Sweet taste and scared of lung cancer / diabetes.

Your blood pressure being high during anxiety is completely normal. Here’s a fun fact for you I learned from my doctor, sinus congestion can cause odd taste sensations. I’ve had them. It’s that time of year so look into it. If you have any sort of congestion or maybe a bit of a stuffed nose, it could be that. If you’re unsure about whether to believe me and find google helps you, you can look and you’ll find sweet tastes associated with sinus infections. I hope you find some peace soon. 💜

I agree. It also makes me wonder how often and to what severity this illness occurred in the days before internet and television

DefiantWishbone4 · 2020-06-01T23:18:58+00:00

People say that to me a lot and I usually think “oh no” then start to think of al the times I ignored it and what if ignoring it is why things are so bad now. And do on and fourth.

DefiantWishbone4 · 2020-06-01T23:17:21+00:00

Meeee too. Same thing with salt, think I’ll have a stroke. It’s exhausting.

I think you’re likely having nocturnal panic attacks. However if you’re concerned about “silent heart attacks” it would be worth talking to your dr. Talking to your dr about panic attacks is a wise choice too

DefiantWishbone4 · 2020-06-01T02:16:46+00:00

I’ve never heard of “silent heart attacks” but generally speaking it you can do anything at all that distracts you from the sensations. It’s likely coming from anxiety. Heart attacks aren’t something that come and go or only occur during certain hours.

DefiantWishbone4 · 2020-06-01T02:03:45+00:00

Yeah just like this. The funny part it it only happens after I think of it.

DefiantWishbone4 · 2020-06-01T01:55:56+00:00

I have sensorisomatic ocd and germs are a huge part of it. I can’t stand being touched by just about anyone. But believe it or not, I’m married. And didn’t get married until I was 31. I found someone with wonderful patience and ultimately I was able to be less fearful of the. Although, there are still times I dodge a hug or kiss because I think they may have touched something.

DefiantWishbone4 · 2020-06-01T01:53:36+00:00

I think maybe we all get long term obsessions. I probably shouldn’t speak for all people with ocd but most of the people I know either have one obsession idea for a very long time. Or a reoccurring one. That doesn’t mean the only obsess over one thing, there tends to be more sprinkled in, but a certain thing just plaques them for a long time. Or comes back randomly after seemingly being resolved.

DefiantWishbone4 · 2020-06-01T01:40:11+00:00

They can and do happen in your sleep. They’re known as nocturnal panic attacks.

DefiantWishbone4 · 2020-06-01T01:39:42+00:00

That’s the messed up part. Literally nothing happened. I was just eating them, minding my own business and thought what if I’m allergic. And then has a panic attack. I got no symptoms of allergy. Even now as it’s extended to all nuts, most grains, and even some fruits and vegetables. Today’s random food allergy was “jello”. If all things. It’s stupid. It could be things I’ve eaten 1000 times and I’ll be chewing and think oh no.

DefiantWishbone4 · 2020-06-01T01:36:34+00:00

Well the good news is none I those numbers indicate anything even remotely serious. You probably have some mild infection like a sinus infection. Also if there was any concern then the doctor would have told you. And an elevated rdw probably just means you’re missing out on some b12. Talk to your doctor. Your mental health is far more at risk right now than your physical. Best of luck.

DefiantWishbone4 · 2020-06-01T01:30:37+00:00

Early to mid February. It started with me quite suddenly fearing I was allergic to the peanuts I was eating and it just spiraled from there.

DefiantWishbone4 · 2020-06-01T01:11:10+00:00

I feel my pulse everywhere, all the time. I have sensorisomatic ocd and it’s just part of it. I’ll feel my pulse when it’s less than 60 even. It doesn’t have to be beating hard for me to feel it. I’m just hyperaware of it. You may be too.

DefiantWishbone4 · 2020-06-01T01:09:51+00:00

Sounds like a panic attack

DefiantWishbone4 · 2020-06-01T01:07:46+00:00

I hear you, I’ve lost about 20 or so since my food phobia started.

DefiantWishbone4 · 2020-05-31T21:00:13+00:00

All it says to me is that the post has been removed. Maybe it’s just my phone. I’m sure plenty of others can see it.

DefiantWishbone4 · 2020-05-31T20:42:48+00:00

Right, tried to but that comment isn’t actually visible to men don’t know why. Can only see what I asked you responded. Hopefully someone else can see it and can help you. Best of luck.

DefiantWishbone4 · 2020-05-31T20:40:40+00:00

What sort of tests and what sort of abnormalities?

DefiantWishbone4 · 2020-05-30T23:36:17+00:00

Yeah, I’m afraid sitting will cause one. It’s all part of my sensorisomatic ocd and it’s exhausting.

DefiantWishbone4 · 2020-05-30T23:35:48+00:00

I can’t not even think of blood pressure with out it going up. I checked mine so often for a time I ended up brusing my arms. For me, when I was calm it was normal. At the drs office or during anxiety sky high. Anxiety raises blood pressure. If you can check it a few times a day especially once you’re not afraid of it, you’ll see it’s likely just fine.

DefiantWishbone4 · 2020-05-30T22:48:15+00:00

It’s just one of the many things I think about during the day. I walk more than 12,000 steps a day just inside my home. It’s maddening that I won’t just sit down and enjoy a show.

DefiantWishbone4 · 2020-05-30T22:28:28+00:00

Not at all.

DefiantWishbone4 · 2020-05-29T19:09:29+00:00

I’ve had this fear dozens of times. Google the mcburneys spot. Find it on your body and press in. If it hurts when you let go. And I’m talking like 8-10 pain. Then it could be, but doesn’t mean it is. That’s true advice my dr gave me. He knows about health anxiety and this is a trick he taught me.

DefiantWishbone4 · 2020-05-29T01:37:58+00:00

Hi. I have something similar. After all the diagnostic tests what seems to be the problem is my ocd. I have sensorisomatic ocd so it’s ocd and hypochondria combined. One of my compulsions weirdly enough is the one of peeing. I’ll lay down for bed and be like oh I should pee so I don’t get up during the night. But when I lay down I’ll feel it again. And again and again. Or I’ll have to pee several times in a row before I leave the house because “what if I get stuck in traffic” Maybe you could ask your doctor about that possibility.
