About 3 months ago, I had a full blown panic attack. That changed my life forever, I though I was dying of a heartattack. At the moment, I didn't know it was a panic attack because I never felt like that before. Anyway, I was rush to a trauma hospital here in San Antonio,Tx which by the way my g/f is a CT there. They ask a couple of questions then hook me up to an EKG, check out fine. Blood Pressure was kinda high 150/92, so I had head CT performed for any bleed,stroke, ect...perfectly fine. Got a chest xray to check for blood clot..negative nothing.
Had a Sonogram on my legs for blood clots..negative. At this could of been performed with a CT but I was over the weight limit. Did a blood test, sugar was normal high, cholestrol was fine,ect...except Liver enzyme were level. In other words I had a fatty liver which I kinda knew cause I was eating out a lot. So anyways, I was admitted in the hospital for 3 days with heart monitor on me all the time. They gave me the meds for blood clots just in case I did have one. They told me I was going to receive 3 more different test: A sleep study, Echogram, and Stress Test. Well went to the sleep study, they said I had sleep apnea but not bad I only needed a bit of oxygen.
I go for an echogram finish then they tell me that the cardio guy is going to review it. An hour later, the doctor comes in and ask me if I was ready to go home. I was like what, I say ok...He tells me to get on a diet and lose the weight. So I asked my g/f what about my stress test, she told me everything looked fine so I guess there no need for a stress test.
When I was admitted to the hospital I weighted 431 now I'm at 390 with my own custom diet with very light excersice. It took me 3 months to lose the weight cause I found out that I'm suffering from anxiety/panic disorder. So I'm kinda scared to excersice, drive, or even be around large crowds.
My doctor put me on Paxil after another episode of something similiar a month later. She also put me on 5 mg of Norvasc cause I kept buggin about my blood pressure (138/88). She didn't think it was life threating and told me once the weight went down, my blood pressure will too. She said they were only temporary.
So far my blood pressure runs 126/70 without the meds according to my machine but another doc took it manually and told me it ran 120/70. That was at -25 lbs. So far I have two goals: 1. Lose the weight, 2. Get help with my anxiety/panic disorder.
I hope to learn more about losing weight cause right now, I'm getting by what I know. I would really like to hear everyone advice especially the ones that can relate to a smiliar situation like mind. Feel free to reply on here or PM.
