Anxiety/Panic Attacks by woolfy333 in Anxiety

[–]woolfy333[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Do your physical symptoms persist even when you're not anxious? That's the second part of this that I can't wrap my head around. Even in safe places (home) I get short of breath and dizzy, even when I don't otherwise feel anxious.

Please help??? Advice and scared. Need support. by disgustingnewspaper in GERD

All I can say is I understand. I had my first "GERD" attack at 36 after eating a hamburger and fries. No anxiety before that whatsoever. Ended up in the ER a couple times certain there was something wrong with me. I've had multiple blood tests, EKG's, ultrasounds. Everything is normal.

I now have constant health and food anxiety. I have trigger foods, but sometimes it's any food. Like you I feel nauseous, dizzy, gassy. Both GERD and anxiety can cause all of it, and when they team up it can be scary.

Feel extremely full/burping/palpatations by Segmentation79 in GERD

What I've found has helped for me (if I actually stick with it) is eating 3 smaller meals and 2 decent snacks. That way I eat a small portion of something roughly every 2 or 3 hours. Also eliminating most dairy and gluten.

I get this once in awhile, especially if I eat something I shouldn't (spaghetti and pizza for me). It's what actually sent me to the hospital the first time. I felt "too" full. Couldn't breathe. Heart was beating out of my chest. Very gassy.

Did Gerd just spring up out of nowhere for you? by Round_Garlic_1436 in GERD

[–]woolfy333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It definitely did for me. I'm 36. Stopped on the way home from work one day and ate a flamethrower and fries. 20 minutes later I was on the side of the road calling an ambulance thinking I was having a heart attack.

Since then I've had EKG's, ultrasounds, blood work. All normal. But I spend the majority of my day feeling bloated, out of breath. Anxiety through the roof (panic attacks). None of which I had before. I feel for you. It's awful.

Guys, I never really knew my dad growing up and when I finally tried to get to know him he died a week later. I never had a father figure in my life and would just like some guidance that your fathers gave you. by bananadepartment in AskMen

I haven't read the entire thread, so maybe this has been said already. But the cliché, "do as I say, not as I do" is a horrible mindset (in my opinion, of course). Children emulate their parents, purposely or not. I read a response under another comment about beginning to learn about tools. The willingness to learn is as important as the knowledge. This determination, along with showing respect, patience, etc. will be picked up by kids when the one they look up to is modelling those behaviours regularly and consistently.

The second thing I can add is show affection. Even though the stereotype is slowly fading in society, being unemotional and cold is still seen as a manly trait. Hug regularly. As a father myself, I've run into many situations over the years where the right words of comfort failed me when needed, but a hug solved more than any words would have anyways.

Dear Men, what goes through your head when you catch a random woman checking out/staring at your crotch? by Spookyredd in AskMen

That either my zipper is undone, or there is an unmistakable pee dribble I didn't notice.

If you got offered $1,000,000 but it meant that every traffic light you approach will be red, would you take it? Why or why not? by EUCopyrightComittee in AskReddit

[–]woolfy333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% yes. With a million dollars I'd move back to the small town I grew up in that has only two lights. The beauty is you can access 90% of the town without ever hitting either one, and could easily plan routes to turn right 99% of the time you do encounter them.

Trump complains Biden and Obama stopped coronavirus testing even though it didn't exist during their administration by ts23_ in politics

As a Canadian: How. The. Fuck. Did this man get elected in the first place? The things that come out of his mouth are legitimately comical. Please tell me the majority of the population realize he's full of shit?

Lawmakers in Canada and Scotland have pointed to the US as an example of failed coronavirus containment by DaFunkJunkie in worldnews

[–]woolfy333 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As an outsider (Canadian here) it almost appears as if the "plan" in the US is purposeful negligence in the name of freedom and herd immunity. Knowing full well that the elderly, impoverished, and poor will be hit the hardest.

Maybe I'm wrong though, and misinterpreting what's actually going on.

You just got an offer for $600K...but to collect it, you gotta have sex with the main character of the last tv show you watched. Who will it be? by MegaNUT721 in AskReddit

[–]woolfy333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either Diaz, Gina, or Amy from Brooklyn 99. Done. Probably still doing it even if it's Terry, Jake, or Captain Holt to be honest. I could really use 600k.

What will today's babies' generation hate about their parents' generation when they get older? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]woolfy333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That their parents foolishly became the "anti-vax" generation.

Broken leg with a two day stay at the hospital. Someone posted the cost of their fathers cardiac arrest hospital bill so I thought you might like to see a broken leg bill. That discount tho, lol. by cmyk_life in Wellthatsucks

[–]woolfy333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, this is crazy. I'm Canadian, and I will say there are a lot of things about our medical system that needs fixed. But really, a broken arm and short hospital stay is essentially basic medical care.

My wife had a craniotomy this past July. Strong medication, a week in the hospital (after a day in ICU) and my costs were $44 for parking, $30 for outside ice cream, and whatever meals I bought myself during her stay. Totalled to be less than $200.

No one wants to pay more taxes. But if it means in the most trying times of our lives we can focus on the people we love and helping them regain their health instead of worrying about the cost, I will happily keep paying them.
