> As well as anxiety. I just spent two days in two weeks in the ER. Shortness of breathe the first time. Cardiac work-up negative Doc said anxiety attack. Prescription xanax never filled it. Yesterday have been having chest pain on rest for two weeks couldn't sleep roll over etc. ER again this time an angiogram and now back to the GP and then the neurologist the CP on the left side and this ER doc said it could be the slight scoliosis. Meanwhile three MRI's brain, neck, spine no results yet. And this ER doc wants nerve conduction tests. Stress can kill. Love Phillipa ps now I have percocet for the chest pain guess what wierd but my husband said I was laughing today from one meansley percocet last night. Maybe there is something to this opiate thing.
Yes -- percocet is wonderful stuff ... :) For a week or two. Then tolerance sets in and you can't go to the bathroom -- which is why Imodium is such a good drug because it is an opiate that cant cross the blood brain barrier.
Stress can kill, over the long term, but one also has to look at the feedback loop of stress and anxiety, and overmonitoring and overvigilance, which leads to more panic episodes and the like, none of course which are anyone's fault.-- J
