I went to the doctor with concerns over a brain defect I have. I have been experiencing more symptoms related to the defect and I wanted some tests to ensure that it isn’t getting worse. The end result of it worsening could be paralysis, so naturally I’m concerned. The first thing he said was that it must be stress causing my symptoms. Frankly I don’t feel that I am under any stress at all, I’m feeling pretty good about my life in general. The only stress I have is a doctor who doesn’t listen. I also live in an area where it isn’t easy to get a new family doctor. Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with a doctor who thinks that anything a woman complains about is in her head or due to stress?

Can anyone who takes any medicine for anxiety or not…tell me what panic attacks feel like? I would like to know if what i think one is…is really what it is to everyone else. What are some experiences that you’ve had that triggered severe anxiety or panic attacks? I am thinking that maybe i need to go to a doctor but…I wonder what to tell my doctor??? Mind you…i go to a military doctor and for anyone that’s military…you know how they can be!!lol Thanks for the input in advance!
I’m scared of getting pregnant because it’s very normal for me to get anxiety attacks…..will that affect the pregnancy? I’m scared!
There are apparently two kinds of stress we can feel. One is the stimulating type, the other sends us into a state of alert.
I find it very easy to allow outside factors to steer me into the latter, no matter how much fun I was having at the onset of the situation.
How do you know when to withdraw from a situation, as not to allow a shift into “bad stress” territory?

Sometimes I feel fine and sometimes I feel like I’m having a panic attack. I’m not depressed…some people take anti-depressants to help. What do you take to help with this problem?
I do, and it’s getting more frequent lately. I’m in good health, but when I get one it’s like I’m having a heart attack. I’m on medication for anxiety, but it still happens on a fairly regular basis….any suggestions? (I’m also in therapy once a week for PTSD.)
