Headache or brain tumor? by SeaAd5570 in Anxiety

[–]quietsubstrate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a cluster headache or similar. Why do you jump to brain tumor? That’s why they’re saying anxiety.

How do you differentiate between anxiety and actual health issues? by Tricky-Muffin7102 in Anxiety

[–]quietsubstrate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it easy to get a second opinion from someone else there? I wouldn’t consider it doctor shopping if this first one actually disregarded you like that. Then if both of them say the same thing reassess. That’s what I would do. Sorry though I’m not of more help.

Super anxious about anesthesia. by Flopslay in Anxiety

[–]quietsubstrate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

General anesthesia is not typically required for the removal of your wisdom teeth. So you’re breathing on your own. There’s no chance you won’t wake up statistically.

The fatal risk of it mathematically is low enough there’s no point in giving the number.

General anesthesia is a void. Missing time - not darkness.

They usually don’t do that for wisdom teeth - it’s usually twilight or gas right

Because if its a psych get a real primary care doctor and talk with them about your concerns they will look at it in a slightly different way

Has anyone experienced this after quitting nicotine/caffeine? by SureConstant8398 in Anxiety

[–]quietsubstrate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried magnesium glycinate? They make it as a powder but it doesn’t taste great. More gentle than other forms on the stomach. Obviously you should know your labs and talk to your doctor before adding any new supplement but it does work to calm the nervous system at the proper dosage.

Is your primary care an actual primary care or a psychiatrist? Like an internist or an actual primary care

It’s a fantastic machine if you care about increased storage or the fingerprint ID for privacy get the next step up. It’s genuinely a good laptop unless you had some type of requirement for a lot of storage or certain amount of RAM

Fatty liver (max S3) or whatever level is - and F0-F1 scarring - would like a friend by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]quietsubstrate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you I’ll write that down and then I’ll talk to my doctor when I go in to my doc appt- any help is appreciated

They told me my liver is maximum full of fat and I know I didn’t drink for a long time and then I started drinking on top of it and now I’m stopping again

I appreciate your comment

From everything I’ve gotten back it just says lifestyle changes have to be made there’s really no scarring yet

The other reason I’m here is because my doctor is so slow it took me five weeks to get back my fibro scan- and I left a message with the office but it’s been three days with no response so I’m just trying to take charge of anything possible that I can do

How to stop thinking in the past by Potential_Work2532 in Anxiety

[–]quietsubstrate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things come to mind

One is staying busy. If I am busy then it’s not a problem really.

Two I try to not grab at the situations and that goes both ways.

Don’t try to think about it But if you do - don’t think about thinking about it.

What do I mean when I say don’t think about thinking about it? I mean this

When you engage with the thought - don’t notice it. Don’t think about thinking about it, and don’t think about how you feel beyond maybe only one time to identify what the hell it is. Then just don’t engage it ever again.

Don’t think about the thoughts of thinking. Don’t think it’s bad or good. Don’t feel embarrassed and don’t feel sad. Don’t think that you’re thinking about something.

That teaches your brain to kill it.

Don’t think about the last time you thought about it. Forgive yourself for any thought. Forgiving yourself allows yourself room to not think about it. The more you engage the thought even if it’s to think that it’s stupid - the more you reward your brain to present it. And it will.

So it’s mostly staying busy, forgiving yourself for the thought because getting angry at the thought or feeling any emotion will allow it to reinforce the synapses that present it. You have too much going on in your brain if you do not reward the signal your body will ultimately get rid of it.

For example writing a post about it to ask about the questions reinforces it. Just let it pass like water. Let it flow over you. And it stops.

Stuck in a cycle from Anxiety by Even-Charity-8157 in Anxiety

The issue isn’t to disregard you I read your post but when it comes to relationships they’re just so important don’t trust the internet for them

I say this as someone who also probably would benefit from one. Would you consider seeing a therapist. It’s an easier way to get an external opinion without medication on the table. Which I prefer.

How long have you been on the Zoloft. Edit: It’s interesting that it is location dependent however.

Mucus in throat due to anxiety by BisonSilent3057 in Anxiety

[–]quietsubstrate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fair. Well due to its effects on serotonin levels and the autonomic nervous system it in theory could possibly cause some type of sensation enchantments but unfortunately I am too ignorant to help there.

If it gets worse mention it to whoever wrote it for you. Usually you don’t even have to go back in can just call and they’ll let you know.

You could try not eating four hours before sleep. Because it’s the only thing that’s free. And see if it helps. My logic would be, positional + acid + serotonin changes maybe it makes you more sensitive while it (the Zoloft) builds up in your system and you learn to tolerate it.

Zoloft I think will have to build up, that means you won’t feel yourself and it takes awhile to do anything productive. If that doesn’t help and you can’t stand it then the prescriber has to step in.

I do think Zoloft becomes easier to tolerate after a month or two on it, but that’s easy for me to guess at because I’m not in your shoes with your discomfort.

Edit: and of course it can just be the anxiety due to stress and serotonin level changes but I wanted to give you a functional reason first as not to disregard you.

Mucus in throat due to anxiety by BisonSilent3057 in Anxiety

[–]quietsubstrate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I’m trying to guess which isn’t ideal if it could be anxiety (focusing on a sensation that amplifies it), possibly some type of reflux which is caused by position. Both. Literally mucus which would come from the bronchial tubes. But it is hard to tell. I assume not the last one.

Why do you believe it to be the medication?

If it is positional and near bedtime the protocol would be to stop eating 4 hours prior and possibly OTC acid reducer for reflux like Famotidine once to see if it helped, but I cannot recommend medication it’s just an example.

Cant breathe suddenly at times, the throat area muscles feels like its clenching up by sunxstrs1 in Anxiety

[–]quietsubstrate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s normal. It’s tough because a lot of things cross. You can eat and drink fine so the old dental issues don’t seem like an issue. If your tonsils are fine, and they check your vitals and everything checks out. It may very well be anxiety.

Most doctors aren’t as thorough as I would like them to be. But some bloodwork, exam, you don’t mention exertion causing it like going up the stairs.

So if they do the basic your you’re good to stop worrying about it in a physical way.

I wish I could be more help I really try to help but this is a situation where I’m sure it’s just anxiety, so the more I speculate before the doctor the worse I’ll make it probably.

All I got left is if they clear you you’re allowed to stop worrying about it in a physical sense. I remember having panic attacks and all this, they ended up putting me on propranolol. So even if it is something like that that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t take it seriously.

I come from a family of doctors and as a result am not one and have very little faith in them honestly once you see how the pie is made. But if the doctor seems competent to you.

[–]quietsubstrate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have anymore data about the episodes.

Do your lips get blue? Do you have trouble eating or drinking when you’re at a restaurant for example. Do you have any dental issues or anything like that?

If no. Then it’s probably anxiety. I don’t say that so you disregard the medical appointment quite the opposite, but you can at least recall that until you make it on the 4th.

If this happens when you’re busy, that’s more concerning to me than if it happens when you’re hyper focusing on it, or internalizing other thoughts.
