hi all, my problem started 2 weeks ago, i woke up with a really dry tongue, i wasnt too concerned by it but it was just very irratating, by monday it was still dry so i went to see the doctor, i am 35 weeks pregnant so he refered me to the midwife, she said she hadnt heard of a dry tongue in pregnancy and refered me back to the gp, he turned around and told me it was probebly in my head (which it isnt) i still wasnt overly concerned but then it got worse so i went back to the gp and he said i was suffereing from anxiety, by this point i probably was getting very anxious but only because he wasnt very understanding and blamed it on anxiety, when my tongue issue started i wasnt at all anxious.
since then i have literally gone down hill, im having extreme anxiety because nobody is taking me seriously and im feeling really very depressed, like i have gone into myself and dont want to get out of bed in the morning, i am having a struggle doing day to day activities like caring for my dd. im also having panic attacks when i go out. they have put me on diazapan 2mg 3 times a day, this does calm me slightly but the feelings of depression have not gone away.
i have read on the internet that sometimes pregnant women do get dry tongues- known as cotton mouth and this does put my mind at ease slightly but im now totally obsessing over it which is likely making it all worse. all i wanted was to be referred to a mouth specialist who could confirm my mouth was ok, but because my gp simply pushed it aside im feeling at a total low now and feel drained. im always sad and simply dont want to be pregnant anymore (pls understand i want the baby, i just dont want to be pregnant). can anybody help me? am i depressed? thankyou
