I think I finally found a regular Doctor. I went into one of those quick cares for my shoulder; I have a bad case of tendinitis with some wearing, lots of knots, and just general tightness. I have 2 prescriptions, one for muscle relaxers and one for an anti-inflammatory. I had an EKG done and some x-rays as well. All looked good, said my EKG was perfect.
But they said I have a pretty decent case of anxiety and that's when I got the reference for a normal Doctor to get that treated. They said they noticed it as soon as they met me and after all the tests, pretty much could tell I have a pretty big issue with it. I explained I never really had it before, that I was a worrier but that it's started manifesting into anxiety and panic.
So, I feel LOADS better knowing my EKG was 100% fine and I feel better knowing it is my shoulder pain causing the pain into my chest/ribs/upperback/arm/neck.
I have a wedding shower to get through on Sunday for a friend, am going to stay at my parent's over night, come home Monday and start in on the pills. Because of all the driving, I don't want to start the pills in case something happens.
But I'm relieved the Doctor noticed anxiety and was able to refer me to a Doctor who will help me with it.
