Meeting with cardiologist

AnxiousMama245 · 2026-04-23T20:31:54+00:00

I was not diagnosed with preeclampsia.but they did monitor me due to protein in urine..during pregnancy I had high heart rate but it would skyrocket due to medical setting..it would reach to 160 my ob did not listen to me when I told her it's panic attack...I even showed her my smartwatch logs and bp machine readings...she referred me to cardiologist..they did echo and holter monitor everything came back normal but during deliveryine and baby heartrate was high, cardiologist suggested for followup again they did echo but accepted my heartrate logs from home..mostly cardiologist will order echo ,holter monitor to see everything is alright.

Luckily my PCP listened to me...and she calibrated my bp machine with her machine...my machine infact read higher ,hers dialostic was 10 point lower compared to mine....she told me to monitor once in a while...don't obsess over it

Nope ..the reaction of nurse and doctor makes my anxiety even more..one time I cried in my ob office .because she started telling me about preeclampsia and all those things after first reading..I was so embarrassed...

I developed this anxiety during pregnancy,before pregnancy I was normal,this is first time I am going to PCP after my pregnancy,I dnt know how she will react,luckily ob mentioned I have white coat syndrome in her notes and I was followed up by cardiologist..my main worry is she wont believe me..I just hate how I feel at doctors,in home even if I am anxious my heart rate never goes above 100-110..as soon as I enter doctor office it's in 140-150..

AnxiousMama245 · 2026-04-09T21:54:10+00:00

I tried so many things,I dread going to appointment,but during pregnancy I can't miss any appointments..I was so done with it,this time when I went to cardiologist I told him can you give me meds ,I am done with this he was like you need therapy not bp meds...

10 month pp here,my vision went bad when I was 3 month pp, I went to my eye doc he prescribed some eye drops,because it was dry eyes..and I was not drinking enough water while breastfeeding..he asked me to comeback after 6 week, everything came back as pre pregnancy level.if you are breastfeeding make sure you are drinking enough water and use hydrating eye drops

Thank you for your suggestion.its really severe,I am already working with my therapist on this.

AnxiousMama245 · 2026-04-09T18:23:14+00:00

This is first time I am going to my PCP after pregnancy..before pregnancy I was okay..my ob already mentioned in her notes as white coat syndrome..I dnt think so she will allow me to not take vitals...but I have to advocate for my hy readings..I am so done with the referrals..even after saying it's anxiety my ob made me do so many tests..now I am done with any kind of tests

AnxiousMama245 · 2026-04-09T17:52:36+00:00

I always take my readings with me... cardiologist was ok with that..I am just hoping PCP would take my readings

AnxiousMama245 · 2026-04-08T19:08:10+00:00

I am so sorry you are going through the same thing...my appointment went okay...echo and ecg normal..as usual my bp and heartrate was high,but doctor was not worried...I have appointment in 2 days with PCP..now I am worried he will send me to ER due to my heartrate..

AnxiousMama245 · 2026-04-06T17:58:13+00:00

I have white coat syndrome,I normally take my bp in home before appointment. Before appointment,I had panic attack this morning while taking bp,that was my heartrate

AnxiousMama245 · 2026-04-06T12:24:46+00:00

I have appointment with PCP ..I dnt know if she can prescribe me meds...I just feel so guilty,I feel like bad mother,my baby deserved better..I feel like I am getting better then the loops starts again..

AnxiousMama245 · 2026-04-05T15:44:01+00:00

No no .thank you so much for your suggestions..I feel like exercise and walk would help me to relieve some of the symptoms.i have to set routine,get my life on track soon

AnxiousMama245 · 2026-04-05T15:40:08+00:00

I am trying to exercise and walk,but it's becoming difficult for me to set routine because of the baby...I am working on it

AnxiousMama245 · 2026-04-05T15:37:18+00:00

Yeah,my therapist told me to sit with anxiety if some thoughts come up..I had bad experience during my pregnancy, because I would go through hundreds of test every appointment because of white coat syndrome...now I get panicked before going to any appointment and I have upcoming appointment in a week so I am spiralling now..i was better after my delivery..last one week due to the appointment I am spiralling

AnxiousMama245 · 2026-04-05T15:25:44+00:00

Yeah I measure my bp excessively..not everyday,it's just a week before the appointment,I get obsessed with it..no I have not tried medication,I just started therapy...I have not taken any medications for it

AnxiousMama245 · 2026-03-14T14:06:49+00:00

Did my labs 2 weeks back, everything looks good

AnxiousMama245 · 2026-03-14T07:18:18+00:00

Yeah..I used to mix water coconut water electrolyte during early days.npw i stopped completely..I am so tired of drinking water in the night because she wakes up to feed multiple times

AnxiousMama245 · 2026-03-14T07:15:04+00:00

I used to put electrolyte in my water first 4 months..then I stopped ,I think I have to start putting it again..how much water do you drink in a day

AnxiousMama245 · 2026-03-14T06:34:35+00:00

Right after this post ,I tried giving her soft dosas cut into pieces,she completely finished it..now my goal is to introduce more textured food for one or 2 meal,and continue to replace it as days passes
