Is this an anxiety symptom?

I think you should try to keep your home health care job. It could be therapeutic.

I use home health care, and one woman who helped me had a drug problem. One way she got through that was through working.

The person I have now told me she goes to a psychiatrist, and that her parents have obsessive-compulsive, and maybe she does also.

She has some problems, but so do I with bipolar.

Maybe let your clients, when you get to know them and the ones you feel comfortable with, that you have problems with anxiety, for instance.

I know, work can cause stress, but it can also be therapeutic. Are you getting some help with your anxiety?

You do mention your anxiety all the way through your post:

1. "My anxiety was fine until she was done with her first appointment"

2. "I stood up to go and my head felt very full of pressure,like when you hang upside down and my hearing muffled. This has happened before so I knew what came next."

3. "My anxiety really peaked even after it went away, and I had to hide it" (so, you're saying, yourself, that when you stand up and you feel head pressure, that this to you is a sign of your anxiety.)

4. "She wanted to go eat somewhere and the last thing I want to do when my anxiety strikes is eat."

5. "But I had no choice and took her to the restaurant she wanted and my anxiety did get better and I was able to feel more normal."

6. " This is why I couldn't keep a job, because I'm afraid of the feelings I get."

So, you mention anxiety 6 times.

And in your latest post, you want to know, "I agree but I wanted to know if this is an anxiety symptom?"

The "stand up and your head feels pressure," you said yourself, is when you know anxiety is about to start.

Are you getting any help with that?

I think it's very good that you are giving it the effort to get through this.

By seeing a psychiatrist or therapy or both, would probably improve your chances, as well as being positive that you can work through this, and looking at the good things you have going in your life.

You said,

"I'm asking if that is a symptom of anxiety. I have been treated by a pdoc for over 15 years."

And "I agree but I wanted to know if this is an anxiety symptom?"

This was referring to your recent experience of:

"I stood up to go and my head felt very full of pressure,like when you hang upside down and my hearing muffled."

calmclinic.com says,

"Feeling dizzy is easily one of the most disruptive symptoms of anxiety. You find yourself feeling woozy, almost as though you need to sit down, and in some cases even sitting or lying down doesn't get rid of that dizzy feeling. For some people, the dizziness may even be accompanied by other symptoms that make you feel as though they're about to die.

"Dizziness is a very common symptom of anxiety, and one that can be caused by a host of different factors. Below, we'll examine the potential causes of dizziness and how they can be cured."

One reason I didn't answer before was because I didn't know, and I thought the bigger issue was anxiety, and that you had answered that question when you said after being dizzy, you believed anxiety was coming on.

But it turns out that dizziness is a possible symptom of anxiety.

DS,

Oh my goodness! I didn't know you had gone back to work...congratulations!! I am very proud of, and happy for you!

I have had the heavy head/pressure feeling plenty of times. Sometimes I think it is just a natural sensation upon standing that our Super Scanners go all red alert on.

You handled it just fine...

...and you can continue to manage whatever challenges come your way.

We are cheering you on! Keep us updated, and practice your self help regularly!

Yeah, just like you described...

Heavy pressure, like when you are deep underwater, or like some force is pressing down on you. Head and ears feel full and unpleasant....equilubrium is off.

Try making a fist a few times to bring up your bp a bit before standing....and get up slowly. That should help.

Lol...Pump Up the Volume...

...blood volume/pressure that is...😉

Oh no, I am so sorry to hear about your mother.😔

...and I am sorry to hear of this treatment. No matter what has happened in the past, you deserve to be kept informed.

I will pray you find peace, and perhaps resolution amongst this conflict.
