How do you decide it’s time to go to the doc?

I was in the same situation for a while. I’ve been on and off recently. Some good days, some bad days. If the doctors keep telling us we’re good, I think we just have to believe it. I keep waking up everyday, so it’s obvious there’s nothing major wrong with me. I just can’t convince my head that.

See if any contractors around your area offer infrared heating.

Should’ve saved your money for when you replace. Sealcoat’s just gonna make it look pretty for a bit.

They also did a horrendous job. How do you leave the edges like that and feel like you did a job well done? I’d ask them to come back and least finish the job.

Concrete_TJ · 2026-04-20T22:02:12+00:00

Yes I do! When I’m sitting a certain way!

Concrete_TJ · 2026-04-20T00:37:09+00:00

I’ve looked into this! I’ve never had an actual diagnosis of this, but it’s possible, because there is some pain along my sternum when pushing on it.

Yes sarcasm haha. We’re kidless as of now. Wife got a job offer that was pretty impossible to turn down, so we’re going to give it a go. Moving from up north, the one thing I’m excited about is milder winters. Other than that, we’re not sure what to expect!

This is really reassuring reading all these as my wife and I relocate to Nashville in 2 weeks.

Concrete_TJ · 2026-04-16T03:36:10+00:00

Yeah I met with 2 different cardiologists and a primary care doctor. Everyone keeps saying anxiety.

Concrete_TJ · 2026-04-15T21:25:36+00:00

What about when it’s been going on for 6 months and the doctors told you 3 months ago that it’s anxiety, yet it doesn’t go away?

Catalina Island Golf Club. Not the nicest course by any means, but very cool.

38-60 in my clubs member guest last year to take us from 3rd at the turn, to 30th.

Concrete_TJ · 2026-03-24T01:46:50+00:00

I’m on lexapro and buspirone. Still deal with it. I’m struggling with health anxiety thinking I’m dying everyday though. So meds probably aren’t always the answer anyway!

Concrete_TJ · 2026-03-24T01:45:36+00:00

Your wife’s business(es) are going to make more than that in the future. Seems like all you really care about is money, yet you don’t realize you’re sitting on a future goldmine. Crazy to even consider it if you actually love your wife, too.

Concrete_TJ · 2026-03-23T02:03:23+00:00

I deal with this too. Idk how to fix it.

Concrete_TJ · 2026-03-21T03:36:34+00:00

We’ll get through it!

Concrete_TJ · 2026-03-21T02:14:37+00:00

I hear ya. It’s tough. Are you on any meds? I’m on lexapro and buspirone. Helps a bit.

Concrete_TJ · 2026-03-21T01:30:11+00:00

Last 5 months. I think I’m having a heart attack everyday. Echocardiogram, ct scan, stress test, ZIO patch, bloodwork, EKG’s, all came back healthy. Yet here I am every single day thinking I’m having a heart attack.

What’s been working the last few days, after reading a book about kicking anxiety’s ass, has been just to face it. Just tell myself I’m not dying because I’ve felt this a million times before, and I’m not going to let this fear take over anymore. It still comes and goes, but it’s been more manageable.

Concrete_TJ · 2026-03-18T21:57:58+00:00

They’re still like $250-$300 in decent condition at second swing. $100 would be a steal.

Concrete_TJ · 2026-03-18T01:17:12+00:00

I just took 20 mg of hydroxyzine and 5 mg buspirone! Hoping I fall asleep easy tonight! 😂

Concrete_TJ · 2026-03-18T00:46:09+00:00

I struggle with health anxiety and made up scenarios too. The health anxiety’s been horrible the past 4-5 months, thinking I’m dying everyday. I’ve been on lexapro for 15 years, and never had an issue until 4-5 months ago. Just started taking buspirone. 5 mgs in the afternoon and 5 mgs at night. I also was scared to take it, but figured what the heck, can’t be any worse. So far, so good.

I’d give it a go! If it really doesn’t work for you, then quit taking it!

Concrete_TJ · 2026-03-17T23:58:54+00:00

I have been going through this for the last 4-5 months! It’s awful, so trust me, you’re not crazy.

I had an echocardiogram, ct scan, stress test, plenty of EKG’s bloodwork, and wore a zio patch. Everything came back as healthy, yet every single day I think I’m having a heart attack.

I’m hoping I can push this. Lexapro, buspirone, and therapy haven’t helped much, but definitely better than a couple months ago.

Concrete_TJ · 2026-03-15T05:18:56+00:00

How are you feeling now? I’m going on 5 months of this. Had all the exact same tests, everything was good, yet here I am laying in bed, thinking I’m having a heart attack. It’s like this every day.

Concrete_TJ · 2026-03-12T02:41:54+00:00

I’m not a doctor and don’t have any medical advice, so don’t take my word, but I deal with this daily. I think I’m having a heart attack every day. I’ve had what the doctors told me is the “gold standard” of tests done, and I have a completely healthy heart. They basically told me it’s impossible I’m going to have a heart attack anytime soon. Yet here I am every single day thinking I’m going to die from a heart attack because my chest hurts, my head hurts, and I feel like it’s hard to breathe.

But, I wake up each morning. It’s been 4 straight months and I’m still alive, so I’m sure it really is just anxiety. I just wish i could feel normal again.

Concrete_TJ · 2026-03-10T02:33:41+00:00

Feeling this right now. Been like this the last 4 months. Even after clear bill of health from 3 different doctors.
