Panic attacks and health anxiety

[DontstepontheMomeRaths]

Everytime I have pmt it gets so much worse. I'm on 20mg fluoxetine but I'm starting to think I need to go back to the GP.

The rest of the time I'm mostly ok.

Any advice? I'm sitting here with this awful rising feeling yet again.

I've managed to get a GP appointment for tomorrow. I had a horrid wave of panic attacks again today. I need to see her. I can't go on like this. I want to enter the NY without suffering with them.

I forgot to come back and update. I'm now on the pill. GP gave me some beta blockers for if needed. Loathe to take them though.

Not sure if the pill is making a difference yet. Sadly despite my most recent period just coming to an end my boobs are sore again already. And I'm spotting but that's to be expected on the pill to begin with.

I've also started wearing a copper bracelet to help the aches and pains.

Right now a hysterectomy is tempting... Bit extreme though.

I've heard good things about beta blockers and anxiety. I'm thinking about asking for a blood test and hrt. Have felt ok this week. But I know it's lurking. Well done you on seeing your gp!

Blood test needs to be when your due on. So I'd start the ball rolling.

The trouble with being peri is it can take several blood tests to get a clear result as the hormones are fluctuating. My last one appeared fine and normal. And I know I'm not.

I'm getting more panic attacks on the pill after 7 days than I got off it.

I'm starting to think I want to stop. And my boobs are so sore despite being on it. I need to keep shouting until I'm listened to at GP. This isn't the answer for me. I need to be functional for kids and for my own sanity.
