I am 'seen' (over the phone) by the hospital every 6 months for blood pressure. So they send a letter to me and the doctor each time with the outcome of the appointment. At the top of the letter is all my diagnoses enough they must do with every patient and must get from the GP.
This time one of them on there was 'chronic anxiety'
This has never been on a hospital letter before!
I rang my GP and receptionist said it's been on my records since 2009! I did have a short period where I was anxious and was on some antidepressants and talked to someone (can't remember what type). The down feeling lasted longer than the anxious vermin. But I don't think I was even on them for long.
Maybe not even a year?
Although no one has ever told me I've been diagnosed with anxiety or chronic anxiety or anything like that.
She said I'd have to make appointment with the doctor to discuss
I don't know how they can have me down as that when I had a short-lived problem and even at the time, surely it would have to be worse than I had it and go on for longer to be 'chronic anxiety'
Has anyone else had this? I'm worried they won't take it off.
