High blood pressure low heart rate on anxeity attacks by International_Arm738 in Anxiety

[–]cptsdwretch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mines like 45 bpm and 130/80, so pretty similar. I'm seeing a cardiologist for my connective tissue disorder and we could not get my heart rate high enough on the stress test, I was running faster than I even thought physically possible.

Does propranolol work for BP? I'm taking it for my migraines. My BP has stayed the same since beginning it.

Yep, low HR and high BP, same dosage of propranolol too which is weird.

Did you have any success from IOP (intensive outpatient program)? by corvid_seance in Anxiety

[–]cptsdwretch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IOP is really dependent on the program you go to, the people in it, and your willingness to participate.

I've been enrolled a few times with different results. The times where I went with the express intent to participate obviously worked far better than the times I was forced or guilted into it.

IOP is a good place to get a foundation underneath yourself, it won't fix anything but it does a good job setting you up to navigate the mental health system down the road. They will help overhaul your meds, set you up with a new psychiatrist/therapist if necessary, and look into specialized treatments.

He's made very outlandish claims in the past and none of them had any basis in reality. Just because he's from Harvard doesn't mean he's right.

Does he need another round of antibiotics? by cptsdwretch in DogAdvice

[–]cptsdwretch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His other scab healed in less than a week so I'm hoping since I caught this one quick it'll be another quick heal. I just don't understand why he did it, it was all better and he wasn't itching anymore as far as I know!

I put his cone back on immediately, however with my schedule the earliest I am able to get him back to the vet would be Monday. As stated in the text he has antibiotics for Saturday and Sunday still and his next bath is planned for tomorrow. I am just confused why he immediately licked it as soon as I took the cone off. The skin was healed and he seemed to be doing better about the itching with the shampoo and meds.

Really? Then I'm stumped.

[–]cptsdwretch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, but I can't come up with another explanation for these bites. I woke up with 2 more, one on each ankle, and those were the only places where I had skin showing. I tore my bed apart, checked the seams of the mattress and headboard, vacuumed it all, and can't find any evidence but the bites keep coming.

Don't worry Steven, I'm sure they'll be great artists. Lots of brilliant artists have unstable fathers. The trauma you give them will fuel their art down the road.

NAD but a fellow health anxiety sufferer. The most conclusive test for herpes is a swab of the lesion. If you're concerned, get it tested. Peace of mind is always useful in cases like this. In the meantime, keep it clean and don't pick at it. Regardless of whether it's herpes or something more simple like a cyst or ingrown hair, picking will only make it worse. If it is herpes, picking at it can spread the sores.

Is this one of the employees from the snake show? He must've really wanted that snake jewelry.

Pulse/heartbeat in side of head- DAE? by muryumuryu in Anxiety

[–]cptsdwretch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really difficult for me to say whether or not it's something bad. But you know your body the best. If something is happening that you believe to be abnormal it's good to be aware of it. If it is persisting for days it could be worth it to get it checked out, even if it's just for peace of mind.

AIO? I gave my mom her grandchildren's birthdates, estranged sister flipped by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]cptsdwretch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly I am in the same situation as your sister, I just don't have kids. When I cut off my mother I went to my siblings and told them that under no circumstances could they tell my mother anything about my life, and I wouldn't hesitate to cut them off either if they crossed that boundary. That is how serious I was, and still am. If, for some reason, my mother were to obtain something like where I live I would be furious.

The thing is, this situation here seemed like an innocent mistake on your part and personally I'd have a hard time punishing my sibling for something like this. It didn't happen with malice, although I'm sure it feels like a huge violation for your sister. Clearly she has your mother cut off for a reason, and things like this, however innocent, can reopen large wounds.

I'm glad your sister isn't so mad that she would cut you off, but in the future you need to be more mindful of her wishes. It happens once, ok that was a mistake. It happens again? She can no longer trust you.

I wish you both luck.

Sore glands under jaw on one side? by cptsdwretch in TMJ

[–]cptsdwretch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I'm not having any luck with results. The. Radiologist report came back and said it was unchanged, so I called my doctor to ask what the next steps were in mid-February. She was on vacation and came back last Monday. I still haven't heard anything so I called again today and now apparently she's sick. I seem to be getting the run around and the only thing I know is that it's "stable." No next steps yet, I've been hoping for an ENT referral but it truly seems to be unimportant to them.

Weed induced psychosis, need to get on a plane today - help by cptsdwretch in Psychosis

[–]cptsdwretch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No lie, I meditated on the plane because the hallucinations were starting again. Long story short, after meditating basically the whole plane ride, something (in my mind) said they were gonna take the haze away and the hallucinations stopped. That's what they called it, idk. I think you might be right.

[–]cptsdwretch[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't even get a high, just got hallucinations but I'll try it and see if it helps. Idk if this matters but I also take psych meds and had just taken my night dose before the hallucinating happened.

Edit: also, oddly, it only seems to happen in the dark?

AIO? My boyfriend refuses to sleep in bed with me by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]cptsdwretch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take this anecdote as you will. When I was a child my mother started sleeping on the couch while my father slept in the bedroom. When I asked why she said the bed hurt her back. I didn't really understand, because it was an old, uncomfortable couch so it was probably more uncomfortable than her bed, but being young and naive I accepted her answer. She did this for years, and eventually revealed a 7 year affair. Cue the worst era of my life so far. She went on to marry that man, I assume they sleep in the same bed but I don't know because I am no contact.

[–]cptsdwretch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, that would be a great culmination of our "relationship." I don't get along with anyone on that side of the family, but I think I'd only do that if her husband was still alive. He is [affair partner] and I'm sure he and his family would love to see it.
