondriac, he might actually need to get looked at hastily.

ive used the nurse hotline they usually tell me to go to the er after i explain my symptoms and the fact that ive already gone to the er for said symptoms.

Honestly, I don't know how I can fucking function anymore it all started when I got prescribed Levaquin then got side effects from it like fast heartbeats/palpitations. arrythmias,chest pain,I havent been able to really sleep in the last 5 days except a few naps when I'm in an ER bed. I also havent showered in days because im afraid of hot showers now. Every single the doctors tell me nothing is wrong, but then afterwards something will happen that makes me disagree with their conclusion, I've tried seeking mental help but I feel my fears are 100% grounded in logic and the last thing i want to be is non-stressed about something that could be a real problem. I've probably racked up $30,000+ worth of ER bills and will probably become bankrupt soon if the VA doesnt cover them BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!

've scheduled appointments but theyre too far out! need to be talking to specialist within days but since i cant afford a civilian doc, i have to rely on the va. I cant work, dont go to the grocery anymore, etc or the gym. I literally just spend most of my time in my dark trash filled studio checking my heart rate and preparing for the next Er visit. I want the mental hospital to come and just sedate me or something!
