I’m November I started a new medication. Everything was great while I was taking it until right around Christmas when I started having chest pains and a lot of pressure in my chest. I also started getting some shortness of breath with my chest pains. I went to the hospital where they were concerned that I had something wrong with my heart. So I had to get a bunch of tests done, see a cardiologist and wear a heart monitor for a week. It ended up being revealed that my medication was just causing severe side effects so I’ve stopped it. About two weeks ago I started feeling sick and ended up finding out I had covid. I got REALLY sick on top of having lingering side effects from the medication. All of this has caused me so much anxiety about my health and I’m terrified of having a medical emergency now. I can’t leave my house because I’m so afraid of something happening and there being no one around to help me. I don’t want my husband leaving my side because I’m scared that if he leaves and I’m home alone or home with just my kids that I won’t have him there to call 911 if I end up having an emergency. I’ve been feeling so anxious that I legitimately feel crazy. So today I decided to just get over it and I told my husband I would pick our daughter up from school today. When I was in line to pick her up my vision started to get kind of fuzzy and I felt disoriented and terrified. Terrified to the point that I had to call my husband to come down to the school and pick me and my daughter up because I couldn’t drive. When he got there I was a complete wreck sitting in the car hysterically crying. How can I get over this? How can I get rid of this crippling fear and anxiety I have now? I’m terrified to leave my house or to be alone now and it’s causing a lot of stress for my family. My husband tries to be understanding but it’s really taking a toll on him to to either not be able to leave me or to have to worry about leaving me alone.
