Please read...Why does everyone associate Anxiety with needing to see a shrink, see details?


Your in a good mood, average stress just like anyone else, but the anxiety is always there. Not the panic attacks, but the physical feeling of anxiety when nothing is wrong. I have had that since I am 15yrs old, that is 31yrs. I recently was put into a Cardiac hospital, because the ER thought I may have had a heart attack. My blood pressure was 200/60, that is bad! I was just watching TV, 3 hrs later, I was in an ambulance on my way to the Cardiac hosp. They said it is my esophagus/possible ulcer/acid reflux disease. I was counseled on quitting smoking, but have been for at least 28yrs regularly. I quit for 2 1/2 days, sounds little, but to a smoker of that long that was damn good for me. I know I could have quit, had I had something to take that little anxiety edge off. Guess that is why some people drink. I don't, and don't do drugs. HOW when I go to the doctor this week , convince him to give me a low dose Valium or Xanax, which helped my dad quit after 50yrs? Don't need a shrink!

my blood pressure soared due to the pain. Had Heart, lungs, cholesterol, everything checked, believe it or not everything is fine. No clogged arteries, nothing....(in reference to #3 answer)

There is a new medication called Chantix. It is like a miracle for people trying to stop smoking. It's only available by prescription. It is much better than Zyprexa/Wellbutrin and is specific to smoking cessation.

A little bit of Xanax (maybe 0.25 mg twice or three times a day and then lessening over time) should help you too.

I agree. A general practioner can handle this!

This is an excellent point.
All i am going to say is that we all have the ability to control our own experiences.
This was my favorite question since I have been on here.

talk to your dr about using a product like nicorette gum and also a script for ativan He can also prescibe a drug that will help you stop. And yes that is not a good BP average is 120/80
high blood pressure is when the second number (diastolic) is above 95
