Anxiety

BubFlink

Ladies,

Lately I have been having a lot of anxiety. Not regarding anything specifically.  My hands are just really sweaty and I feel tense throughout the whole day.  The only time I really feel like I can relax is in the evenings.

I do not drink any caffeine and I'm trying to watch my sugar intake.  Anyone else feel this?  I have a call into my Dr. about it because it's starting to worry me!   

Thanks!

I have had pretty bad anxiety during this pregnancy as well.  Well actually since i was a teen but now it's worse.  I'm pretty sure it's the hormones.  If I were you, I would call the doctor, it may be beneficial for you to consider meds and/or counseling (at least counseling) .  I find it very helpful to have an impartial person to talk to!

Try not to worry. I think changes like this are normal with all of the hormonal fluctuations we're experiencing right now.

Your doc can talk to you or refer you to another doc/therapist. I'm guessing what they'll do is have you fill out a series of questionnaires about your symptoms, so they can diagnose you with a medical condition, or decide that you don'thave one.

In the meantime, I'd keep a journal of your symptoms, when they're happening, severity, triggers if you can figure them out. Bring this in to the doc's and it will help them to figure out what's going on.

 Good luck!
