Hi Valarie,
 
Sounds like you have been through a lot in a short period of time.  In regards to your health concerns if you are worried about it checking with your doctor is a good idea.  But it could very well be due to your dental work.  
 
Working through the program would be a greak option for you.  Have you started?

Hello.  I am new to this forum and found this site on kcanxiety.com.  I am in a bit of a panic right now and now sure if this is the place to post to get through this rough spot.  I have looked for support phone numbers or anything for anxiety/panic and can't find anything.
 
I am a bit of a hypochondriac.  Most recently I was prescribed amoxicillin and had an allergic reaction beginning 11 days ago.  Multiple days of benedryl and 6 days of a medrol pack and I still have hives and itching (thought not as bad).  I have followed up with the urgent care center today and waiting for them to call me back.
 
Yesterday I had a root canal which was horrible as I have an extreme anxiety when it comes to the dentist.  All went well and I made it through!  Today I coughed and quite a bit of sputum came up with 2 very small specks of bright red blood.  The sputum was quite thick and green, but I am a smoker also.  Blood is not normal for me.  This has put me into overdrive and on the edge.  Is it just from my dental work yesterday?  I would also like to point out that I am in constant fear of blood clots because of leg pain.  We also took a 10 hour road trip a couple of weeks ago for vacation (so that has me in a panic also).
 
So why am I here now?  I guess to have somebody tell me I am overreacting, there is nothing seriously wrong (at least physically) and it is just the panic taking over.

Hi Sunny,
Thanks for posting and letting us know how you are doing.  I am very happy to hear your BP is starting to come down and that your are trying to take it easy.  I am sorry to hear you had such a stressful year, it does take its toll.  Please continue to take is easy for as long as you need to and post when you are feeling you are really up to it.  Thanks for your prayers. I do believe in the power of prayer and will be putting in a prayer for you tonight and every night.  God bless you Sunny, you are a real Angel for letting us all know how you are doing and also for including so many of us in your prayers even when you are sick and dealing with your own problems.

Till next time,
Red

Hi Red:  I've been reading posts every now and then.  I tried to change my avatar at one point and cancelled everything by mistake and was too sick to fix it right away.  well, decided to try again.  I've been very sick with 235/139 BP but at last it is stabilizing but still have to take it easy for awhile.  I have had an extremely stressful year and that is one of the reasons I joined this site in the first place as I was beginning to feel anxiety creep in again.  No panic attacks but symptoms, BP caught up to me. 
So sorry to hear of your relationship problems and said a prayer for you.  Thanks for thinking of me.

Sunny,
I was wondering how you have been doing?  I noticed you name and your avatar are missing.  You said you were having some problems with your blood pressure about a week or so ago and that you also had the flu.  If you read this post please let us know how you are doing.  I have missed you and also miss reading your posts.
