Anxiety Attack

4th June 2020

I had my second anxiety attack yesterday afternoon after sending the kids to their granny's house.

The first time I had it was when Mayra was still in my tummy.

It was so difficult to grasp for air. Difficult to get a full cycle of breathing and so difficult to get my body in control of my breathing.

I thought I would have died.

Luckily I am being given a second chance to still be here with the kids.

They make me put the nebulizer on. Things did not get better. In fact, it got worst.

The nurse told me to relax since the side effect of nebulizer is heart palpitation.

No more nebulizer for me in the future. It was so uncomfy.

They took my blood to check for my thyroid TSH level since it's been 2 years I stopped the medication. Result came back unsatisfactory so they are giving me levothyroxine and I have to eat that damxn pill for the rest of my life.

Nope, it's very unlikely that this shortness of breath have something to do with my thyroid problem.
Nevertheless, since I was prescribed earlier might as well I continue.

The doctor didnt recommend lung xray since my oxygen level is still fine (God knows how I struggled so hard to put oxygen into my body). They only gave me medicines to deal with my blocked nose.

Right now, my nasal passage is as clear as the sky. But still I find it hard to breathe sometimes.

I asked the nurse whether this is asthma. She said the doctor will be able to tell immediately if I had asthma, so right now that was not the case.

His diagnosis is that I am just stressed out. Yesterday my BP level went up tho this is seldom happening. I guess he's right....

So he referred me to the psychiatrist to join the counseling session to manage my stress.

See if things get well thereafter.

Till now...
